Ow. I loved that show. It's a classic.

Among under things it introduced the use of bicycles to move around in towns and cities.

Fox crime here still runs it regularly.

96! I thought she was a little bit younger when that show was made.

Kevin O'Neill, legendary "2000AD" comic artist, probably best known for "Nemesis the Warlock".

Theres a story (I don't know how true) that his unique style was found so grotesque that in the US, he was the only *artist* - as opposed to publication - whose work was banned by the Comics Code Authority.

Sad news. Used to read his Lunar Jetman strip in Crash every month and of course his 2000AD work. RIP :flower:

Sorry to say, I think you may have the wrong artist?

No problem, whilst double checking I could see a resemblance to some of O'Neills less serious works.

Alongside Bisley, probably my favourite 2000AD artist. And I had a fucking awesome Celtic Frost t-shirt with artwork by him.
Rest in peace you glorious bastard.
And everyone else?
