That’s some big ’80’s hair

The original painting to this is long gone. This is scanned from a photocopy, hence the grainy look. It was the cover for A DISTANT SOIL #8. I originally drew this way back in the 1980’s but didn’t finish the painting and publish it until years later.

I sent a copy of the original sketch to a fanzine for their use only to find they repainted it and sold it with the characters redone in Grecian robes. I don’t mind fan art at all, but I thought it was bad form to take my unpublished sketch, redo the costumes and sell it! That was quite a surprise.

Anyway, I mean to get back to making the individual issues of the comic available for sale digitally again, and I am redoing this painting. I don’t intend to do that for all the missing cover art, but this one makes me giggle.

Don’t forget, I am re-uploading all the comic pages here from fresh, digitally restored files at the rate of 5 per week, so look to the right for the latest upload.
