As it’s recently been noted on several blogs and forums that the Dez Skinn-created Warrior was first published 30 years ago (including Lew Stringer’s terrific blog, see: http://lewstringer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/30-year-flashback-warrior-no1.html), I thought I’d throw down a challenge to readers and members of the downthetubes forum – draw Marvelman!
It could be a simple dramatic (or humorous) pose, or an imaginary page – it’s all just for fun.
Simply post your entries to the forum (note: you’ll need to join the forum first if you aren’t already a member*) and I’ll ‘feature’ the entries in a new gallery on the forum (Commando artist Keith Page was first to send me an entry, but I’ve included a couple of historical Marvelman images there, too).
The entry I like the most will win the artist some British comic goodie from my bizarre collection of British comic stuff.
Deadline for entries is 3rd April 2012.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
