Supporting our GoFundMe downthetubes fundraising campaign, here’s “Doomed Covenant”, a dinosaur strip that former 2000AD artist Alan Langford has kindly donated for use here on downthetubes.
“downthetubes is a wonderful archive of the history of comics,” says Alan. “It’ll probably be useful to scholars of the medium for many decades to come.”
Thank you, Alan!

Alan Langford is a freelance artist and illustrator who today specialises in equestrian subject matter; the painting of horses an occupation he finds both enjoyable and rewarding.
But he began his career in comics, and has begun drawing them again, self publishing a graphic novel, The Secret of the Aesir, a stunning work combining SF and Viking mythology, in 2020.
