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!
