Happy 40th Rogue Trooper & One Eyed Jack Colouring Project


 How I spent last Friday -colouring this Beauty from 1981-wanted to get the Norts and Southers in  as they're a bit of a orange blur in the original -I'll leave it to Mr H to explain Rogue (should be the voice of the BBC but we just see a globe -just like the old days )


Rogues the reason I got into 2000ad and thats possibly because he looked liked he belonged in Battle and Gerry Finley Day wrote many Battle stories including The Sarge which I've been colouring over these last few monthes -Here's his co creator Dave Gibbons who I saw but never met at a comics convention never ending cue -talked to Bryan Talbot, Gilbert Shelton and John M Burns instead - but a total legend so I can understand long cue but was a bit mad with him as The Originals was very mmuch like my Character Jonah Jacks and the future mod thing -although his way better drawn and written -I think I did Jonah back in 98 so way before cept barely anyone saw it lol but interviews great nice to know Americans know about Battle and Action now,and they let Dave speak -always better to let who you're interviewing talk,,, Really hope the Rogue Trooper movies still on -may work better as a streaming series takes a while for him to hunt down The Traitor General -sad that plotline fizzeled out -should of kept Gerry writing it although did appreciate the lovely Steve Dillion art in The Hit series but Rogue for me was Gerry writing the character.hope he got the dosh from the game that came out in the 2000's Onto One Eyed Jack By John Wagner and John Cooper originally printed in 1975 in a comic called Valiant -With this thought I'd go back to the 70's as I'm kind of stuck in the 40s and early 20th century lately -but Jack I lived through those times although I was a bairn then -since that time seen the Dirty Harry Movies , Seen Mean Streets and Taxi Driver listened to The Ramones,The Dolls Talking Heads Television and Blondie so 70's New Yorks a mythical place to me now so seemed like a fun idea to give Jack a lick of colour
