Ready for business.
This is a cover I produced a few years ago for John A. Short's Armageddon Patrol. The story followed a group of super-powered characters drafted into the Vietnam conflict. I did 3 or 4 of these covers at the time and felt very pleased with the fact that they were my first colour covers, and the comics themselves were produced to a professional standard at American comic sizes. I actually felt like I was doing proper comix! There are some things here that I'd do a lot differently now (the blurred bullet casings f'instance), but I think the image still stands up okay. I've actually deepened the colours here and 'dirtied' things up a bit - the original looks a bit too clean for the jungles of Vietnam! I believe John still has some of the comics available over on his blog here.

A panel from the new page of Fractal Friction, available to see in all it's lettered glory tomorrow.
