A Chronicle of Doom....

Positively one of the best swills of the year at Ice Station Zebra yesterday, huddled round the electric fire as the leery soundtrack to our lives played out. Page 5 of Agent of S.M.E.R.S.H now totally fully inked (Ivan, ho ho ho!) and the pencils on Batman: The Black Suitcase rubbed back sufficiently to allow colouring to begin. It looks great, some nice delicate drawings of Bruce Wayne going on. Nice to see the 'copy fer approval' of the coloured page of Sandie Shaw pinned to the wall next to the drawing board. Finally, amidst all the chaos, great to see Agent Johnny's bed being delivered just in time for the winter lockdown. Finally, Johhny showed me his scrip for a proposed Dan Dare submission for Spaceship Away.

Sounds: Through the Looking Glass and Superstition by Siouxsie and The Banshees: Zabriskie Point: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (various artists) - twice!: Sometimes 7" by Erasure: See Those Eyes by Altered Images, Remembrance Day by B-Movie: Point Me At The Sky by Pink Floyd and See Those Eyes (again!) by Altered Images....

A Chronicle of Doom....

Great wee swill at Ice Station Zebra yesterday. As you can see from the wee sneak preview above, Sandie Shaw has emerged from the 'Realm of Ghosts' to be added to the production pile. Colouring instructions were  discussed and hopefully by the end of the week Agent Johnny'll have a copy 'fer approval'. Agent of S.M.E.R.S.H. is now onto its 5th page, all pencilled and about 50% inked in. This is looking really nice - the lost notes have been recovered and the tale continues apace.

Sounds: The British Psychedelic Trip vol. 2, 1966 - 1969 (various artists): Opel by Syd Barrett and The Lebanon by The Human League (lined up as the 'grande finale' upon leaving....)
