Today's delve into White Dwarf's archive comes from White Dwarf #88 (April 1987). The artwork here was supporting an adventure for Gw's Judge Dredd RPG entitled "A Night in the Death of Sector 255" (a sequel and play on a previously printed adventure "A Day in the Life of Sector 255" in WD#83) .
This picture also gives me the great pleasure of cross referencing with another favourite publication: the British Comic 2000AD. The artist here, Brett Ewins has illustrated many stories in 2000AD such as Judge Dredd, and Rogue Trooper, but his style, in my mind at least, will always be linked with the fantastic Bad Company series.
As ever Copyright obviously stays with the original owner (be it Games Workshop or the artist) and I hope that any interested parties will take these posts in the admiring showcase spirit that is intended.
That's very cool - earlier than my WD days, never seen this. I just like the word play on the Beatles album :)
ReplyDeleteThe Judge Dredd stuff in White Dwarf was really inventive and stood up well to the source material, helped in no small part by the shared artists.

ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, so much so that when I see that picture it summons up Kano, or some crazy Krool eyes.
