Last of the color pages by me and Glyn Dillon. The rest of this chapter was in black and white. Deadline often ran color pages in the front of a story, kind of like some manga, come to think of it. I wonder if that was something done in 2000 AD and other UK comics magazines at the time (Warrior, Revolver, etc). My memory doesn't recall, and I never really read 2000 AD past collections of Judge Dredd and Nemesis back in the 80s. I think the Eagle reprints of Judge Dredd were colored for the U.S. market. The 80s. Time flies. 

I was really happy with how these pages came out, especially as how unused I was to seeing anyone else's inks on my creator-owned work. I was looking forward to the rest of the planned chapters, four in all. 

Unfortunately things didn't go according to plan. This was a project that started off with a bang and then became a bit of a nightmare for me. A work/scheduling nightmare. A fun nightmare, but a mess nonetheless. 

More on that in another post.

Yeah, it's very 80s NYC. Formative time/place for me. Always wanted to live in Manhattan/east or west village, would have been hard but doable in the 90s but impossible for the last twenty years.

UK reader here, the old newsprint comics had a limited amount of colour pages so there would be a 2 page spread at the start of the story and then the rest in B&W. If you've read any of the early Dredd strips (like Cursed Earth or Apocalypse War) the first two pages of each chapter would almost always be the colour ones.

Cool, thanks for that information. I thought I remembered something like that back in my comic shop days.
