This story scared the shit out of me as a kid. Still remember my older sister's face when she said "but you wanted it, so why are you crying now?" Good times. :)
You really do need to check out that venom/ghost rider crossover. The second or third issue has a page that Kubert draws from the perspective of the inside of Venom's mouth. One of the coolest Venom pages ever.
Love this channel. Massive appreciation. Would really like to see some more 2000 AD/ Judge Dredd affiliate story’s ?? Sinister & Dexter by Simon Davis is fairly epic . Painted artwork. Slaine by Bisley obviously . Button Man by Arthur Ranson ?
It's interesting that you mentioned the Mignola influence on some of the art. One the first images I saw for this that really got me interested was a promotional piece or pin-up by Mignola. He also did an image that was on the cover of Amazing Heroes or one of those mags from the time.
I found this when I was a kid at a flea market and I couldn't buy it and have literally thought about it every once and while since then. For a while I didn't even believe it was real I thought maybe it had been a dream.
This was brown but not boring at all. a lot of dark blues, pops of color and more saturated brown. there’s a distinct difference between this type of brown and the types you see in the flex mentallo recolor and stuff like that. Those are just uninspired and bland.
The Kubert Brothers, especially Andy, are yucky artists. Adam eventually grew into a somewhat tolerable artist, but Andy with his faux Jim Lee rendering, constantly squinting, Liefeld-like poses, was like lemon juice in the eyes.
