Here's a quick preview of the upcoming Hulk vs Death's Head strip, which will be in this months upcoming issue of Marvel Heroes (issue 33, out 24th March in all good UK newsagents!). Awesome colours by the incredible team of Jason Cardy and Kat Nicholson :)

And incase you missed my journal (how could you! ;)), check out this interview with yours truly at iFanboy for more on the upcoming strip :)

Great job, my friend. Your work reminds me a lot of my favorite Hulk artist growing up, Sal Buscema, although I will credit Marie Severin for pointing Sal, Herb Trimpe, and current artists for drawing him this particular way as she deviated the most from Kirby's interpretation. That's all I've got. ;)

Looks excellent, glad that you got to do it before Marvel's UK output was spiked by Disney.

I still like DH's look.

Elements of his wardrobe are admittedly a little dated these days, but then in the context of the universe he inhabits I think it still works pretty well.

DH has always been one of my absolute favourite comic book characters - I actually think a "Death's Head" movie would be incredible and once considered making a 3D model of him to animate to get a feel for what such a movie would be like, but with his limited facial articulations (eyebrows only) I wonder whether there's enough expressiveness there to bring the character out of the realms of the static comic frame. That said, there are many extremely expressive robot-like characters who get by fine on their voice intonations and body language (C-3P0, Darth Vader, Marvin the Robot from Hitchikers's Guide to the Galaxy, Twikki from Buck Rogers, WALL-E), so maybe there's hope for him yet.

It's interesting the direction they've taken with the new Transformers. They've tried as much as possible to leave behind the classic non-expressive faces in order to create a full range of expressions - I personally prefer Optimus Prime with his 'mouthguard' in place.

Death's Head could be a great character to feature in an Anime or CG feature film (live action might be just a little too high-budget for such an admittedly obscure Marvel character).

I love these comic strips you're doing on here though - it's great to see any kind of DH revival, particularly when the visuals and the spirit of the original comics are being kept intact!

And against the Hulk!!?? Taking a downpayment on the contract was definitely the shrewd approach!! ;-P
