Vicious Imagery: The Old Order Changeth: " I've been contracted to write a six-part FIENDS OF THE EASTERN FRONT strip for the Meg, with Colin MacNeil attached as artist. "

Fiends of the Eastern Front would be the classic 2000AD strip about Russian vampires killing Nazis in WWII. A great concept, with great art by Carlos Ezquerra, and so-so scripting by Gerry Finley-Day, heavily rewritten by Alan Grant. Dave Bishop isn't the most spectacular writer working for 2000AD/Judge Dredd Megazine, but I usually enjoy his work, plus he's a heck of a nice guy. And Colin MacNeil is just fine as an artist. So this ought to be fun.
