Remembering our brother in arms Steve Dillon today. Seen here alongside Tom Frame and Brett Ewins at UKCAC ( London's comic con in the 80s ) where they live drew and lettered an epsiode of Bad Company in one afternoon! Steve was our benevolent big brother, always kind, always funny and always up for a quick pint ( or 5 ) of guinness. My love and thoughts to his beautiful family today. He is always missed.

Some little things we lose to history... others we salvage. When my friend Tom Frame, @insta2000ad 's most famous letterer died, I helped his family clean out his home as they had to hand back the property. His desk was dismantled and these were the bits still on it, from before he did his digital work. His old dip pens, chewed pencils and ephemera. His daughter didn't want them, so I saved them in a pencil case in the hope that if we ever have a proper Comic art museum in the UK they can live there. From such humble tools Tom helped craft so many stories. #tomframe #2000ad #JudgeDredd #strontiumdog #comics #comicbook #scifi #sciencefiction #art #artists #artisttools #Illustration #lettering https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZUnjvB34M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1976329nmoaoz

Just had these amazing prints turn up from the lovely @vicepress ! These featured in the ZARJAZ 2000ad 40th anniversary show in Leeds during September!

In memory of our lovely friend Tom Frame, 2000ad's resident Letterer, raconteur, and Steve Dillon's drinking and working partner of many years. They closed the Assembly house pub in Kentish Town on many an evening and yet would still manage to make it back to Tom's and work all night on more art and lettering. #2000ad #tomframe #stevedillon #brettewins #judgedredd #badcompany #comics #comicbooks #family #friends #deadline

Bad Company! Sketch by the wonderful Brett Ewins from when he drew me a new version of his classic 2000ad cover back in 2001. He is missed every day. #badcompany #petermilligan #brettewins #jimmccarthy #brendanmccarthy #tomframe #rufusdayglo #2000ad #judgedredd #comicart #comicbooks #comics #scifi
