This is a page from my ABC Warriors story - another one crucified by the fans! Here's my Deadlock. Great fun. It's strange, there were rough edges, but there was also some insane tight details - like the scene with the priest and zombie/aliens, and the martian biomass. I was taking my brief from the early Biz black and white stuff and bringing in my own Spawn/Manthing loose, expressive inks. But hey, it's all subjective.
For what it's worth, Pat Mills LOVED it and thought I got closer to the original vibe and heart of the characters than anybody had for years, so... :)

Best,

L.

P.S. again, sorry for low res scans. These are pages I no longer own.

I think you drew some awesome weird monsters and creatures in that story.

People didn't like this? Madness. This is on par with Bisley's run.

I like this...
But, it irritates me, as I like the ABC Warriors, I know who it is on the page and then I try to bring a name up and everything sort of peters out.
I could say it's such a good shot that I've completely forgotten the cast of ABC Warriors.

It's a real nice pic and it really leaves little wonder why characters like this have endured.

I don't know about this talk of rough edges. Maybe these people were reading a Brian Bolland comic before this one. That guys inhumanly neat.

Fantastic ink work here! Hey if you're pissing off people, you're doing at least half of it right.

Oh, Liam, I love, love, LOVE your way to use the expressive inks. How long did you take to finish this table? And how long all the story?
It's unbelievable!!!

Aw thanks man.
I can't remember how long these pages took. They were REALLY big, twice the size of the printed page, so I think they took a day and a half to two days each. Something like that! :)

Take care,

Liam.
