About the Megazine, I used to buy and love it, also for the interesting interviews and the bagged reprints; does someone still read it regularly now and do you know if a chronology exists of latest issues online? Rolling Eyes

Lucy and I still read it every month, and some of the bagged reprints have been really good lately, too. Take a look at the link, here...

Was Eric Philips, whose only GCD credit was for 2000 AD #3 (Eagle Comics 1986 series), a pseudonym?

You got me. Comic Vine doesn't list him for anything else, either.

That cover looks a lot like Alan Davis's work to me.

Cheers, Tony. I was thinking Bolland, Davis or a collaboration between the two. I wonder why the pseudonym was used.

There were a lot of pseudonyms used in the early days of 2000 AD, often seemingly for no reason as creators would sometimes use their own names and other times not. Carlos Ezquerra would use the name John L. Silver when working on characters he hadn't created, John Wagner frequently went by T.B Grover (which was also sometimes used by Alan Grant), John Howard, Rick Clark, Mike Stott, Brian Skuter, Keef Ripey and A. O'Kay, and Alan Moore had several pseudonyms including Jill de Ray, Curt Vile and Translucia Baboon!

I rememer Ezquerra's pseudonym as LJ Silver, as in Long John. Ian Gibson also went by Emberton and Q Twerk (cute work). Alvin Gaunt on nBlack Hawk was Alan Grant and Kelvin Gosnell. F Martin Candor on Helltrekers was Wagner and Grant. Did Alan Moore use any of those pseudonyms in 2000 AD? I think DR and Quinch Have Fun on Earth was credited to EE Quinch.

He definitely used Curt Vile in 2000 AD.

Do you remember which strips he used the Vile pseudonym for in 2000 AD?

by **tony ingram** Fri Oct 30, 2020 2:10 pm

I know some of the early shorts (Future Shocks, Time Twisters or whatever) were credited to Vile, though some later reprints seem to have been "corrected" to his real name.

He should have used it for the issue of Action Comics he did with Curt Swan and Kurt Schaffenberger,

I LOVE Black Adder.
I really love House, MD, but it was hard at first to take him seriously, after this.
