Steve Dillon - Abslom Daak vintage t-shirt

A while ago I looked at Steve's contribution to 'newszine' Comic Media News International...

But to mark the 8th anniversary of his passing I'm highlighting this promotional t-shirt that friend of the blog John Freeman sold last year...

Limited edition Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer medium size t-shirt, only 100 made in 1990 to promote the launch of the 1990 Abslom Daak - Dalek Killer collection published by Marvel UK.

As editor of Doctor Who Magazine, I commissioned a limited run of t-shirts featuring art by Steve Dillon (co-creator of Abslom Daak) to mark launch of the collection. This is one of perhaps a few that have survived. There is some wear due to age, see photographs, but the design itself is good.

The art featured was originally used to promote the collection in Diamond promotional listings. The Abslom Daak logo was designed by John Tomlinson.
