OK, so here's the cover for Mindbenders #2 - cover dated Jan/Feb 1994, so this is after new Eagle had closed so is this Eric Bradbury's last work? There was no issue #3. The story wasn't finished but the company didn't publish another title in this line.
But there was another title they DID Publish...
Anyone who's missed issue one - this is what went on is issue #1...
Two pages of Eric's art...the violence and sweary language meant that this never would have appeared in new Eagle, lol
So I'm interested in working out if there is later art by Eric Bradbury or is this his swansong? Any suggestions welcomed.
Some glimpses here of Freddie's last dance #1 - which I've suggested might be Eric Bradbury's last comic - except that, in fact, there's Freddie's last dance #2 (coming the day after tomorrow folks). Anyway, we'll get to that.
Freddie's last dance #1 was published by the Mindbenders imprint - it was going to be big but to cut a short story short, they weren't - anyhoo, they got Eric Bradbury his own comic published so we thank them for that.
A slightly faded cover, featured here only because the cover is very slightly different from the above (clue it's the ISBN box)
This copy is signed by Steve Donovan and Eric Bradbury
The comic is standard US sized and is cover dated Sep/Oct 1993 and the reason I wonder about how many other comic titles Bradbury worked on is that I have details of all his work on new Eagle (which finished in January 1994) and then, like the rest of Fleetway's once proud line of boys comics, it all goes dead. So lots of details from 1984-94 but then nowt after that.
Eric Bradbury died in 2001 so I wonder if after new Eagle closed all his other publishing options were ended. He died a few years later (in May 2001).
This 20 page comic concerns the violence and the characters around a nightclub - a great use of Bradbury's distinctive noir art style.
Hard to find but well worth tracking down.
