In 1981 Ian Gibson drew a 2000AD cover celebrating the wedding of Charles and Di. It wasn't used, instead they went with a Kev O'Neill monster cover for Nemesis.

Historically, a very correct choice, on multiple levels.

Mel Brooks produced The Elephant Man: this was his response to Paramount’s demand for changes

"We are involved in a business venture. We screened the film for you, to bring you up to date as to the status of that venture. Do not misconstrue this as our soliciting the input of raging primitives."

So…where and when do these atheists meet up?

Does one need to be invited to one of their gatherings or can you just show up?

Love this.
Be proud of your work.
If it's collaborative and you're happy with the result that's all the better..
Because I’m some kind of self-important arse, I put the first issue of comics I’ve written (or the first issue of ongoing/anthology titles I’ve appeared in) on the wall.
