BFTB Colouring Project - The Black Major

[The Baron]

Speak for yourself.

Alas poor Sanjit... but I guess Sheperd doesn't want anything on his way, Sanjit is lucky that Sheperd's plan still had him alive.

The Black Major chapter four is now online.









Colours by John O' Hagan.

Good story (I hope those poachers get the death penalty, but I know we will never know, so whatever) and great colouring, save for page 2, 5th panel, where 's bros have their clothes a different color than before. Did they change so quickly? The rest is very well.

Guess his Brothers and his dad did change there duds besides Shephard had been out for a while at the farm ..glad you like rest of the colours .. would be bit extreme hanging poachers.. mind you that's exactly how the grown up Major would of dealt with them

[The Baron]

I especially like the feel of the ice and snow pictures.

What a fantastic story this is.

[fuzzchile]

There's lots of ice and snow in this story(in fact lots of different climates)really looking forward to reaching climax of story .. yeah it is a good story originally thought it lacked the action of the other strips, a bit more subtle , still along with Bloodhound and Claymore one of the better written stories

[Sundance]

my one complaint is that master shepherd's got suitcases under his eyes, never mind bags. is it all that staying up late plotting to be the Greatest Ever Marine?

Britain abolished the death penalty sometime in the 50s, if this story's set then, they may escape it.

[The Kraken Wakes]

loving this story and one of the things I liked about the story was the art - esp the look of the black major, bags and all...

[fuzzchile]

I looked at the way Jim drew The Major as a kid and always thought those were bags or darkness under his eyes he had a way of making him look sinister with his lines now 26 years later thought I'd give him that added darkness .. makes him different from the other characters ,distant, a loner . ..artistic license I used to do that when I originally read these comics try and figure out what they'd look like in colour so in a way this is a dream come true ... I guess time frame of this story currently it would be around 1969 or early 1970's the events that occur towards end of story would be about 1979,so hanging was abolished 6 or 7 years prior..do they still have death penalty for poaching in Chile? surely that would of disappeared with Pinochet's rule.Glad you're enjoying it
