Having only just read my copy one thing is really bugging me. The cover for 2000AD prog 374 is reprinted twice, in colour, over one and a half pages to represent Ron Smith's work on Judge Dredd. Unfortunately, even though it seems to be signed by Ron, I just can't shake the feeling that it was actually drawn by Robin Smith instead. The inking style in particular looks nothing like the older artist! Anybody care to give a second opinion?
I would put money on the fact that this issue cover was drawn by Robin Smith not Ron Smith. Not only is it signed Robin Smith, it is just stylistically too different from Ron's work to be credited to him, even in error.
I started to say something sensible but my parents took over my brain!
