More Durham Red in @2000ad.bsky.social this week. We based Red’s jacket and skirt on Sharon Stone’s powder-blue Courrèges number from Casino (1995) as it went with the story’s ‘60s Vegas aesthetic. But with added stolen combat boots!
It is an honour to have been eliminated by Durham Red this week - thank you @agentofweird.bsky.social! 🖤💀 2000 AD was a formative text I read as an impressionable 11 year old after finding a stash of Halo Jones & covertly reading it in between music lessons - so this is a very meaningful privilege!

Durham Red and the Return of the Problematic Vampire
The mutant vampire bounty hunter known as Durham Red is one of the most popular characters in British comics. An unsung figure in vampire fiction and one whose appeal remains truly troublesome
