One Perfect Moment - Death's Head

[angelophile]

A few pages from issue #5 of the Marvel UK title Dragons Claws. Death's Head was just being repositioned as a solo star after initially being created for the UK Transformers comic and had a couple of guest slots on the way to the relaunch in his own American format title.

This is one of them - after The Doctor (yes, from Doctor Who, who became a semi-regular thorn in Death's Head side) dumped him in the year 8162, bounty hunter freelance peacekeeping agent Death's Head is employed by a rival gang to subdue the violent Jones Boys. Unfortunately, Dragon's Claws - a team of government enforcers - have also been sent to do the same job.

Why is this moment perfect? Because even when demonstrating epic badassery, the one and only thing Death's Head is interested in is his bottom line.

Bussiness man first and formost. Killer Robot second. ^_^

Geoff Senior's artwork was so lovely.

And for my Death's Head moment, it would have to be his killing of Shockwave whilst under Unicron's control in Transformers.

A level of pathos for his victim that I'd never really seen before, at that age.

So this is basically Death's Head VS GI Joe, eh? Interesting.

Not really. The Dragon's Claws universe is more complex than that. More Max Maxy Thunderdomey.

So these were established characters in their own right before Death's Head met them, or were they just created for this encounter?
