From Death's Head #4, written by Simon Furman, with art by Lee Sullivan.

Settling in to the LA Settlement of 8162, Death's Head figures there's money to be made in the turf wars between various gangs.

Death's Head continues his misadventures and attempts (and succeeds, in a couple of memorable cases) to kill various Cybertonians. Transformers have proved tricky costumers so far, but are apparently willing to offer big bucks, even if last time didn't go according to plan.

And, let's face it, neither does this.

From Transformers UK #133-134 and #146

It turns out the unwanted sidekick is actually useful, yes?

The first appearances of Death's Head.

Not his origins, no, that will come later (and may get a little murky, yes), but the first time readers were introduced to the mechanoid bounty hunter with a superiority complex and a zeal for capitalism.

And he appears alongside another race of mechanoids with special abilities, right?

Death’s Head repays the favour to Dragon's Claws by letting them guest star in his book, yes?

Rights issues prevents the trade I have from collecting Death’s Head's actual first appearance, yes? Instead we get a guest appearance in somebody else's book, huh?

But not, sadly in a revived Marvel UK, but in the usual American Marvel.... though at least some British creators are involved.

The crossover is called

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.

On a bit of a Death's Head kick at the moment (again) following his brief revival in Kieron Gillen's S.W.O.R.D.

So, here's some vintage Death's Head, from #1 of his solo series, written by Simon Furman and with art by some young jobbing artist called Bryan Hitch, or something.

In which Death's Head illustrates rule #2 of the ~~bounty hunting~~ freelance peacekeeping business.

I think this one qualifies.

When even a giant evil robot from outer space is telling you smoking's a filthy habit, you know public opinion's turned.

I wasn't much interested in the announcement of a S.W.O.R.D. ongoin, announced at Wizardworld Chicago, despite the presence of Beast and the promise of Lockheed as the team's Wolverine. Until I read this interview.

"And in the first issue, as I needed a bounty hunter for a plot beat..."

I wonder who they could be talking about.

But don't call him a bounty hunter. He's a freelance peace keeping agent, right?

( And now to the year 8162, to see Death's Head in a wig. )

Now can we get a guest slot in Deadpool, pretty please?

What about Marvel U.K. stories that are long, long out of print?

( Like this CRACTACULAR Hulk short by Moore & Gibbons? )

But seriously, if Marvel wants only their OWN images removed, why'd we lose all of our DC, DARKHORSE, DELL, HARVEY, WARREN, and indy images?
Livejournal and Photobucket just jump the gun and drop 'em all, or do they not know which company owns which characters?
