thanks. I was tired of the minimalist '.' to book a challenge place so i googled 'sci fi spot image' and found this from a French comic called BlindSpot. Never read it but the pic is eyecatching so may investigate.

Is your pic our Universe or just a fabricated solar systemy type image?

Good question... it's a nebula is all I can say. Whether it's real is anyone's guess. That comic seems cool and yeah that pic makes me want to check it out.

I read enough Heavy Metal back in the 79s/80s to recognize that image as being French. That was a great era for sci/fi comic art and that's a cool image from BlindSpot.

It's also the era when 2000ad, The Galaxies Greatest Comic, was launched!

Are those two Rare Exports Inc horts prequels to the 2010 feature? One of the best Christmas horror fantasy films for me, even with the wierd child semi nudity & old man full frontal. Very European.

The movie actually feels more like a prequel to them although they were made first - they have a slightly different take. Rare Exports started with the first short which was actually made as a corporate thing that was so well received it was entrered at a bunch of film festivals. Both shorts have very dry, black sense of humour and some good laughs but they are done on a much smaller scale and budget than the film.

If you liked this film you would probably like the films of Aki Kaurismaki - he is perhaps the most deadpan black humorist on the planet. Also from Finland - which seems to inspire that.

EDIT: Wow, I don't know how 2000 AD has stayed off my radar. I just read up on it and it sounds awesome. I'm going to start looking for some back issues.

Thanks for the REx info and for pointing me toward Aki. I've not seen any of his work, but I am a fan of Scandanavian humour, especially Anders Thomas Jensen. His films are similar in tone to Coen Bros, or if Wes Anderson was less annoying.

I will happily preach the 2000ad gospel all day to anyone who cares to listen, and those who don't. The comic celebrated it's 40th anniversary earlier this year, so there's a hell of a lot to wade through. Dredd is of course the big name, and an easy place to start - the 80s were prob the heyday for writing and artwork, and there are collected 'Case Files' which you could order for your library... also there's a youtube channel that has some short intro vids. They can count toward the challenge!
