Kung-Fu Master has what is probably my favourite Speccy loading screen of all time...

(I did post a link to the pic, but it didn't work (user error), so I've edited it out)

RIP Mr Thorpe.

He had a decent innings, at least - unlike, say, Ian Weatherburn.

RIP Thorpe. He seemed to have lived a full life so he's earned a well deserved rest.

RIP Mr Thorpe

My favourite is Eskimo Eddie - pretty perfect for such an early game

Certainly one of the more established Spectrum artists, with his own distinctive style. Sad loss.
