Another brilliantly thought out front/back cover combo from John Kirkham, showing why he was my first and only choice for art designer of the 100% Biodegradable anthology. </div>

This front cover by Ian really impressed me, as it marked the transition from young comic artist wannabe to professional cartoonist. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The back cover by David Morris (who was Central Mailer of the Temple at the time, and no stranger to members missing deadlines and coming up with outlandish excuses) was provided with tongue firmly in cheek.</div>

After a long time absent from the Temple, David Jeffreys returned to jiggle his magnificent breasts at everyone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
His colouring and art style had really come a long way since he'd last been seen in the Temple's pages, and it was nice to have him back even if it was only for a short time. </div>

As well as providing some terrific cartoons, Frank was the first Temple member to introduce political satire into the mix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Frank passed away several years ago, and his humour is sorely missed. </div>

The dynamic duo of Neil and Niblo struck again with an illustration featuring their popular <b>Full Montgommery</b> character.

Upon reaching it's milestone 25th issue, <b>John Kirkham</b> (who had once again taken over as Temple Central Mailer, with me as Deputy CM) hit upon the idea of collecting all the Temple covers together as one cover image.<br />
<br />
This issue also marks the moment that the '...of heroes' part was dropped from the APA's name, as both myself and John realised that it didn't properly reflect the material contained within, since very few of the members contributed superhero artwork.<br />

This issue marked the departure of the Temple's founding member, <b>Kyle Kimmons</b>, who had briefly returned as Central Mailer to help keep things on track. He did pop into the Temple on a few occasions after, but never stayed long.<br />

A jolly marvelous redesign of me and Stu's <b>Nevada Tombs</b> character, who appeared in '<b>The Teksas Chainstore Massacre</b>', which was probably our most popular strip. <br />
<br />
Chainstore Massacre was published in 6 different comics (including <b>Meanwhile</b>, <b>CAOF</b> and <b>Violent</b>), and was finally given its last outing in <b>Dave Candlish</b>' <a href="http://paragoncomic.blogspot.co.uk/"><b>Paragon</b></a> a few years back. It can still be viewed online here:<br />

Anthony Smith was a fantastic cartoonist, inker and also drew erotic images which you may have been able to deduce from this cover. </div>

Issue 18 was probably the source of the biggest Temple controversy, and came very close to being the last Temple ever. <br />
<br />
You see, after all the momentum that the Temple had built up and the constant influx of new members, this issue promised to be the biggest and the best yet. The legendary <b>John Freeman</b> was coming onboard, as was some likeable chap named <b>Neill Cameron. </b>The future was all bright and shiny and happy times were to be had by all, oh yes indeed!<b><br /></b><br />
<br />
Except Issue 18 completely failed to materialise. Several months passed, many a frenzied phone conversation was had, and attempts to contact the new Central Mailer (responsible for putting the issues together and sending them out by mail) failed.<br />
<br />
True to his Superhero heritage, the Temple's founder <b>Kyle Kimmons</b> travelled several hundred miles across the country, rounded up a small possy of angry Scotsmen (<b>Darren Taylor</b>) and raided the Central Mailers house in an SAS fashion. After wrestling the contributor's pages from the CM's cold, dead fingers, they compiled the issue in record time and sent it out as fast as they possibly could.<br />
<br />
Sadly the damage was already done, and after that issue the membership began to dwindle and the Temple never really recovered. Still, if it hadn't been for Kyle and Darren's valiant efforts (and John Kirkham, who must've racked up one hell of a phone bill that month doing rumour control), the Temple would've been 55 issues shorter. Cheers, chaps! May your collective beards and moustaches never tarnish!David Hailwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02993681225732402304noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666232703530657927.post-55905299076518546212014-04-12T00:00:00.000-07:002014-04-12T00:00:02.898-07:00Temple Classic Covers 17Temple Classic Cover 17 (c) Gordon Somers<br />
