Radek Zelenka was serious business. He had a trench coat. He had a hat. He always had a cigarette tucked into his hatband, because Radek Zelenka knew how prison worked.

This is probably the very best rendition of Radek Zelenka in the entire fandom. Period.

And the art? Holey moley ... it rivals any of the pulp art I've got on my 1950s and 60s scifi paperbacks. FAB!

(erm, yes I'm old???)

Hee, thank you! That one was beet's idea. :)

*applauds you both again*

Erm, and that line helped inspire how to frame a much smaller piece of crack ... for my purposes, it didn't really matter who the reporter was but I adore the idea of it being Radek. ;-)

You're welcome ... :-) I could dissect it point-by-point on typography and imagery, etc. but I'm sure you already know it or you wouldn't have nailed it so spot-on. *huge grin*
