25th Anniversary Celebrations - 1983 Quiz
Okay, here's the deal. I'm in SUCH a great mood this evening after reading this site and all the posts, especially after a sh*tty looooong day at work writing creative tenders. Such a good happy mood in fact, that I've decided to add even more goodies to the celebrations of my favourite ever comic. As we all know, Battle Action Force is 25 years young today and so along with all the efforts of Baron and Jamar and all the generous members with the big draw later tonight.... I wanted to offer up a chance for someone to win a sketch card of their choice from either one of 2 artist mates of mine.
Hopefully, this will help prolong the day and ensure all forum members around the world have a chance to win something else in honour of our lovely friends who were born at Palitoy.

"So, along with the big draw later on, how do I try and win something else on this special day then?!"
Basically, everyone who send all (or the most) correct answers to the 1983-related questions below and PMs me the answers by 12:00midday GMT on 09.10.08, will be entered into a draw to win a card of their choice by either Lance or Grant. Simply send your answers/guesses for each of the questions to me via PM by the deadline to be in with a chance - remember to include which artist you would like to have, as well as the character from Action Force you'd like them to draw for you. To help you decide which style you might like, a couple of sample Storm Shadow cards from my collection are below for reference. If you were a big fan of Stormie, I just might be tempted to let you have one of my originals instead:
