Description Lil 'semi-cute' sprite of one of a comic book character I've loved since I was a kid. He hasn't been around for some years (mainly cos he killed by or upgraded to 'Death's Head II' depending on how ya see it. Things just weren't the same). Death's Head got around a bit in his day and encountered the Transformers, Doctor Who and various Marvel Superheroes, in official Marvel UK comics and I've done this mainly for my NES-Palette Doctor Who sprite collection at [link] and again uses NES colors though he's come out looking more like a Mega Drive sprite. Oh well, comic book characters tend to be more colorful than live action ones anyways I guess. Looks better on dark background I noticed.

Info about the character is at [link]

DH is property of Marvel, I think...

DEATH'S HEAD!

I'm surprised anyone remembers this guy. Fantastic work, it'd be great if you did a sprite of Union Jack next!

Ah, but I barely know Union Jack whereas Death's Head I know very well from Transformers UK, Doctor Who Magazine and Dragon's Claws as well as his own comic.

Yeah he's been around a fair bit in his short time.

Who else can say they met the Transformers, the Doctor, and various Marvel Superheroes such as the Fantastic Four and Iron Man?

Death's Head is just that cool, everyone wants to be his friend

Yeah, he rocks. Spiderman met the Transformers once (or rather he shot a web at Megatron and ran away) but...

Yup, althought now it's debatable whether that story ever took place since they realised after a while that if Spider-Man exists in the TF world then a lot of superheroes would have been showing up everytime the Transformers fought, whereas Death's Head is confirmed to have been a part of the Transformers Marvel comic continuity even after Marvel lost the TF license they still refer to it usually as the robot war for example in Death's Head's profile (he remains a Marvel character rather than Hasbro as he was created for the comic)
