'The big greenie' comic - a kids comic from 1995 supposedly about environmental issues. Not sure any comic with a strip called 'One day on death row' can really be aimed at kids but there you go. Only 3 issues.

Here's my list of Colin's work for Commando. I don't have 17 issues recorded but I wonder if that's because some of the 17 haven't been published yet? Or it could just be that I've missed a few, let me know if you spot any omissions!

there's a rare chance to own the original art (by Eric Parker) for a Sexton Blake Library - I've always wanted one of these so I'm definitely not the seller!

There's a Durham Red page of art (by Carlos) up for sale in the weekly Catawiki auction - good luck if you bid!

The cover to Fantasy Advertiser #18 (1968) by Steve Moore is currently up for sale, a rare, rare piece from what feels like the dawn of comics fandom. It's on a 'buy it now' so don't delay if you're interested! I'm not the selller.

From 1993 here's a look at 'The incredible crash dummies' comics. Published by Redan it lasted at least 5 issues and even a 'best of' issue. More information sought.

yes, I was involved with this. I did the proof reading on my Summer holiday one year - it was a very pleasant way to spend my evenings!
This is the only books I've ever backed on Zoop. It wasn't cheap either! £60? Anyway, well worth it.

Something for the Eagle comic collector who has everything in their life? Yes, it's a Eagle/Girl table tennis medal - these are rare! Quite literally from a different era, not sure I've ever seen 2000AD running table tennis competitions across its titles.
