The cover for prog 1977.
As you can see Carlos got the perspective on the dome of St Paul’s wrong the first time so there is a pasted over patch where he redid it. There’s a bit of his handwriting at the top right corner about Dredd and a hooded man which probably refers to the join that runs from Dredd down to the bystander bottom right.

It’s Fox from Space Spinner 2000 and he’s picked Skizz. Flippy neck!

Just caught up with the Mike Collins episode and what a great listen even by this wonderful podcast's standards. Apollo I'd never heard of but ordered already. Sounds fantastic but how the heck do they miss out the felt pen story - that's amazing!

Cheers, Colin. Yeah, how have we never heard the felt pen story before?
I don’t think it was in the BBC Thirteen minutes to the moon podcasts series.

A short bit of bonus audio. Yesterday I was a guest on Tony Esmond’s Never Iron Anything podcast to talk about Fantastic Four #51 “This man, this monster”.

And I managed to track down the lucky chap who own the iconic first page of art by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott, and he had a story to tell me. Listen in at

Two A3 prints donated to the cause by our very own Colin YNWA. Judge Death signed by Nick Percival, and another print of Dredd's Lawgiver. Both in great condition and mailed flat.

A 100% for cancer research UK charity auction on ebay. I'm sure you all know the drill by now.
Cheers

“Iconic Breyfogle cover, one of my favorites of his Batman covers from Batman and Detective Comics. This was in a friend's storage locker which hadn't been opened in over a decade, forgotten. He purchased it directly from Norm back in 1989. Turned up on February 25, 2021, just two days before what would have been Norm's 61st birthday, R.I.P.”

I know I have recently found a piece of artwork I had forgotten about but imagine having this in a storage  locker, lost for over a decade.
