'Powerman' by Gibbons / Bolland - who did what?

[Richard S.]

I've finally pulled together my not quite definitive list of who drew what on the Bolland / Gibbons 'Powerman' strip in the 1970s (see below)

You'll see that there are still a few omissions - I don't suppose there are many complete sets out there but if you have even 1 or 2 issues and can help out with details that's be great, thanks!

Well that's weird - when I first saw that cover I assume dit was Bolland, but when you look at it, yeah its clearly Gibbon's work. The 'kick lines' are so Harlem Heroes.

I really need to track down some of this stuff. As I recall there were some American reprints from... Eclipse...maybe... I think you've covered them and I remember the ads in other comics. I'm guessing these will be easy to track down than the original comics... to eBay...

Eclipse reprints...yep def. got details of them on that post (although I'm not sure which issues the reprints originally appeared in), they are MUCH easier to find than the originals, I've got at least one spare of the Eclipse comics so just drop me a message if you're struggling and I'll tell you which issue it is. Thanks!

I've updated my issue by issue guide to who (out of Bolland & Gibbons) drew what on 'Powerman' - any help filling in the gaps is appreciated
