A bit more on Glenn Fabry's first ever comic workin' klass super hero

I've finally found the time to work out the difference between all the Blacksad books that have been published so far. I love what I've read to date and now know what to read next.

'Smooshees' - a young kids title from Fleetway (published in 1988/89). This was a tie-in to a toy range by the looks of is. Anyway, a covers gallery has begun...

More progress on my covers gallery for Marvel UK's 'Beep! Beep!' comic (1989/90) - whaddya mean you've never heard of it?

My covers gallery for 'Street Sharks' comic (1997) is now complete for issues 1-9, the question now becomes 'did it make it to issue 10 (or higher)?' - any help much appreciated

More Dan Dare merchandise - this time it's a 'gyro jeep' - which sounds great but looks, er, less than great. So, pretty typical of a lot of tie-in merchandise then and now!

more original art by Eric Parker - he's still on his holidays, this time he's in Calvi (in Corsica)

These pages of artwork by Sandy James have been (probably still are) up for sale on ebay - I'm a big fan of Sandy's work and it's a shame that more of it has been reprinted in recent year.

more original art by Jock from 'One dark knight' - as seen at the 'Kapow - the art of making comics & film' exhibition last Summer

Just wanted to say, again, that this is a brilliant thread and blog, and I'm incredibly grateful for all the hard work you put into them, Richard.

ah, that's very kind indeed. Thanks so much. As with most things in life you don't do them to be thanked but it IS lovely to be thanked.

I'll do it for as long as I enjoy it and, nearly 3,000 posts in, I'm still enjoying it so there's plenty more to come!

Thanks again
