I realise I'm a it late to the party with these anthologies but there you go - anyway, here's the start of a covers gallery for these volumes published by Dundee College of Art. Great cover to volume 10 by Anna Morozova!

Well, now I know that there were at least TWO issues of Marvel UK's (seemingly very short-lived!) 'Moomins' comic - anybody know if there was a third issue (or maybe more?)

Here are ALL the details of the 1979 (British) comic-on. This was the 11th such event and featured Jim Steranko as the guest of honour

for the chat at the end of the show about 'Rogan Gosh' here's my signed copy of the trade paperback...I seem to recall this was hard to get hold of (in this country at least, copies seem plentiful in the US)

The mention of Ian Gibson's work on 'Steed & Mrs Peel' reminds that I once did a post about collecting that particular series - all my notes are here...

More original sketches by Eric Parker - this time it's more in his series of female portraits, these all look like they're drawn from life. I guess we'll never know now if he turned any of these women into characters in his published work.

Since 'Gladiators' is back on the telly tonight the only topic fit for the blog today is Kev O'Sutherland's 2 issue 'Gladiators' comic from 1993! These are hard to track down.

I'm nearly there with my guide to the 2012 range of 'Roy of the Rovers' themed merchandise produced by M&S. I've finally been able to add some images of their bespoke reprint volume, so now I just need images of a wallet and the hand warmers.

more pages from Leo Baxendales's lost project 'Supecomic' have recently been auctioned off, I've updated my record of all the pages we've now seen - maybe even more pages are yet out there waiting to be discovered??

Here's a look at the company structure of 'Fleetway Editions' back in 1992 - the question is what was "project Odyssey" and "project Oh No!!" - did these ever see the light of day??? And what's the 'Young Indiana Jones' comic mentioned?
