Can we see the other fliers?

Recently went through some of my of tat neatly filed archive and came across these.

Some flyers:




And a couple of bags. Not sure who the artist is:



And for the life of me I don't remember this shop:



I have some more which I can't find such as a flyer for a Bad Company signing at FP. Not sure I went to that one though.

It's a joke. I was joking.

In Liverpool we had Chapter One. a shambolic, seedy dump with its adults only section hidden behind glittery fly catcher like dangling divides. Yes it was overpriced and badly organised. I overpaid for crisis and 2000ad. but it was all I had and I loved it and its chaos. its gone now.

Arh Chapter One my first comic shop. How I remember thee. The owner (I think he was?) In my minds eye was the very definitio  of 'Comic book guy' from the Simpsons. He scared me so much I never dared enter the porn section however fascinated I was by it!

In unrelated news I saved a couple of those Comic Showcase bags from my numerous trips to Londo . Alas now long since gone.

You may even have been the person who slid my purchased comics into that very bag sometime in the late 80s!
