That's the (other) one I've got! If it helps track down the artist, both these Thundercats/Woolworths promo comics were extracts from the UK Marvel Thundercats comics from 1987. The first promo (18 Oct 1986) from issue #1 (cover dated 21st Mar 87), and the second promo (14 Mar 1987) from issue #2 (cover dated 28th Mar 87).

I've finally completed my covers gallery for 'Hurriccanes' - a short-lived title from DC Thomson. It wasn't an original title for them, instead it was a tie-in with a TV cartoon series. 7 issues only.

More progress on my covers gallery for 1994 comic 'Tiny Toon Adventures' (not to be confused with the Marvel UK title of the same name from 1992/3). I now know it lasted at least 10 issues. Any further help much appreciated.

more roughs from Eric Parker - this time themed around pubs - surely that's Sexton Blake (& Pedro the bloodhound) in the first image?
