I'm always happy to feature the non-Dan Dare work of artists who worked on the original Eagle version and today it's the turn of Harold Johns and this piece of his artwork that was up for sale recently.

2000AD was codenamed JNP13 [Juvenile New Projects] while it was still in development and I know of a (very) few other JNP codes that were used but many are a mystery to me. I've started a list of those that I know but would welcome further examples. Thanks!

One for all jigsaw fans today...yes it's the original Dudley D Watkins art for a vintage Broons jigsaw that sold last year. I'm sure there are other Broons jigsaws out there but I'm not sure how many.
