Thanks to John Freeman I've been able to update my artist/writer listing for Something Wicked (from Futurequake publishing) issues 1-5. Features some early comic work from Keith Burns (amongst many creators).

Anybody here know where 'Nicodemus the wizard' was first printed? The original art was up for sale recently, looks like a '70s annual strip to me but would love to know more!

Richard I don't believe this is 60s/70s but I could be wrong.
I think it is of this century but drawn in a way that replicates the strips of those years.
My guess is that it is related to the "War Hammer" franchise game thing.

New year = new calendar, right? Or, in this case, some old calendars - this time themed around legendary newspaper cartoonist (Carl) Giles

Thanks and I am correct I believe as when you look at the penciling there is something that isn't last century.
