These 2000AD themed prints from back in the day were a new discovery for me recently. Nine in total. Limited print run of 500 each. Signed by the artist concerned. Further examples of the prints very welcome.

Publisher Celebrity / Clearmark continues to interest me so I'm always pleased to add further examples of their output to a cover gallery. Today, I've expanded the Rupert comic (1989/90) covers gallery.
