Yet more sketches of groups of people by the amazingly prolific Eric Parker. I particularly like the 'market day' sketch with the farmers and the pigs.

I've added a new author to my list of those who have written comics reference books...Tony Summerfield. He seems to have specialised in the work of Enid Blyton (comics/magazines). As ever, do let me know if you have any additions to my listing.

Any Zip comic collectors out there? It turns up infrequently (and issues can be pricey) so I shan't be collecting it so instead I've started a covers gallery for it...

Just to prove (to myself) that there's always something new to discover...here's an edition of a Dan Dare comic, produced 17 years ago, that I was unaware of until very recently. Art by Dave Gibbons. Anyone got a spare copy?

'Maxwell the Magic cat - the complete litter' - an interesting Alan Moore rarity here is this folder with all 3 volumes of 'Maxwell' in it, never seen one of these for sale.

'Ralf Kanka's Buzzi bear' is (I think) more of a magazine than a comic, the character is (was?) a big hit in Europe but less so here. Did this last more then 2 issues? Further images very welcome!

A signing of 'Paranoid gardens' - with artist Chris Weston - has been announced by Gosh! comics...
