After my time in being a child at a newsagents so don't recall it but looks excellent !!!

This is up for auction on Monday - it's a strip called (I think!) Annie and the art is by Ian Gibson. I've not seen this before and wonder where it appeared? There are a few clues on the artboards but any advice is gratefully received!

The deluxe leatherbound edition of the Frank Hampson biography 'Tomorrow revisited' came with a unique Don Harley painting. I'd love to see more examples of these paintings, so each time I see a copy of this book up for sale from now on I'll add it to this gallery...

Thanks for posting both parts of the Starblazer calender, I loved the comic and the art here is just beautiful and so nice to see Starblazer art in colour.

Have fun if you're off to the Rogue Trooper themed signing at Gosh! comics today
