Two volumes of Mytek the Mighty arrived and they are really wonderful!
I have only had time for a quick look but the restoration of the art is looking great, and the essays on Tom Tully and Eric Bradbury are worth the price of admission alone

There's a lot of love around for Brett Ewins at the moment and rightly so!
Here's a Bad Company piece I have for years, not too sure if I've ever shown it before, lovely piece.

Here's something I picked up a while back, almost by accident! It's the complete Judge Dredd phone card set.
By Kev Walker and by John Wagner, It manages to feature Dredd, Anderson, the Dark Judges, AND Mean Machine in its 18 panel story.
Lovely curio.

Countdown comic, it's like a who's who of comic artists! Don Harley, Frank Langford, Brian Lewis, John M Burns, plenty of colour and decent paper, it's a lovely comic! The art that really stands out though is Gerry Haylock, pictured is his Dr. Who that appeared in Countdown.
