How good was Ron Embleton !!
Pictured is his cover to 'The Secret of the Trolls' that appears in our latest 'Lost Treasures' collection. Give it a go, it's probably the best illustrated comic you will buy this year!

Thought Bubble Comic Convention is going to be massive this weekend in Harrogate, and it’s been impossible for us to keep up with everything that’s going to get launched, promoted, or make headlines: but here’s a random roundup…

A panel detail from an original instalment of Eartha illustrated by John M Burns. This appeared in the News of the World Sunday magazine in 1982. Book collection coming in 2026.

For those of you who didn't / couldn't back the Zetari book on Kickstarter, if you still want a copy of the main book and / or the black and white bookazine, here's your chance. The remaining copies are now for sale on the AUK website.

I’ve always loved comics, always loved books and now I hold in my hands one containing work by one of my favourite artists that I helped to make. Thank you again to @eatonjones.bsky.social and @roberthammond.bsky.social for letting me into their world. Roll on Eartha – no wait, that sounds rude...

Does anyone have a good quality clipping of E36 from Eartha published in the News of the World Sunday magazine 1981-82? As you can see, the one we have is ripped. Many thanks. This is for the Eartha collection featuring art by John M Burns.

Just read the amazing #Zetari Kickstarter project from @dortmunder6040.bsky.social where the fantastic art of #johnmburns has been lovingly restored into a truly gorgeous edition. If you're a fan (why would you not be!) you have to get this!

The Zetari Kickstarter books are packed and ready to go. Make sure you've updated your delivery address.

I just realised I've never posted any photos of John on this page. Consider that rectified.

The Sweeney is 50 years old this year. John M Burns did this illustration for an article in the UK magazine Reveille in 1978.

This is Eartha. Her adventures appeared in the News of the World Sunday magazine 1981-82 painted by John M Burns. We're putting a book collection together and are still looking for some of the original art. Please get in touch if you have any either here or at johnmburnsart@gmail.com

Love this illustration of Modesty Blaise and Willie Garvin.

Those of you who backed the Zetari Special Edition book on Kickstarter should have received an update. I had the pleasure of going through a PDF of the finished version and obviously I'm biased but @roberthammond.bsky.social has done an amazing job on restoration, lettering and book design.

John M Burns' few projects with American publishers were not happy experiences. One was Sable and Fortune for Marvel in 2006. An intended six issue arc ended up being three and a cover for issue 4.
