That's a very kind offer, not to worry. Can I ask how the pages that appeared in Imagineers fit into the publishing chronology? No worries if you can't remember! Thanks.

An update to my covers gallery for 'Tiny Toons Adventures' from 1994 (not to be confused with the Marvel UK title of the same name published in 1992/3) - it lasted at least 6 issues but maybe more??

Not sure I've covered 'Investors Chronicle' (stop yawning!) on the blog before but seeing as it hired John M Burns to provide covers it's ok by me! 3 covers found so far, 4 to go.

My covers gallery for 'Cosmic' comic has been expanded again (c/o @johnfreeman.bsky.social) - I now know that vol. 3 lasted until at least issue 9. If you can help fill in any of the gaps in the gallery or have later issues I'd love to hear from you!

I realise I'm a it late to the party with these anthologies but there you go - anyway, here's the start of a covers gallery for these volumes published by Dundee College of Art. Great cover to volume 10 by Anna Morozova!

More original sketches by Eric Parker - this time it's more in his series of female portraits, these all look like they're drawn from life. I guess we'll never know now if he turned any of these women into characters in his published work.
