rob diablo said...: That Issue of Dr Who mag is Amazing, I must get it, Love the weetabix style cards, the Weetabix 70's Dr who card figures are one of my most fave things, and were at the time.
Plus the poster mag,and Tardis diorama, what an issue!..i guess its gonna be e bay, our nearest Smiths is in Arnold Nottingham, and is probably shut i guess, none of the local big supermarkets have it anymore.; 2 April 2020 at 22:50
Kid said...: Buy it direct from Panini, RD - the link to their website is included in the post. Otherwise, you might find yourself paying a fortune on ebay.; 2 April 2020 at 23:46

Anonymous said...: My local Tesco sells the Panini CEs but I see a problem coming:

I've got the Marvel Comics app on my tablet which shows all the new comics releases but it seems those new releases have now been suspended for the foreseeable future - if Panini keep publishing the CEs they will soon catch up with the US originals. What then?; 3 April 2020 at 13:48
Kid said...: I don't know for sure what's going on there, CJ. The new Batman title disappeared from their new releases list last week and has now re-appeared, so I assume that the mags can be ordered direct from Panini.; 3 April 2020 at 14:44

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artist on various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artist and spot illustrator on pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

For MARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as a restoration artist for MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.

Have also made TV appearances as a collector of memorabilia.
