UPDATED: Marvel UK's Worzel Gummidge weekly

For all fans of John Cooper's work don't forget that the Marvel UK Worzel Gummidge weekly (NOT to be confused with the Marvel UK Worzel Gummidge monthly) is stuffed full of his art.

It seems like a hard set to collect so here's what I've managed to track down quickly...all covers by John...got any spare issues? Get in touch!

All new / improved images are as follows...covers for issue 5 and a number of Rupert weekly comics. I'm still looking for issue 23 of the Worzel weekly so if you have a spare copy please do let me know.

The title seems to have merged with Rupert weekly - here's issue #49 (dated 21st September 1983)...

...and here's issue #50 (dated 28th September 1983)  

...according to this site Worzel weekly only lasted 23 issues (so last issue dated 10th August [1983]) before it merged with Rupert Weekly [28th September 1983] - so a 6 week hiatus from the end of Worzel weekly to it joining Rupert weekly. 

I've no idea if John Cooper's artwork continued to appear in Rupert weekly.

Police Academy - the comic

There were 6 issues published in the US from November 1989 to February 1990, so the UK version is a little bit after that. You can look at all the cover scans on the Grand Comics Database right here.

This lasted for just 4 issues. Contents look more kiddie orientated then I would collect so I'll pass on this comic oddity.

UPDATED: Tintin calendars

Inspired by my post recently about Asterix calendars I suddenly wondered if there were a whole lot of Tintin calendars out there as well.
