UPDATED: Etherington brothers comics - the early years

I've been interested in looking at the early comics works of the Etherington brothers for some time now and I've finally scooped up enough images to get me started. There's a lot of gaps here though so I'd be delighted for any help that anyone can give me.

THIS UPDATE: I've found covers for Malcolm Magic issues 7, 8, 10, 11 & 12

Yore! 

This was (according to this link) was free with issue 6 of Dennis and Gnasher megazine #6. This was a collection of material that had previously appeared in The Dandy.

There's also Malcolm Magic. This appeared as single issues and then as collected editions. I don't have any images (yet!) of the single issues but I'm slightly better off with the collected editions. Here's volume 1...this has issues 1-3 collected

Malcolm Magic, trade paperback #2 (collects issues 4-6)

Malcolm Magic, trade paperback #3 (collects issues 7-9)

Malcolm Magic, trade paperback #4 (collects issues 10-12)

There was also a "consolidated" collected edition with all 12 issues & extra stuff.

When I tweeted about this search previously I was delighted to have some feedback from them with the following images...thanks again guys!

Just to prove that there's always something new to discover out there here's a new edition of a comic that came out 17 years ago but which, to now, I'd been unaware...

I knew about this...Garry Leach cover for issue #7 of the Virgin comics Dan Dare series

I knew about this...Dave Gibbons cover for issue #7 of the Virgin comics Dan Dare series

I knew about this...Dave Gibbons SDCC variant cover (inks)  for issue #7 of the Virgin comics Dan Dare series. Limited to 500 copies and available at San Diego Comic Con 2008.

I didn't know about this...Dave Gibbons SDCC variant cover (pencils)  for issue #7 of the Virgin comics Dan Dare series. Limited to 250 copies and available at San Diego Comic Con 2008.

If you have a copy let me know as I'd love to get one!

Denis McLoughlin publications

Denis McLoughlin was, as the book title below suggests, The master of light & shade, - famed for his noir book covers and, also, an accomplished (and prolific) comic artist. Unlike most comic artists there are publications devoted to his work. I've only come across the book below recently and it's prompted me to look at what other books are there out to collect. Do let me know if I've missed any!
