Tom & Jerry - London Editions

There are a LOT of Tom & Jerry comics out there and I certainly don't intend to do covers galleries for all of them. However, covers galleries for shorter run Tom & Jerry titles feel more achievable. 

I don't know much about this particular title so for now I'm just kicking off this gallery and will come back to it in due course once I find out more about it. More information at this stage is very welcome.

Comic Cutz - the art of Barrie Mitchell (part 4)

The Barrie Mitchell exhibition that took place in Ryde in February 2026 had many highlights and a LOT of art. I tried to take photos of all the art but there was too much! Anyway, here's the start of a long series of posts all about the art that was there...

1). Harlem Heroes was here

2). paintings of cars was here

3). his work for Red Dwarf was here

And now (finally!) some football art

Jim Baikie - Orkney exhibition, part 7

For approximately the umpteenth time I'm indebted to Norman Boyd for his help with this blog. This time he was kind enough to send me some of his holiday photos from a recent trip to the Orkneys. 

Whilst there he was able to visit the exhibition all about the local artist that was on (from 03/05/25 - 21/09/25) at the Orkney museum in Kirkwall. Comics artist Jim Baikie was the focus of the exhibition. Norman took a lot of photos so I'll spread them over a number of posts, enjoy!

UPDATED: Superted - Marvel UK

Inspired by this post (from friend of the blog Michael Carroll) I thought I'd start trying to fill in the gaps in his (our? my?) knowledge of Superted comic. You know what though? Michael's right...there isn't much out there about Superted comic. A covers gallery is better than nothing though...

At some point Redan were publishing a Superted comic - see below - these issue are #26 & #40 so I wonder if they just took over the licence from Marvel UK at some point and just carried on with the numbering (rather than re-starting from #1?)

Superted comic #28, undated

Superted comic #35, undated

Superted comic #39, undated

Superted comic #40, undated

Here's issue #49

Superted #56

Superted #58

Superted #60

and here's issue 61 - but how much longer did it last?

So like Michael says there's a lot we don't know about Superted ...

 - how long it ran for?

 - did Redan take over the licence and numbering from Marvel UK

 - when did it end?

...but hopefully we'll fill in a few gaps as we go along. I'd have to say that the covers of Superted appeal to me much more than the likely contents.

Interestingly Redan also published this summer special at some point - as you can see the cover of issue 4 (published by Marvel UK) has been re-cycled for this cover.
