UPDATED: Early Dan Cornwell work to collect

I'm updating my original post (below) with the addition of a quick look at a further early piece of work by Dan from 2014...
The book is paperback, slightly larger than A5, softback, full colour throughout and has probably 150 pages. Included in these 16 stories is a 5 page story illustrated by Dan...


First page of the strip - it was hard to scan! The character on the left-hand side of that bottom left panel looks particularly 'Cornwell-ian' 
Copies are easily available on evilbay.


Following on from my post a couple of weeks ago (here) about my 'prog slog' dedicated to Dan 'Rok of the Reds' Cornwell's contributions to 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine I thought a follow-up post was necessary.

So today I'm just going to highlight Dan's work outside of Rok / 2000AD / Judge Dredd megazine and instead focus on his early fanzine work instead....

Super sports autumn special (1980)

I looked here at the 6 issue run of Super sports comic and I promised to come back and look at the interior art. Maybe you'll recognise the (European) artists involved.

I've also looked at the Super Sports summer special 1979 here

UPDATED: The complete (?) guide to Warhammer (40k) comic reprints

Warhammer monthly (renamed for the last 2 issues of its run as Warhammer comic) ran from February 1998 until December 2004; Inferno! magazine ran from 1997-2005. Both have the Warhammer (40k) universe at their heart and both featured comic strips (although more in the monthly than in Inferno!) - these strips have been reprinted in many different formats subsequently. What follows then is my attempt to list all of these reprints.

Know about a book I've missed? Then just let me know....for this post I've added in a (2021) 2nd coloured volume of Bloodquest it was only on sale for a fortnight on the Warhammer website so I'm not surprised I missed it!
