UPDATED: Dundee college of art anthologies

I'm late to the party in highlighting these examples of the work of (future) comic art stars that the University of Dundee have been producing for a number of years. 

Anyway, let's start with volumes 8 & 10 that I found on ebay recently. If you can supply any further images that'd be great!

Now with the covers to issue 5 added

UPDATED: Tiny Toon Adventures comic - 1994/5

 Here's one I'm filing under "I don't know much about this comic - so I'm recording it here in the hope that I'll be able to update this post in due course when more information comes to light".

This is not to be confused with the Marvel UK comic of the same name from 1992/3.

For this update I've added cover images for issues 11, 12, 13 and 14. 

So I've now 'extended' the known end date for this title from (my first ever post about it) from issue 6 to issue 14; this means we've also extended its life into 1995 but it's still undated and I still don't know when it ended.

Tiny Toon Adventures, issue #1, 65p, 1994

the ebay seller has this listed as being from 1994. The cover art is by Dave King

UPDATED: Dumbass comics - Neill Cameron

I'm always happy to feature Neill Cameron the blog (see all previous entries here) and I was intrigued to come across these early works of his recently. A three issue series 'Dumbass comics' came out around the turn of the millennium. There was also a collected edition 'Absolute Dumbass'. 

The comics have rusty staples and are "just" photocopied pages - great for a nostalgia rush!

These are no longer available on Neill's webshop so I'm just recording their existence for posterity.

Dumbass comic #1

image not to hand - can you help?

Dumbass comic #2, £1.25, 2000

28 pages

Dumbass comic #3, £1.25, 2002

32 pages

The lead story in both issues features "Cleansing services: Special Ops" and there's talk in the back of Dumbass #2 of a 2nd issue of their own standalone comic not going ahead - that presumably means there was a successful first issue. One to look out for. 

Neill's brother James also contributed to these.

If anyone has a copy of issue 1 of Dumbass comics...I'd be delighted to see it, cheers!

UPDATE: friend of the bog James Cameron has supplied me with this image and message...I still can't find a copy of #1 [of Dumbass comics] but I did get Mum to scan the original. It's not perfect as she didn't want to take it out of the frame but it's something!

So here we go then, not the cover of issue #1 of Dumbass comics but instead the original art. I'll settle for that. Thanks to James's mum for her efforts. Plus James & Neill & Henry Flint, whose work adorns the cover.

Mike Noble - Captain Scarlet

I'm indebted to friend of the blog Bill Storie for sharing his collection of Mike Noble images with me. There's quite a few to go through and I've tried to group them together under a few thematic headings. First up, here's Captain Scarlet...
