Clearmark comics - summer specials (1990)

I've looked before at comics publisher Clearmark comics...

Were Bears comic is here

The world of Wym comic is here 

Tom and Jerry here 

Rupert here

Popular fairy tales is here

Cookie here

Henry's cat here

But it turns out they also produced a number of (1990) summer specials. As we can see from the advert below...

Simon Davis - Panter & Hall (part 2 of 3)

The (2000AD) artist Simon Davies recently had a show of his fine art paintings in London recently (at Panter & Hall). I went and photographed the art. Enjoy!

Dick Tracy - Fleetway publications, 1990

It's a welcome to the blog to Dick Tracy who's making his first appearance here today. I've picked out the 1990 movie tie-in books that Fleetway publications produced in 1990. 

The first 2 books ('Big city blues' and 'vs the underworld') you seem to see quite often but I'd never seen the 3rd volume before I put this post together. Perhaps the series wasn't the success that Fleetway hoped and they reduced the print run for volume 3 accordingly??

Cartoon museum publications

I've long wanted to catalogue publications that the Cartoon Museum (here) have published. I'm not sure how many there are out there but this is my way of starting to finding out!

Metres and metres of Steve Bell art - what's not to love?!?! There'll be full photographic coverage here on the blog but only after the exhibition has closed. Enjoy!
