Mike Noble - Look and Learn

I've started (thanks to friend of the blog Bill Storie) showcasing just some of the art of Mike Noble. I've grouped together the images into a number of 'themes'...

Captain Scarlet was here

And now we move onto some of his work for Look and Learn

UPDATED: The real Ghostbusters - collected comics

I'm not a collector of Marvel UK's 'The Real Ghostbusters' comic but I've seen that the collected editions seem to be quite expensive so I thought I'd see if I could identify how many there are.

Ideally I'd love to be able to tell you what stories they reprinted (and from which issues) and which issue of the comic the cover has come from but, sadly, I can't. 

Instead if you can help me fill the gaps in the covers gallery below (#8 and #10) and confirm if the series went beyond #11 that would be very helpful!

Enjoy!  

UPDATE: I've now identified that there was an issue 13 - so I've added that to the gallery.

The big greenie comic

From 1995 here's a look at The big greenie - a self-styled kids comics all about green issues. Having read some of the strips I'm unclear about the link to actual, y'know, green issues, but there we go

Only 3 issues were produced apparently...

Sexton Blake #198 - Eric Parker cover art

I've always fancied acquiring a Sexton Blake picture library cover - and I've noticed that there's one currently up for sale right here - bidding starts at £100 and, at the time of typing, there's been one bid.

I'm not the seller; good luck if you bid!

Check out all mentions of Eric Parker on the blog here

Carlos Ezquerra - Island of the damned

I've spotted here a page of original Carlos Ezquerra art. It's a Durham Red page from the 1992 strip "Island of the damned"

Estimate is 400-600 euros; at the time of typing nobody has made the opening bid of a single euro. Bidding ends on Thursday (25th April) at around 8pm 

Good luck if you bid!

Full disclosure - I'm not the seller!
