Stuff & Nonsense issue 1

Ages ago (here) I looked at issue 3 of a children's magazine called Stuff & Nonsense - that issue appealed to me for the Steve Parkhouse cover drawing of Bruno Brookes! Really.

Anyway issue #1 has now surfaced...

There's slightly less comic contents in issue 1 - but let's see what there is...

written by Gerard Moncombie, drawn by Gabrian, coloured by Claude Legris, lettered by Annie Parkhouse

Havok - part the 6th

AGES ago, I ran some of the Havok supplements that ran in 2000ad back in the late '90, partly because they seemed to me like one of the more obscure (and violent!) toy tie-ins. For anyone playing catch-up the previous issues are here...

Havok - part the first

Ages ago I ran a series of postings about the Havok toy line and spin off comic that appeared in 2000ad - anyway, one of the issues of 2000ad that I was missing has now been acquired (for 50p!) so without further ado here are some ultra-violent adventures from the Havok universe, in fact as this is episode 1 it all starts here...

Creators involved are Robbie Morrison, Robert McCallum, David Millgate and Annie Parkhouse,

Stuff and Nonsense comic - issue 3

Issue 3 (of 3) of this obscure comic, published in association with the Children's book foundation.

The front cover sees Steve Parkhouse (yes, really) drawing Bruno Brookes, while the comic itself tries to get to grips with the existentialist question we've all asked ourselves...what does Bruno Brookes do all day?

An unusual ligne claire style comic strip. This is written by Gerard Moncomble, art by Gabrian, colours by Claude Legris and lettered by Annie Parkhouse

John Bolton's art makes a rare appearance in a British comic

And was the winner of the Batman t-shirt competition in issue the Liam Sharp? UPDATE: probably not actually as he would have been 21 at the time

The journal of Luke Kirby

The announcement the other day (see http://downthetubes.net/?p=35293) that Rebellion are to collect together all the 'Journal of Luke Kirby' strips from 2000ad made me reach for the scanner to show you these....

Issue 1 (cover by Ken Barr)

 

Issue 2 (cover by Ken Barr)

 

Issue 3 (cover by Ken Barr)

back cover artwork

Right now these are the only place to find Luke Kirby reprints. Issue 1 of 'Night Walker' collates episodes 1-5 of the story 'Night Walker', issue 2 has episodes 6-10 and issue 3 has episodes 11-13. Script is by Alan McKenzie, art by John Ridgway and lettering by Annie P(arkhouse). These comics took me a while to find, I think in the end I may even have had to buy them from a US dealer. Well worth checking out.
