UPDATED: The world of Wym - Any Lanning & John Carnell

Those creators of The Sleaze Brothers, Andy Lanning & John Carnell, are also the creators of this obscure kids title from 1990...The world of Wym.

There's a lack of info. about this on t'internet and in fact the only thing I could find about it is this blog link / youtube clip here which is the only evidence that I can prove all 6 issues of this title were actually produced!

Credits are as follows:
Creator / Artists = Andy Lanning
Creator / Writer = John Carnell
Co-creator / Artist = Anthony Williams
Lettering = Bambos Georgiou
Editor = Nancy Hazel
Managing editor = Floron Florenzo
Editorial Director = Etta Saunders

UPDATE (Mar '26) - I've now acquired a copy of issue #3 so I've added that to the covers gallery below.

Issue 1 seems easy to get hold of but all other issues are really hard to get hold of, I've picked up the only issues of issue 2 & 4 that I've ever seen.

I'm after issue 6 only.

Warhammer monthly comic - issue 81-86, cover artists guide

I never read Warhammer monthly back in the day and have only started picking it up in recent years - it's packed full of well-known (2000AD) creators and plenty of other not so well-known names. 

Anyway, a covers gallery is a good a way as any to act as an introduction to a comic so over the next few weeks I'll show you what the issues all look like.

Warhammer monthly compendiums - part 2

I've previously looked at Warhammer monthly comics here and here and here  without ever looking too much (yet!) at the various trade paperback collections that were published. Trust me, there's plenty of blog postings about those collections yet to come.

After the initial run of those collections in the early 2000s there was another run of reprints, this run were smaller in size (they're typically a bit larger than a traditional paperback book) and often featured complete reprints of strips (that previously had been serialised across 1 / 2 / 3 trade paperbacks).

The early trade paperbacks are a hard series to collect (partly because there are lots of titles) but these paperback compendiums seem even harder to collect. Anyway, I thought I'd start by just trying to see what is out there to collect.

So here's part two of my guide to collecting Warhammer paperbacks from 2004-6...  

Part one is here 

Kal Jerico - underhive bounty hunter (2006, paperback, ISBN 184416-2540)

Titan (2004, paperback, ISBN 184416-1234)

The call of chaos (2005, paperback ISBN 184416-1447)

Darkblade - Reign of blood (2005, paperback, ISBN 184416-2060)

Hellbrandt Grimm (2005, paperback, ISBN 184416-2079)

new Eagle unknown cover artists - part 1

Quiz time!

My comic reference spreadsheet listing the contents, artists, writers, story titles etc. of all the comics I have collected has a few gaps in it and I'm hoping that some of you good people out there will be able to help me fill in at least some of the blanks...

1). new Eagle #323, 28th May 1988 - signed "AW" - but who is that? Andrew Wildman (that's a guess based on his initials rather than his style)

This is now confirmed as Anthony Williams

2). this is just signed "Simon"

This is confirmed as Simon Harrison

3). This one feels like it should be really easy but somehow my brain just isn't connecting..
