Glasgow Comic Art Convention - 1991

I've looked before (here) at the 1990s incarnation of the Glasgow Comic Art Convention (GCAC) that ran from 1990-5. I've been collecting the convention programmes for a long time and this was the final one I needed! I was very pleased to pick this up recently and I'm highlighting just some of the interior art. Good luck tracking down your own copy

and here's a complete list of artists who created art for the souvenir programme

Speakout!

Here's an odd one for you, it's a yoof orientated magazine from Leeds Building Society (in 1988). I've highlighted issue 13 (thanks to Brandon Kapp on the '2000AD tat & chat' group on Facebook) for the Brian Bolland cover obviously...

Speakout #13, Summer 1988

Other issues don't have Bolland covers or indeed any comics related content at all. Here are a couple of examples.

Speakout #8, Spring 1987 1988

As the ebay seller says...

This was an unusual quarterly magazine produced by The Leeds Building Society for the 'YOOF' of 1987 - hopefully enticing them in as future savers. In style and content it is very derivative of Smash Hits and No1 but considering this was produced and printed in Leeds this was a passable effort in the Genre. This magazine was distributed in branches and at Colleges and was a freebie... To be fair the Leeds kept financial matters and advice out of the publication (apart from an Add on the back page).. The rest of the magazine's 30 pages was made up of very reasonable content with interviews, charts and letters from Readers.. Competently put together and graphically well ordered

Speakout #14, Autumn 1988

UPDATED: To help pass the time in the iso-cubes

I've looked at Comics calendars before (see here and here) but didn't realise there had ever been any Judge Dredd calendars before until a conversation about it popped up on the '2000AD & Judge Dredd tat and chat' facebook group.

I started looking for traditional 'wall' calendars for this post but I've decided to expand it to look at all types of calendars. All new material is in red.

So with thanks to Ian Anorak Hollingsworth (and ebay!) here we go...
