UPDATED: - Fusion covers

I'm grateful to Andrew Wolf for bringing these fanzine to my attention. He did so over on the "Fans of Alan Davis" Facebook page (here). I've not seen other covers for Fusion so if you can help me out with other images that'd be great. Andrew says 9 issues all with a print run of less than 200 copies.

UPDATE (24/09/26); now with covers for issues 8 & 9 added + a piece of interior art from issue #6 (thanks to friend of the blog Andrew Wolf - check out his Miracleman blog on Tumblr here)

UPDATE (21/07/26); now with covers for issues 1 & 3 added

SSI journal - 1982

I've looked before at all things to do with the SSI (Society of Strip Illustration) here and I like the newsletters they produced BUT these were produced in very low quantities so you stand virtually no chance of collecting a set. 

I've looked at some examples of the SSI journal for 1992 here and for other years I'm just going to collect images for the covers as and when they come up for sale on ebay. Over time we might end up with a full (??) set. So here's the start of a covers gallery for SSI journal for 1982...

Society of Strip Illustration journal 45 (April 1982)

at the time of typing this is available here

Society of Strip Illustration journal 46 (June 1982)

Stan Lee book signing - 1975

A look, for posterity, at this recent excellent item sold by (always interesting auction house) Excalibur Auctions (here). The hammer price was £110.

It's a photo album commemorating the Stan Lee book signing for Captain Britain launch. It was held on the Charing Cross Road in October 1975.

Captain Britain summer specials

I've looked before at Captain Britain merchandise (here) and I just wanted to highlight these 3 specials - especially the 3rd which I understand is particularly rare.

Captain Britain summer special, 1980, 40p

Captain Britain summer special, 1981, 45p

Captain Britain autumn special, 1992, £1.25

For more details look here where it says...

Several Captain Britain Specials have been published over the years, beginning with the 1980 Summer Special, which reprinted the lead strip from Captain Britain weekly #28-32, as well as some classic US-produced Black Knight and Doctor Strange strips. The 1981 Special reprinted a Spider-Man and Captain Britain team-up story from Super Spider-man and Captain Britain and the American-produced Marvel Team-Up #65-66, while a 1992 Autumn Special reprinted several installments of the Captain Britain series from Mighty World of Marvel Vol 2 in colour
