Powerman #17 - Gibbons, Bradbury & Ezquerra

I've looked at Powerman before (here) and I've tried to gather all the images I can find of this rare Nigerian comic by Brian Bolland and Dave Gibbons.

Brian recently posted up just the covers of his Powerman comics so I'm going to collate just the covers here (and hopefully at some point I'll be add further detail to the post, but for now it's just the cover)

The Valiant book of mystery and magic, 1976

On my Summer holiday I finally acquired a copy of 'The Valiant book of mystery & magic, 1976'. I'd come across this on ebay before and had high hopes for the content but my efforts to acquire a copy had been thwarted as the book was often priced out of my price rage. Grrr.

Anyway, a copy finally acquired and I was delighted to see that the annual has full author / illustrator credits throughout - result! So here's what you can look for
