Lawless 2026 - part 2

As ever there's SO much going on at Lawless convention that it's hard to try and take it all in, however I did manage to take a few photographs this year. I've grouped them together thematically and hopefully they'll bring back pleasant memories or inspire you to go to Lawless 2027 (being held on the 15th and 16th May 2027).

First up is Steve Dillon (t-shirts & art) here

Next up is just some of the original comic art that was on sale...

Maxwell the magic cat, volume 3

The four slim reprint volumes (published by Acme press) of Alan Moore's Maxwell the magic cat newspaper strips are surely high on the wants list of any Moore aficionado. Volumes 1 and 2 seem a little easier to get hold of than volumes 3 and 4 but I've long been more interested in volumes 3&4 as I knew they had Maxwell work by other artists in.

Below we have the artistic highlights of volume 3 - the original art of these images (along with those in volume 4) were all auctioned off at UKCAC87 for charity.

UPDATED: Jurassic Park - Dark Horse International, 1993/4

I've found the first 8 issues, just another 8 to go! Images are mostly taken from ebay, but some are from the Grand Comics Database and some from Phil Boyce's excellent look at this comic - read all about it here.
