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.

Sleeze Brothers - Epic comics

I've looked before (here) at the very obscure World of Wym title that was published in 1990. Somehow at the time I forgot to mention the title which the Wym creators are most famous for - yes it's the Sleeze Brothers. A loving nod to the blues brothers? I think so. Lots of scifi silliness here, well worth checking out.

All for sale right here (& in other places too but this is where I got most of the images from)
