Shany Kane draws Street Sharks?

A query for the hive mind...is this cover of Street Sharks #2 drawn by Shaky Kane? Whaddya think?

UPDATE: I asked him - he said 'no'

I'd seen the cover before but only recently acquired a copy and suddenly the thought that Shaky Kane had been involved crossed my mind. The red button at the bottom of the image looks very Shaky to me! 

Street Sharks, issue #2, £1.25

2023 Bristol comic expo

I've looked at merchandise created for various comic conventions in the past and I just wanted to start a similar post for anything that I come across for the 2023 Bristol comic expo.

This is the first thing I've found but I understand that there was also a 'programme / brochure' produced for the expo - but I've yet to see this! 

Anyway, let me know know if there's anything I've missed!

The mercy giants & Brett Ewins

I'm indebted to friend of the blog Nevs Coleman for bringing this super obscure Brett Ewins comic, We think so loud,  to my attention. All these images were sourced from here - good luck adding this to your collection, it's super rare!

Lazy Frog #5 - Shaky Kane

I've looked before at adult humour comic Lazy Frog. Issue 1 & 2 are here and issue 4 is here. One of the most interesting thing about them is the involvement of artist Shaky Kane. I've no idea how long Lazy Frog lasted but here's issue 5 - again Shaky is involved - in fact he's the only credited artist.

Here's Lazy Frog #5 then...

Lazy Frog #1

A looooonng time ago on the blog (here to be precise) I looked at Shaky Kane's contribution to the 2 issues of 'Black star fiction library'. That contained an advert for Lazy Frog adult humour magazine...

Here's that advert for Black Star Fiction Library...

Here's the comic supplement in Lazy Frog

and some of the art within...

Art by Shaky Kane

Apart from Shaky's very distinctive style I don't recognise the other artists. However, the credits page list the cartoonists as...George Flint, Henry Flint and Michael Coulthard. I recognise the name Henry Flint from 2000AD but I don't know enough about his art style to be able to see if it's the same Henry Flint or just a co-incidence - anyone help me out here? To me the only possibilities are the Kooky Koala strip or the Queen Mum illustrations above

UPDATE: Henry Flint has confirmed his involvement in Lazy Frog
