2004 - charity deck of trump cards, part 1

I've previously looked at the great spin-off 'decks of cards' that Kev Sutherland put together for the comics festivals he ran in the early '00s. So far I've looked at... 

The (2001) hearts suit of cards is here
The (2001) diamonds suit of cards is here
The (2001) clubs suit of cards is here
The (2001) spades suit of cards is here

He then repeated the exercise in 2003... 
Part 1 of the 2003 deck of cards is here
Part 2 of the 2003 deck of cards is here
Part 3 of the 2003 deck of cards is here

And the 2003 London (winter) comics festival here
And then some extra items here
And then the cards from the 2003 London (winter) comics festival here

A number of these images have been provided thanks to friend of the blog Simon Miller. One of the image he sent was the one below showing his collection of the cards.

The image on the right was of interest because it gave me the best 'evidence' that a final deck of cards existed. I'd previously been alerted to its existence by friend of the blog Ewan Brownlow, he'd provided me with the images below 

Not a bad start but not it left a lot of cards to find! Luckily Simon has filled in all the gaps in one fell swoop :) So here's part 1 of my look at the 2004 Bristol charity deck of trump cards... 

Inferno! monthly - covers guide part 4 (of 6)

"Inferno!" magazine was a mainly text based US-comic sized publication that ran monthly from 1997 for about 4 years (there was an issue 0 in White Dwarf 210 and then 46 numbered issues). The focus was, as it said, tales of fantasy & adventure (in the Warhammer (40k) universe. 

I didn't buy this at the time but I've collected most of the run now based on the fact that, apart from the fantastic covers, there is some comic contents (albeit limited).

Anyway, I thought I'd share the covers with you as some of the artists are well-known and some of them deserve to be better known! Anyway without further delay here's today's selection...
