UPDATED: The Dreamstone comic - London Editions

London Editions magazine from 1991, The Dreamstone, put together (issue 1 at least) by Glenn B Fleming & Brian M. Clarke. I don't have a full set sadly and think this title only ran to 6 issues. 

Interior art by Tim Perkins in issue 2, 3 & 4. Issue 1 is just screen-grabs for the titular cartoon series. Tim Perkins signature has survived on issues 4 & 6 (I think he drew the other covers too but these are unsigned).

Now updated with a cover for issue #3

I've got issues 1-4

The Dreamstone comic - issue 1

The Dreamstone comic - issue 2

The Dreamstone comic - issue 3

The Dreamstone comic - issue 4

The Dreamstone comic - issue 5

The Dreamstone comic - issue 6

and there's an annual as well

Comics festival 2000 - part 2

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
And then my first look at the 2004 charity deck of trump cards here and part two is here

Comics festival 2004 calendar is here

And now the A2 leaflet /programme for the Comics 2000 festival has been found and the 'deck of cards' theme is present, but just in terms of illustrations provided for the programme. So without further ado let's see who's in here...Part 1 was here and now on with part 2...

Ok, so here we have art (in descending order) by Sean Phillips, Charlie Adlard, Neil Googe (drawing Bazooka Jules), Roger Langridge (centred, Doctors Who) Marc Laming draws 2 people in coats, Methaphrog (yellow person - this is actually Martin Nitram from their first comic series Strange weather lately), Hunt Emerson draws his characters and Terry Wiley draws a King Kong themed image. 

and again from top to bottom...

Shaun Bryan draws Octobriana, Staz Johnson draws Bat-women, Simon Perrins draws a man with a colourful coat, John Higgins draws Razorjack (centre, black & white image), Steve Yeowell draws daffodils, George draws Judge Dredd, Tim Perkins draws a warrior nun, Al Davison draws a man with a pendant and Andrew Livesey draws a superhero all in blue.

Thanks to Simon Miller for allowing me to share this with you all...

David Pugh - convention artwork, part 2

Following on from part 1 of my guide to David Pugh's contributions to comic art conventions programmes (here), which itself followed on from my interview with David (here), here's part 2...

United Kingdom Comic Art Convention (UKCAC) - 1993. Dan Dare, Brill and Gunsel*

*Brill and Gunsel are from 'The last planet' comic by Simon Davies & David Pugh

Marvel UK - Captain Planet & the planeteers

Prompted by a question on a facebook group together I've been inspired to look into the 'Captain Planet and the planeteers' comic...I don't have any copies myself so I've scoured t'internet for the images below...Marvel US put out a 12-issue series but for Marvel UK I've only got up to issue 4 so far - were there more? Let me know! 


Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 1, cover dated 12th October 1991

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 2, cover dated 26th October 1991

Looks like Mario Capaldi on cover art duties 

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 3, cover dated 9th November 1991
cover not to hand

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 4, cover dated 23rd November 1991

Looks like Mario Capaldi on cover art duties

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, holiday special

Hmmm, where did they get that idea for a cover from?

And Tim Perkins worked on the annual (and he also worked on a colouring book and the colouring & activity book)

I posted the above in a Facebook group and John Michael Burns (renowned colourist and nephew of artist John M Burns) was kind enought to make a comment on the post...
