Animated Comic Covers - Beano Book 1962

Animated Comic Book Covers

I've found a new hobby - animating old comic book covers. (This took so much work it may be the only one I do but, hey, I enjoyed it so let's see what happens).

Dapol Dr Who product catalogue 2000

Discovered this in a box of magazines. I remember that visit to the Dapol factory in Wales. A long drive from Rhyl through country roads to the factory and the Dr Who exhibition that was next door.

How T' Make It As A Rockstar

Tucked away among my old albums I found this gem from 1977. Tony Benyon's 36 page guide to becoming a Rockstar. Take note kids, this was the only way you could make it in the days before X Factor!

T-Shirts and Sweatshirts

Over the years the I, and the family, have collected many shirts from gigs and other sources. A recent sort out unearthed this lot of forgotten gems. For some unknown reason they don't fit anymore (and some of them were in a pretty dodgy state) so it's time to store them away in a safer environment.
Does anyone out there remember any of these?

 Although the date on the shirt says 1984 it's actually from the 1980 tour (Mr Gabriel does wacky things like that).

 Again the date is off. Playtime 1988 occurred in 1983.

This shirt was from the Genesis "Lamb Lies Down" tour purchased in the Birmingham Hippodrome 2nd May 1975. The first gig I ever went to.

Mighty World Of Marvel Poster

Back in December 1972 issue 10 of the Mighty World Of Marvel previewed the poster that was available to all readers willing to cut their comics up and send in the tokens.

There was no way I was cutting up those comics and I couldn't afford to buy two copies so the only solution was to draw my own version.

I think it came out quite well!
I also did my own version of two other mini posters that the comic featured…

Take a look at 'Kid' Robson's blog for more information on The Mighty World Of Marvel comics (thanks Kid for prompting me to get in the loft and find these things).
