Can I bear to get rid of 1978’s Holmes & Yoyo Annual? Because how often do you get to own an annual with what’s quite possibly the worst artwork ever seen in a UK hardback holiday special?

Original art by Mark Buckingham featuring Marvelman, for 2016’s London Super Comic Convention booklet.

(Or “Miracleman”. That’s fine. You can say tomato etc etc)

Original art by Michel Blanc-Dumont featuring Young Blueberry, from 2001.

Anthony Maitland’s covers for the 1972 Puffin Books edition of John Gordon’s “The Giant Under The Snow”. I wish I’d come across this as a nipper. What a fabulously shiversome cover it is.

Stan Sakai’s original art - splendid as absolutely always - for the hardback & softback editions of his “Space Usagi” series from 1998.

Every day I’m going to take a comics book more or less at random from the shelf & make friends with it again. Today it’s Raymond Briggs' "When The Wind Blows" from 1982. One of the great graphic novels, I feel perfectly safe in saying.

Carlos Meglia’s original cover painting featuring Superman for 2003’s El Historietista #3. It’s not Curt Swan’s Man of Steel, I’ll give you, or, indeed, “mine”, but it radiates such exuberance & conviction. Let a thousand flowers bloom etc etc.

File under head canon :) Several Blackhawk portrait sketches by Cooke do underscore the fiercer aspects of his nature.

Michael Cho’s retro-wonderful cover for 2016’s The Flash: The Silver Age Vol. 1.

Original 1974 Star Trek fan art by John Byrne featuring the USS Enterprise, as appeared in The Collector #29.
