Sherlock Holmes - a signing!

Just a reminder that this signing is happening this afternoon - I can't make it myself but have fun if you're going.

Just a quick shout out for the first great comic signing of the year at Gosh comics. 

It's a great opportunity to meet Frazer Irving, Barry Kitson & Joel Meadows. The image below is by Frazer,

After Image fanzine

I'm grateful to friend of the blog Ewan Brownlow for today's covers gallery. This is a fanzine that I've always liked the look of but only have one issue of (#3). For fellow fanzine collectors then this is what you're looking for.

Note that Lew Stringer also produced a fanzine called After Image which these issues are not to be confused with. 

No.1 and 2 are super rare and had no distribution beyond ACE

No.3 was given out free at UKCAC 1987

4, 5, 6 & 7 were sold nationally in comic shops
