Epic - an anthology, by Atomeka

A couple of recent purchases (and the death of Garry Leach) has spurred me on to look at Atomeka Press. A look at the Grand Comics database (here) is helpful (thanks for the images!) but incomplete. So, I thought I'd try and rustle up my own complete (?) list of Atomeka publications.

I've looked at the original A1 series (from 1989) here

Now, thanks to friend of the blog Reuben Willmott we can look at some more Atomeka titles...

Epic comics - an anthology, Atomeka Press, 1992, book one - cover art by Dave McKean

Epic comics - an anthology, Atomeka Press, 1992, book two - cover art by Dave Dorman

Epic comics - an anthology, Atomeka Press, 1992, book three - cover art by Doug Braithwaite

Epic comics - an anthology, Atomeka Press, 1992, book four - cover art by Colin MacNeill

Interior art contributors include John M Burns, William Simpson & D'Israeli.

All in all, sounds well worth looking out for.

UPDATED: Price guide updates

I've looked before (here) at British versions of comic price guides. My previous post looked at the earliest guides that were published, today it's a look at two comic price 'magazines'.

Both were published by Duncan McAlpine as 'interim' publications in between his annual price guides.

I've known about the first update magazine (below) for a long time but I'd never even seen a copy until one popped up on ebay the other day.

Cover art is by David Braysher (coloured by Bryan Marks) - A4 sized, full colour cover but black & white interior pages. For your £1.50 you get 64 pages of updated price for comics, 20 pages of adverts, commentary from comic shop owners on the state of the market and a long list of first appearances. From the peak of the comic speculator boom you can re-visit such titles as Harbinger #1 and ask yourself why is was worth £65 at the time (having been worth £3 the year before).

The 2nd (and final) version of the price guide update looks like this...

Cover art is by Dave Dorman. Same sort of format as before but a few pages of colour art inside, a guide to grading comics and a Comic Speculator News section.

There's also an interesting advert on page 118...

...for signed & hand-stamped plus numbered editions of the price guides. I've never seen any of these before - can anyone share any images etc. of what these editions look like?  

OK, so I've spotted a "signed and hand-stamped" edition of price guide #1

...so I'm still looking for examples of the "signed and numbered" versions of the guides. 

This is for sale here if you're interested
