Ka-Boom - the art of creating comics (part 3)

Currently running at the Story Museum in Oxford is "Ka-Boom - the art of creating comics" - details here. There's plenty of original art featured in the exhibition. 

I showed an initial selection here
A second selection here here

And here's some more...
Hot-Shot Hamish art from a 1980 issue of Tiger

17th August 1996 Dennis the Menace cover for the Beano by David Sutherland 


more Dennis the Menace art from the Beano - dated 17th August 1996 - art by David Sutherland


2000AD covers by John Higgins

Billy's Boots artwork - on the caption this is credite to John Gillatt - but it looks much more like the work of Tom Kerr to me. Intriguingly there's a (c)2001 on it - where was Billy's Boots being printed / originated in 2001??

and some Jamie Smart art to finish off

UPDATED: Beano characters 'In flight fun' with Airtours

I'm always delighted / intrigued to spot advertisers using comics as a medium and I spotted these two comics on ebay recently (so apologies for the quality of some of the images). I'd not come across 'In flight fun' before so I don't know if it just features Beano characters in these 2 issues or even if there were any subsequent issues. Any help gladly received!

Updates are in red, below...

In flight fun (Airtours) - issue 1





In flight fun (Airtours) - issue 2


In flight fun (Airtours) - issue 3


I've now found (here) a copy of issue 4
cover art by Robert Nixon

In flight fun (Airtours) - issue 5

In flight fun (Airtours) - issue 6
