Just some highlights from the recent update to the BritComicsArt website (which can be found here - I suggest subscribing to their e-mail updates too)...

A Brian Bolland piece from his early work on Powerman comic in the 1970s. This was £300 I think.


A Cam Kennedy Fighting Mann page from Battle issue #295 - yours for £500

A Robin Smith cover for 2000AD - yours for £3,000

These 3 cover roughs were (I think!) £300 each
