Comics UK

It's one of those sleepless early Saturday mornings and my over-active brain was dwelling on the "My Ideal Dandy" topic on the Dandy sub-forum and thought to myself: "Why limit it to The Dandy? Why not a comic featuring strips from any other comic, from any publisher, from any era?"

But to make it even more different, let's make it a dream comic that we all add our suggestions to. Just add a strip to the list with a proposed name for the comic.

So I will start and because I am first, I also suggest how the front cover should be.

Front Page: A painted cover featuring a character from within by a guest artist.
Page 2-3: Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future (Tully/Pugh)

Proposed name for the comic: Vulture.

Just to get the ball rolling, I will add one more strip and name suggestion.

Page 2-3: Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future (Tully/Pugh)
Page 4-5: Black Bob (Prout)

Proposed name for the comic: Raven.

I hope you get the idea.

Not a fan of Black Bob but here goes.
