I think the first one is a Skid Solo story as that is definitely Sandy James' work who went on to draw so much of Johnny Cougar.

Welcome to the Funhouse Chalky.

The Art of Mike Dorey
The Art of Ian Kennedy
The Art of Ron Smith
The Art of Jim Watson
The Art of Jeff Bevan

Just click on the links to see some great art.

Thanks for the heads up David. I have just watched it and laughed out loud when I saw that there was a tactical deployment of a bookmark to cover up a certain character on the Beano masthead.

Do we have a place for the June and School Friend Picture Library Holiday Special?

And welcome back Helen aka Helsbels.

Fear not good reader, your friendly neighbourhood stalker... er, no I mean superfan. Definitely no stalking involved...

I have spoken to the great and the good within those walls and I have been assured that it's a tidy up of social media and that the Spellbound download will be back in the New Year.

This is a subject that I fiercely resisted getting involved in, but thanks to the persistence of Paw Broon, I got interested despite myself. Stephen has long posited that there is some connection between all the small Picture Libraries. So I have kept digging and digging and this is what I have foun...

I am going to be speaking to Jimmy Glen soon and I hope to arrange an interview with him. Does anyone have any questions they would like to add in?
