Here's one for future collectors...a listing of all the Kickstarter rewards that were available with the 'Roxy' campaign that Rebellion ran last year. Good luck hunting these down future comic fans.

Here's a rare piece of comics merchandise featuring 'Jane' (of the Daily Mirror). A comic strip made into a jigsaw.

Another piece of vintage comics merchandise - in fact it's a companion piece to the Jane jigsaw - yes, it's a Garth jigsaw! Rare.

More rare Jane merchandise - this time it's a calendar from 1947 (a different calendar to one I'd blogged about previously). The art, by Norman Pett, is not quite as risqué as usual.

The War Office wants you! Recruiting comic from back in the day (when you could brag about shooting a tiger & a rhino as part of active service).
