Always a pleasure.
I must admit I was surprised at the price as seemed rather extortionate for what it is!

not sure if David Roach will thank me for posting these early examples of his work from his comics fanzine Hellfire - but history demands I record this sort of stuff!

The 2nd run of 'Hero Turtles' comics that Fleetway produced (in 1993/94) are REALLY hard to track down. Here's my covers gallery for what you're after...

From 1990/91 here's the start of a covers gallery for Marvel UK's shortlived 'The best of The Real Ghostbusters' monthly. Any help filling in the gaps is much appreciated.

They were for a range of toys available from British Home Stores. Someone has a website devoted to them: https://explorer12.co.uk/ and has scans of all the books. The interior pages you posted are from a brochure; for the individual books Noble did the four covers but only provided interior art for the Polar Mission book. Some of the art in Ocean Survey looks like it might be by John Cooper.

More Dan Dare tat/merchandise that sounds great but looks, er, less great inside the box. Still in demand this stuff though.
