I've updated my covers for the (rarer) 2nd Muppet Babies comic series that Marvel UK produced (in 1994). At least 3 issues & a special. But were there more?

A couple of vintage comics advertising aluminium signs are up for sale today. They look in great condition given their age - they can't have been outdoors, exposed to 100 years of sun & rain, very much. Nice!

It's a first time appearance on the blog for 'Hairy Dan' [who appeared in the Beano for its first 5 years]. A lovely piece of ephemera from ace ebay seller Ewan Brownlow.

'Puss in Boots' comic - both the pilot issues, one from 1969 & one from 1970. Despite 2 pilot issues it never made it into production.

I'm delighted to add 2 previously unknown (to me anyway) issues of 'Paul Temple' picture library (published by Micron) to my covers gallery. We now know this ran for 12 issues not the 10 I'd recorded briefly. Still a few gaps in the covers gallery so if you can help do let me know. I'd love to add most of these to my collection.

I've previously looked at publications that the Cartoon Museum in London produced BUT before there was a museum there was plenty of fundraising to do. Bonhams held at least 2 auctions (in 1995 & 1999) to raise funds for the Cartoon Art Trust.
