UPDATED: Dan Dare the animated TV show - storyboards

An update to my original post (c\o John Freeman) who sent me these images from a recent ebay sale in the US showing paperwork relating to the production costs of the animated TV show. The paperwork shows that the series cost $2.5m to produce. The paperwork sold for £30.





All these images are taken from a recent eBay sale of storyboards from the Dan Dare animated TV series that aired in, what, 2001?

Happy new year (2000)!

As we enter the new year I thought of this limited edition print that DC Thomson produced for the year 2000.

Happy new year to all blog readers!


You can find all all other mention of The Beano on the blog here

UPDATED: Dumbass comics - Neill Cameron

I'm always happy to feature Neill Cameron the blog (see all previous entries here) and I was intrigued to come across these early works of his recently. A three issue series 'Dumbass comics' came out around the turn of the millennium. There was also a collected edition 'Absolute Dumbass'. 

The comics have rusty staples and are "just" photocopied pages - great for a nostalgia rush!

These are no longer available on Neill's webshop so I'm just recording their existence for posterity.

Dumbass comic #1
image not to hand - can you help?

Dumbass comic #2, £1.25, 2000
28 pages

Dumbass comic #3, £1.25, 2002
32 pages

The lead story in both issues features "Cleansing services: Special Ops" and there's talk in the back of Dumbass #2 of a 2nd issue of their own standalone comic not going ahead - that presumably means there was a successful first issue. One to look out for. 

Neill's brother James also contributed to these.

If anyone has a copy of issue 1 of Dumbass comics...I'd be delighted to see it, cheers!

UPDATE: friend of the bog James Cameron has supplied me with this image and message...I still can't find a copy of #1 [of Dumbass comics] but I did get Mum to scan the original. It's not perfect as she didn't want to take it out of the frame but it's something!

So here we go then, not the cover of issue #1 of Dumbass comics but instead the original art. I'll settle for that. Thanks to James's mum for her efforts. Plus James & Neill & Henry Flint, whose work adorns the cover.

UPDATED: Tom Paterson print

An unusual spot on eBay a while ago - here's a print by Tom Paterson

I'd love to know if there are other prints that Tom has produced over the years. I loved his work as a kid so I'm always delighted to find it in unusual places.

and now another print has come to light (c/o ebay seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/blondie72drinking - they have interesting stuff for sale so they're worth saving as a seller) - this time it's a Minnie the Minx print
