Mike Noble - Look-in

I've started (thanks to friend of the blog Bill Storie) showcasing just some of the art of Mike Noble. I've grouped together the images into a number of 'themes'...

Captain Scarlet was here

Look and Learn was here

and now we have Look-in...

On the buses - a Look-In special

I'm just doing some checking to see if this is a legitimate reprint or something a little more, er, ed-hoc shall we say?

It's available to pre-order here and ships on the 20th April apparently.

As you can see from the exchange below this is, at the time of typing, an un-authorised reprint. Let's hope they get it authorised!
