Wonderman -NOT the UK Golden Age character though!

There are certain UK comics I would like to see even if only as scans.

One of those is a comic titled Wonderman -not the Golden/Silver ages character. At a 1980s Westminster Comic Mart I picked up two copies and at one point put the carrier bag they were in down. Both were swiped.

So if anyone has scans or wants to donate a copy let me know!

Green Skies vol 3 Part 2 update

Well, I only managed to letter14 pp today.  I got slowed down by finding one page I scanned had been deleted so it had to be rescanned. The first chapter in this book also took longer than normal because of the amount of lettering and altering it to fit in tightly with the resrt of the book.

At about 80:15 hrs I just had burn out so stopped.

I also discovered today is Wednesday not Friday.

The whole book should be lettered by next week.

In the Victorian era, The Phantom Detective used his decades of occult study to help those in danger from these “things” and he paid the ultimate price…. ….

Yet he continues to help and to observe as best he can for now he is a true... 

PHANTOM DETECTIVE! 

From one of the UK's most under -rated comic creators, Ben R. Dilworth, comes new life breathed into and a new slant given to the adventures of the former mortal who has become one of the Watchers -forbidden to act even to save a life from supernatural forces.  Except "rules are there to be broken or at the very least stretched until you can see through them!"

The much anticipated collection from the co-creator of Peter Wisdom and artist of Mark Millar's The Shadowmen!
