Gronk sewing pattern


Really strange and unique item. From the pages of Strontium Dog comes the Gronk sewing pattern. The pattern was a send away for item in Womans Realm back in the late seventies early eighties. It cost 65p at the time.





 


Dredd 3D Props



Ma ma hostage rope "Gag" prop. Purchased from Propstore during their Dredd ebay auctions on ebay Jan/Feb 2013.


___________________________________________________________



Second auction i was lucky enough to win was the costume worn by the front passenger (Andie Mngandi) of the van chase in the begining of the film. This lot consisted of Jeans, belt, vest top, ring, necklace and oddly a pair of socks.





The necklace has a joker card printed on a piece of thin metal with a leather strap.


Zenith & Strontium Dog vintage T-shirts



Just in. Two fantastic shirts from the eighties. First off is Johnny Alpha the Strontium Dog from 1984. Secondly one of the very few pieces of merchandise produced for Zenith from 1988. The Strontium Dog one i had seen listed in the Forbidden Planet catalogue from the time. I have never seen the Zenith shirt advertised but i was aware it existed.



IDW Dredd # 1


November 21 2013 saw the first Judge Dredd issue from IDW. To torment collectors beyond belief they thought to bring out 25 variant covers. Nineteen of these were comic shop varaints.

The "Dredd kicking the door" shop variant covers were limited to 500 each. The logo of the shop placed on the door. Only three shops in the UK mainland invested in these. All the variants were advertised on the back of the comic with their websites. I know what your thinking, that makes things alot easier then. It took 3 months of ignored emails, phone calls around the world and a hell of alot in shipping costs to get them all.



This variant drawn by Charles Paul Wilson III for the Eastern Mass Comic Con. Limited to 500.

The reverse of the comic con variant. The idea being to grab a sketch at the venue.

 These two variants are from Jetpack comics and were limited to 250.



The reverse of the three Jetpack variants showing classic Dredd heads.


Carlos Ezquerra provided one of the covers. John Wagner kindly signed my copy at the London Super Comic Con. The variant ratio for this is 1:25


Subscription Dredd badge variant.



Standard covers A through D.

2000ad Promotional T-Shirt

 
Promotional 2000ad T-Shirt

First post of my new blog is this beauty. A promotional t-shirt worn by two lovely ladies at the "London Super Comic Con" on the 23/24th February 2013.


Only the two t-shirts made as far as im aware in sizes small and medium. Would be great if it were put into production in sensible sizes (xl & xxl).
