One of the first to be released will be the Cor!! Buster Easter Special. A second outing for the successful humour special published last year. It'll be packed with old favourites given a new spin, and I'm very pleased to say that I'll be drawing a three page Buster and Delbert strip written by John Freeman
I was one of the original artists in Buster comic (on Tom Thug) throughout the late 1980s until it's end in 1999 so it's a thrill to draw the title character. I'm excited to be following in the footsteps of such great artists as Bill Titcombe (the first artist of Buster in 1960), Angel Nadal, Reg Parlett, Tom Paterson, Jimmy Hansen and many more! My version will try to capture the essence of all the previous styles but will essentially be my own. A few preliminary sketches accompany this article.
The Cor!! Buster Easter Special will go on sale in early April 2020. I'll post more news about it in the future!

I'm loving this version of Buster. There were a few iterations along the way that were good, but for me just weren't 'right'. This one definitely catches the essence of the Buster of old.
Thanks Richard. Much appreciated!
I have to say Kid Kong looks psychotic.
The last Cor!!Buster special was wonderful, so I'll be first in line for this one, too.
Pleased to hear you enjoyed it.
Why not publish my other comment you suppressed on your other blog. What you trying to conceal. It doesn't fit your description of it so let the readers judge for themselves.
What the heck are you talking about? I published all three comments you submitted, then blocked all anonymous comments. I didn't suppress anything. Your straw man arguments and unfounded accusations are there for people to see. Haven't you got anything better to do than troll blogs?
