National Comic Book Day

Apparently it's National Comic Book Day, a celebration that began in America but is now recognised worldwide.  Here's a quick compilation of fragments of panels from various strips I've done over the past 38 years that I hope have cheered people up along the way. Thanks to all of you who have supported my work over the years.

if it's worldwide, doesn't that mean it's International? and isn't it just a rubbish version of Free Comic book day where they release 'free' mini-issues or reprints, or sometimes the odd new issue in order to raise awareness because... some people aren't aware of comic books?

Well done Ryan! The one you weren't sure of is part of a colouring spread for Know How! The Captain Wally pic is from The Spider-Man Comic not Secret Wars, but you did great! Thanks for taking the time to do that.

Ah, I wondered if it was something like Know how, wasn't too sure, and yeah.. Macho Man was Secret Wars not Captain Wally (and Snail Man).. My mistake ^_^

and this is a nice fun thing to do ^_^
