Lew Stringer Comics: Remember this cover?

Remember this cover?

I always felt privileged when Tom Thug took over the cover spot on Buster comic. By the 1990s he'd proven to be almost as popular as the title star himself, so the editor gave me the opportunity of doing three or four covers. A rare honour.

Anyway, I did this cover for Buster dated 19th August 1994... and I'm currently selling the original artwork! The auction includes this front cover plus page two of the story that completes it. Bidding ends this Sunday so if you're interested in owning the artwork here's the link...
