The advert for UKCAC '86, the <b>United Kingdom Comic Art Convention</b> that took place in September 1986.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I remember this very well. It was only my third time as a guest. I've lost count of the number of conventions I've been to since. Back then, the annual UKCAC event was pretty much the only comic con in the UK so practically everyone in the industry would be there. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">1986 was a great year for comics. <b>Watchmen</b> and <b>The Dark Knight</b> were released, and <b>Oink!</b> had been launched. There was a positive vibe in the air and, as most of us were still relatively young, we were full of fresh ideas and optimism. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Although comic cons were few and far between back then, many of us would regularly meet up at the Westminster Comic Marts which I think took place every 6 or 8 weeks. They were very happy times and I'm glad I was part of that.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sadly, several of the names listed in the ad are no longer with us, but they're fondly remembered.

Here's <b>Lew Stringer's Comic Sampler,</b> a slim 20 page selection of a few of my highlights from over my 40 year career. You may have seen the strips before but now they're in a variety package featuring <i>Brickman</i>, <i>Combat Colin</i>, <i>Derek the Troll</i>, <i>Sgt.Shouty</i> and a few other examples of my comics work. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lLodSbQ9H90rVvGNWJWWennOORCF5bv1wBimXhQD3ZUBShW-kP4CniCQihtb2s0v_j4BBbIX8tReB-rvv5Ack5qQLNM229p3RrPbU4iQUr8iU6uWcHLWQ32LZieNmWIQcXFtG_SoBGFbwGutY06jAg8vhHmRt-fu15gMfFjEYoln_3pmtk64FU4ZtjhQ/s1134/IMG_20240229_184910.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1134" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lLodSbQ9H90rVvGNWJWWennOORCF5bv1wBimXhQD3ZUBShW-kP4CniCQihtb2s0v_j4BBbIX8tReB-rvv5Ack5qQLNM229p3RrPbU4iQUr8iU6uWcHLWQ32LZieNmWIQcXFtG_SoBGFbwGutY06jAg8vhHmRt-fu15gMfFjEYoln_3pmtk64FU4ZtjhQ/w400-h353/IMG_20240229_184910.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Why is the cover monochrome? Mostly to keep the costs down for this one-off special, but also I wanted to go "back to basics" and do an entirely black and white comic like I used to many years ago. I've only had 100 printed.

For example, in this episode of <i>Captain Wally</i> where the Hulk visits suburban England. It was published in <b>Spider-Man</b> weekly in 1985.<br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Captain Wally</i> was one of my first professional comic series and I had a blast. Is it canonical in the Marvel Universe? Well, I'd like to think so. I'm waiting for the MCU to announce a Captain Wally movie any day now. Or maybe when they've covered the zillion other characters. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">My original artwork for this story is part of my eBay listings this week.

remember Dez Skinn at the 1979 comic con in Birmingham announcing that
Marvel were about to publish <b>Doctor Who Weekly</b>, (which later became a
monthly), and here we are 45 years later with issue 600! I'm proud to be
one of its contributors these days with my <i>Daft Dimension</i> strip and
this celebratory issue will be in shops on Thursday! Don't miss this landmark edition! (And in case you were wondering, that cover <i>isn't </i>Photoshopped.
