Lew Stringer Comics: When Titans Clash!

When Titans Clash!

American comics have often made a big deal of their characters interacting with each other but it's something that's been going on in British comics for a long, long time, right back to the 1930s at least. Back in 1987 I had my two Oink! characters meet for the first time. Tom Thug encountering Pete and his Pimple!

They met again a few times after that, but this is their very first encounter from Oink! No.34. These photos are from the original artwork which I have for sale on eBay at present if you're interested. (Click on the photos to see them larger.) Bidding ends on Sunday:
