COMBAT COLIN issues 2 and 3 are available again!

Published a few years ago, I've just put issues 2 and 3 of COMBAT COLIN for sale on eBay. They are in brand new unread condition, and both signed by me (Lew Stringer).

Each comic has 40 pages including covers. Black and white interiors with full colour covers on quality paper. Collecting the Combat Colin strips I did for Marvel UK's TRANSFORMERS comics in the late 1980s.

Most of the strips have been scanned directly from my original artwork, and I've added dates to the foot of every strip so you know where and when it first appeared.


No.2 has 40 pages packed with classic Combat Colin strips from the late 1980s. This issue starts with the ones when The Transformers and Action Force merged into one comic, and features over 70 half page strips running from February 1988 to well into 1989.


You'll see Combat Colin and his sidekick Semi-Automatic Steve encounter villains such as Madprof and Mr.Magno for the first time, plus the return of the evil Aunt Arctic of the Antarctic, the secret of the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot, the introduction of the Giggly Sisters and much more!

Combat Colin No.3 is another 40 page issue. It reprints all the Combat Colin strips that originally appeared in Marvel UK's Transformers comic from July 1989 to February 1990.
 


This issue reaches the era of Combat Colin stories where the strip really hit its stride, becoming even more fantastic in its themes with battles against monsters and aliens. It sees the introduction of The Gunge, The Brain, The Amazing Dave, and more, explains how the Atomic Underpants work, sees Colin trapped in The Place of No Return, and ends with an adventure on Mars! Fast-paced daft adventures for all ages.


The comics will be bagged and boarded and packaged in a card backed envelope for protection.

Each issue is also available separately.

Would you be offended if I coloured them in with me felt tips? Like I used to colour in my POW!comics!

Ha! Feel free! Hey, I used to colour in some panels in Pow too! Usually the Spider-Man strips, with heavy felt tips that soaked through to the other side.
