Tom Thug and... Nemesis the Warlock! This weeks art auction

There are a diverse pair of original art items on my auction listings this week. One of my remaining Tom Thug pages from Oink! (specifically No.46 from 1988) and a fantastic cover by Kevin O'Neill featuring Nemesis the Warlock!

Kev drew this for the covers of my fanzine Fantasy Express back in 1983. I've been reluctant to sell it but I'm afraid needs must. It truly is a fantastic piece of artwork as you can see. Twenty percent of the sale will go to Cancer Research UK. 

You'll find the listing and more detailed photos at this link:

The Tom Thug page by me also features a mini strip at the bottom starring Tom's Cat Satan. Poor old Satan was never mentioned once Tom Thug moved over to the more traditional Buster comic, but I did put him in the background now and then so readers would know he was safe and well. (And as far as I'm concerned, pets in humour comics never die, so he's still around somewhere.) 

You can see the listing and more detailed photos for this Tom Thug page at this link. Auction starts at £60 or Buy It Now for £160:

There have already been several generous bids on the Nemesis artwork, but (as of time of writing) nothing on the Tom Thug page yet so you could be in with a chance. Bidding on both items ends on Sunday 1st September. Thanks for your support!
