Mondominium #3!!

 

Here's a selection of old Mondo covers for you... This is the cover of the first issue I read by one A.Davies. I don't have copies of #s1-5 and Lee didn't keep any, so if anyone seeing this has those issues please drop us a line, we'd love them back in the Mondo archive. We'll scan them then get them straight back to you. Other missing issues are #s 8, 9 and 10, #33, and #37 of Mondo's first run.

The Christmas 1993 issue was Mondo's first colour cover and featured the epic death of British Bulldog story, aping DC's Death of Superman which was running at the time. This issue also came with a free gift, as a lot of UK comics did at the time to boost sales. Usually stickers, bubblegum or plastic space spinner toys, here we had free tissues for mourners to have a good cry at the loss of the fallen hero! Art by Nick Raybould.
 

Issue 25 (August 1994) was by the late Hadyn Walker marked the start of his and Lee Davis' post apocalyptic adventure strip 'Garrison's Blade'

Another Mondo legend made his debut in Issue 41 in 1999. Known for his very precise line work cartoonist BJ Wilson had been around the small press scene since the 80s. His 'Iron Ed' story was serialised and quickly became the comic's go to strip with it's very English take on the 70s Heavy Metal style.'Iron Ed' and BJ are Mondo MUST HAVES. If you use Kindle unlimited you can read 'Iron Ed' in all it's glory here-

It's follow up 'Assault Suit Kevin' would come later. Personally speaking I think BJs amazing artwork would benefit from some colour. Perhaps that French/Moebius/Asterix etc style... Watch this space if you'd like to see something like that...

Woolley Jumper #4

It's time to get out that knitting, poor a glass of sherry, sit back and enjoy our fourth outing of John Woolley's superhero parody with 'Pea-Brained Nuts' Part One, originally published in #14 of Mondo from September of 1993. It was a 40 page issue that also featured British Bulldog by Lee Davis and Paul Knight, Darkness by Mark Yarwood, Fred Fortune by myself, six pages (!!) of the legendary Mailbag From Hell!, a Superman article by Lee, a one off strip, Decisions, Decisions by Tom Murphy and myself, Part Two of Engine Man by Matt Banwell and Chris Doughty, another article by Lee- this time about newspaper strip Axa that ran in The Sun from 1978-1985, and the Private Hell of Negative Man also by Matt Banwell and Chris Doughty. It was all wrapped up with a fantastic cover by Tom Carney who could out-Bisley Simon Bisley! and a cut out and keep Danny Baker mask on the back! You can see the cover on Mondo's new Twitter here-
