I love the Jerry Paris cover. Still have the comic it graced. I think it was possibly inked and coloured by Garry Leach whose name also appears on the parcels.

I’ve long wondered who painted that Spider-Man and snowman cover. Would love to know if it is Barry Kitson or not.

Thanks, Reuben. Thanks for mentioning Garry. He’s still sorely missed.

IIRC the Dredd & Snowman cover by Kev Walker was originally used on the Megazine, think I might have even commissioned it: http://www.2000ad.org/functions/cover.php?choice=4.06&Comic=megazine - no snow on the logo, obviously!

Thanks, David! It makes sense then that we must have reused the cover art from the Megazine for the card, rather than commissioning new artwork. Thanks for the heads up, and the link!
