Haven't seen much of Stapleton's work before. Have you?

I've never heard of him before. The faces of the men in Missing Man remind me of someone else's work but I can't remember who's it is.

I like those, Pete. They're suitably shadowy and mysterious.

I like them too; there's no end to the treasures in the Cave. I think I would have loved Chucklers' Weekly.

I couldn't agree more Kate Mary - it certainly keeps me out of trouble.
The work Tony has put into compiling it is simply phenomenal!

I have never even heard of this illustrator. I think the pictures are atmospheric but not very fatty like ! He looks too old. I must check them out.
You'll never wear your own brains out, Mr. Goon - you don't use them enough !
