This May, at the All profits from sales of the magazine and auctions of the original art will go to the Trinity Hospice Charity. www.trinityhospice.org.uk/services/index.html Just 1 Page is a
collaboration of artists and writers from the whole range of the British
comics community. Each contributor sends just one page featuring a character
with a connection to the theme – this year it was British comics. The magazine contains
pin-ups, strips and text articles. Covering the whole spectrum - from Minnie
the Minx to Modesty Blaise, from Jack Staff to John Constantine, from Judge
Dredd to Fungus the Bogeyman, from Rupert the Bear to Promethea, from Dennis
the Menace to Halo Jones, from Alan Moore to Andy Capp, J1P2
costs FIVE POUNDS for a 72 page magazine, and you can be sure that at least
two pounds from every copy will go to the charity. (Once the printing costs
have been covered, even more of your fiver will go to the charity.) Pros who have donated
original art include Jock, Al Davison, Charlie Adlard, Gary Northfield, Paul
J Holden, Steve Pugh, Paul Ridgon, Peter Gross, Mike Hawthorne, Dave Windett,
Gary Spencer Millidge, Trevor Hairsine, Len O’Grady, Adi Tantimedh, and Hunt

contributed text or otherwise include Leo Baxendale (who has given a one page preview of his
