Back in 1988 when Oink! switched from fortnightly to a weekly frequency, I was asked to come up with some cover ideas for the comic. I think I drew four or five covers in total. I tried to make them simple, striking (and hopefully funny!) such as the Tom Thug one shown here.
The original artwork for this cover is up on eBay right now, along with a Suicidal Syd illustration from a Christmas Viz.
The Oink! cover is full colour on Bristol Board, and comes complete with the acetate overlay which has the logo attached, and the tissue paper overlay giving instructions to the printer. Production methods that are no longer used in our age of Photoshop and Illustrator! (See the link below for more photographs.)
