“Odd Job Daleks” trundle to eBay in new comic art sale from Lew Stringer

By John Freeman on February 16, 2020

Beano and Doctor Who cartoonist Lew Stringer is selling off some of his original art, including one of his “Daft Dimension” strips for Doctor Who Magazine.

Daft Dimension – “Odd-Job Daleks” by Lew Stringer (2018)

The strip, featuring the “Odd-Job Daleks“, was published in 2018, surely ideal for anyone’s smallest room, perhaps, and it’s being offered through auction site eBay by Lew himself, who, among other projects, has recently been busy working on a new strip for this year’s Cor!! Buster Special, on sale in April.

Also on offer is a rare Combat Colin/Robo Capers team up from Marvel UK’s Transformers No.200 (1989), an early Tom Thug that includes the very first Pete and his Pimple strip (Oink!, 1986), and a smashing two page “Team Toxic” story from TOXIC (2019).

Don’t forget, either, that his Combat Colin, Pedantic Stan and other comics are also available from his official web site.
