This post was due on Monday 1st September
but was delayed due to a health issue
Last month’s Dragon’s Claws competition certainly produced a bit of interest out there! It was by far the most popular in these monthly contests. It seems all these years later it’s still a fondly remembered comic a lot of you wanted to relive again. It was Yiu-Chung Lee from Buckinghamshire in England who ultimately had their name plucked out of the proverbial hat by correctly naming the ‘Claws’ dog, Scratch. (For the record, I was also accepting the name Scavenger originally have him, Lady Killer.) Thanks for the photo of your new comics in their new home too.
As popular as last month’s competition was, this month’s may be even more of a challenge for my inbox! Below are this month’s prizes for one lucky blog reader.
The Dragon’s Claws team carry over to this month’s prize in a crossover issue of Death’s Head, and I’m throwing in the hilarious #3 alongside it. Both issues are in superb condition, like they’ve just been brought back from the newsagent in 1988 and will come bagged and boarded as you see above. Death’s Head had a rather busy career back in the day across a multitude of Marvel UK comics before his own appeared, and this month’s question will quiz you on just such an appearance.
So, as usual you’ll have 14 days to scour the blog for the answer to the following question:
Q – Which God of Chaos did Death’s Head once take a psychic trip into the mind of?
Think you’ve got the answer? Then you should email it to me at oink.blog@icloud.com (all emails will be deleted after the winner has been selected, I don’t have anything to plug), or use the contact form you can find on the right-hand side of your desktop screen or under this post on mobile. Your entry must be with me by midnight on Friday 19th September 2025.
After this date I’ll contact the winner to ask for their postal address. Unfortunately, due to rising costs the competitions are only open to UK and Ireland readers. If you win I’ll ask if you could take a photo of you with your prize for inclusion in next month’s competition post. You don’t have to, but you do get to show off if you do.
If you weren’t already entering surely these brief glimpses into the issues I’m giving away will tempt you. You won’t want to miss out on your chance to grab two free copies of this utterly classic action-comedy comic. Don’t forget to check the blog on the 1st of each month to see what’s up for grabs. As a bit of a Preview for next month, I won’t Toy with you but it’ll be a perfect prize for October.
