Last month I told you how August’s competition for a couple of issues of Dragon’s Claws had been the most popular yet and how I expected September’s to be likewise. Well, I received almost double the amount of entries again! Death’s Head is still rather popular it seems, yes? We know the characters from the comic he spun off and, apart from one or two of you, you all correctly answered the question of which God of Chaos did Death’s Head once take a psychic trip into the mind of. It was, of course, Unicron in the pages of Transformers.
Congratulations to Andy Senyszyn from Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, seen here looking ever-so-slightly pleased with himself. Andy obviously knows his chaotic gods. But who will know the answer to this month’s specially-themed competition?
Last month I promised you that as a ‘Preview’ for this month’s competition I wouldn’t ‘Toy’ with you when it came to having the perfect prize for Hallowe’en. So here it is, October’s giveaway.
It may have been a short-lived comic but Super Naturals was quality! This rare 16-page preview edition contains the origin of the characters in a suitably atmospheric tale set on the release date of #1, which just happened to be 31st October 1987. There are also a handful of brilliant marketing mini-posters for the toy range, a light-hearted Ghostlings tale and more. The comic is in as-new condition and could be yours in time for the spooky season.
All you have to do is answer the following question, which may require you to scour the blog for the name of the toy company if you don’t already know it:
Q – The toy manufacturer of Super Naturals was famous for producing toys of which type of vehicle?
You have 14 days to enter, so if (you think) you’ve got the answer you can either email it to me at oink.blog@icloud.com (all emails will be deleted after the winner has been selected), 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 Tuesday 14th October 2025.
After this date I’ll contact the winner to ask for their postal address. Unfortunately, due to rising costs the competitions are open to UK and Ireland readers only. 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.
This is a little gem of a comic to get your hands on. Just don’t blame me if you then find yourself on eBay looking for the other issues! The next competition will be here on 1st November, just a day after the Hallowe’en festivities and it’ll continue the theme, albeit on a more humorous note. There’ll be six issues of a comic to be given away, make sure you Bust a gut to get back here on that day so you don’t miss out.
