David Roach always finds some incredible artists in his role as a comics historian… case in point:

“More Jane Bond original art from my collection. By this point (episode 31) Tina had merged with Princess to become Princess Tina, though Jane Bond survived the merger and ran for another couple of years, all drawn by the brilliant Michael Hubbard. Later episodes were rendered entirely in wash, but at this point only the first panel was, though for this episode Hubbard pretty much painted it in colour, even though it was only printed in black and white.”
