The Most Precious
It's hypnotic to see you on stage, how every movement is so precise and flows in continuation with their predecessors, how each note hangs in the air for just the right amount of time before you move on to the next one. The energy sizzling through your body while you dance, the emotion that flows in your veins while you sing, the love that pours through every word of the lyrics, the passion that completely consumes you while you perform, the adrenaline pumping throughout your body before every show. But perhaps, those eye smiles and fluffy rice cake cheeks act as a mask, concealing all the hurt and criticism, concealing the vulnerable, scared side that lies beneath. Maybe, it is that part which makes him not love his own skin, the part which causes an exuberant amount of self-loath upon making the simplest of mistakes and the part which he feels is to be well hidden from ARMYs. He lets those gruelling black spells of rain damage his own body, not realizing that we’ll always act as the yellow umbrella protecting him from all evil.
Dear ChimChim, Always remember that you don’t have to change yourself for others because you think that you are not good enough because you are more than just enough, You are PERFECT. You’ll indeed one day be the brightest of the countless stars in the sky, reminding everyone just how important it is to love yourself. And most importantly you will never ever be forgotten and will fondly remembered as our Precious Mochi

Eagle and Scream! No. 134, dated 13 October 1984. Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future cover by Ian Kennedy. Treasury of British Comics | The Dan Dare Corporation.
A Marvel Masterwork Pin-Up - Captain Britain. As far as I am aware this image initially appeared in the first issue of Cap's Marvel UK weekly (cover dated 13 October 1976) but may have been used for promotional purposes beforehand. I think it would have been ideal as the cover for that first issue but, for whatever reason, they didn't use it.
It did make the cover, almost three years later, for Hulk Comic No. 31, dated 3 October 1979.
It also became the splash page for The Saga of Captain Britain! when it began a reprint run in the US in Marvel Tales No. 131, September 1981. Or did it? This image is different with one big giveaway being Cap's right foot.
I also don't know who drew any of this. Herb Trimpe and Fred Kida drew the 1976 Captain Britain strip as shown in the credit box above but the other images were never part of the strip itself. It's drawn in a Jack Kirby style but there were a number of artists associated to the Cap strip, such as Larry Lieber and Ron Wilson, that could have pulled this off.
Ring Raiders No. 2, dated 30 September - 13 October 1989. Cover by Ian Kennedy. The F-86 was known as the Sabre however the sweep of its wings and tail were often referred to as an 'arrowhead' design. Treasury of British Comics.
The Wizard No. 192, dated 13 October 1973. The Lancers from Lost Valley cover. No idea who this artist is but his work looks familiar. DC Thomson.
Warlord No. 525, dated 13 October 1984. A very un-Warlord like cover featuring free gifts and competition prizes, none of which fitted in to the military theme. I could have understood this cover on Victor or Hotspur but it looks a bit out of place on Warlord. DC Thomson.
