The Greatcoat Discovered

First published in February 1987.
The Really Heavy Greatcoat had its origins in a conversation in the (now closed) Moorlands Public House, Lancaster, after someone picked up my old and really heavy greatcoat -- an Air Raid Patrol greatcoat -- and commented on the weight.
We were running a variety of strips in On the Beat, a local listings title I was self-publishing and this was the second strip by Nick Miller. He hates the look of the strip now -- and can't understand my attempts to document the history of the Greatcoat by re-publishing these old strips, which are a far cry from the skilled worked he creates today.
At first I don't think Nick expected to be drawing the Greatcoat again, and the next strip didn't appear until April 1987. I'm sure he didn't expect to still be drawing The Really Heavy Greatcoat for over 20 years...
