UPDATED: 'Powerman' by Gibbons & Bolland

I've looked a number of time at the Powerman strip by Dave Gibbons & Brian Bolland and I just thought it would be helpful to gather all my motes on it together to see who drew what.

So based on my collection this is what I know about Powerman - if you can help fill in any gaps please just let me know.

Powerman #25 - art by Brian Bolland & Dave Gibbons

I've looked at Powerman before (here) and I've tried to gather all the images I can find of this rare Nigerian comic by Brian Bolland and Dave Gibbons.

Brian recently posted up just the covers of his Powerman comics so I'm going to collate just the covers here (and hopefully at some point I'll be add further detail to the post, but for now it's just the cover)

Previously we've looked at...
a) issue 5 is here
b). issue 6 is here
c). issue 7 is here
d). issue 8 is here
e). issue 9 is here
f). issue 10 is here
g). issue 11 is here
h). issue 12 is here
i). issue 13 is here
j). issue 15 is here
k). issue 16 is here
l). issue 17 is here
m). issue 18 is here
n). issue 19 is here
o). issue 20 is here
p). issue 21 is here
q). issue 23 is here [cover only]
r). issue 26 is here 
s). issue 27 is here [cover only]
t). issue 29 is here [cover only]
u). issue 30 is here 
v). issue 31 is here [cover only]
w). issue 32 is here [cover only]

and now it's the turn of issue 25...

...and then Brian starts on the Powerman strip...

...but the pages are shared between Brian & Dave Gibbons - here's an example of his work (on the final page)

and the only other strip...
