Here are some new discoveries i made that are currently boiling my potato.

Feel free to add any new stuff you think might be of interest to people but we maybe missing

Pig Tale

Beautifully drawn new title from Image comics. Only at issue #2 and already it feels like it's going to be a classic.

So far we have the main character a scooter riding overweight nerd-ish type, a sinister animal experiment, and a talking Pig( good guy) and Wolf( bad guy).
Heres a preview

Bigfoot

Bought this because it features Richard Corbens art. Amazing stuff so far, I've only got up to issue 2 but I think Number 4 is out.
Written by the omnipresent Steve Niles.

Starts off in 1973 whee a young boy experiences a horrible, and I mean horrible tradgedy( the art on the splash page where we get to see Big foot!)

For some reasion the local Sheriff seems well aware of the presence of this creature but is covering it up.

We pick up the story again as the boy has now grown up and is still traumatised by the events of 1973 and wants to resolve these issues. Especially as there are reports of more attacks

Noisybast

I'm quite liking Vimanarama at the moment. It's up to #2 (of 3) at the moment, but you shouldn't have much trouble picking up #1. My local thrill-merchant has a couple of both issues left on the shelves...
Dan Dare will return for a new adventure soon, Earthlets!

I'm also reading this! I love Philip Bonds' stuff - and so far this is going well!

Noisybast

Did you read Angel and the Ape?
Dan Dare will return for a new adventure soon, Earthlets!

johnnystress

Yeah!i forgot all about that! read it once and shelved it-must dig it out again

thanks for reminding me about it!

Floyd-the-k

it's very dated (the character predates Batman and Superman), but I'm hooked on Frew's Phantom comics, some of which are written by David Bishop. I don't know if they're available in the UK. You can read a newspaper strip version online (and some of the classic stories, if you look around a bit)

What is it about the Asian Pacific/Southern Hemisphere and The Phantom? Henry Ramsey on neighbours was a huge fan!

We used to get the serialised strip here years ago but they stopped running it.

I'd like to pick up a collected book if there is such a thing, especially the old stuff.
