I recall a customer tearing up a copy of Revolver for dissing Dan Dare.

Quote from: karlos on 22 January, 2024, 03:56:27 PMI totally see what you mean, IP, but as it's linked to Nemesis I thought it might be.

Wishful thinking!

(I'll settle for a Mek Files vol 1 reprint!)

I'd love this to be included to along with the Flint Deadlock story, but I just don't think it'll happen. Not even sure if Nemesis and Deadlock will be included but I'd rather have The Black Hole!

I'm hoping for all those - especially both The Black Hole and the Deadlock epilogue - fingers crossed, Blue Cactus!

Just remembered there's a little bit in here about CRISIS (14 mins in)

Was trying to remember Sticky Fingers a few days ago.  Yeah, it was fantastic.

In fact, I agree with pretty much everything there, Colin!

Still quite fancy getting a "Govt Hooligan" tee, though!

Had no idea your write-up existed, Funt.  Looks great and I'll be checking it out!

It was a stunning looking comic, you're right.  Fantastic aesthetic - perfectly of it's time.

I remember the day it came out and selling many copies in my LCS.  It was huge for the first few issues.

New Statesmen was definitely overlooked.  I need to read it again.

Looking back, were a lot of people expecting something else?  Something more 2000ad-y?

Was it a big deal to you?

What did you think of it?

It seemed like a HUGE deal to me and my comic book chums at the time, but it seemed to quickly fizzle? 

Or is my mind playing tricks?

I can't believe The Black Hole is out of print - hopefully, it'll be part of the new Nemesis HCs

But I'll continue reading and those things can change. With Spidey, I think I gave up after four of five issues of barely readable Todd McFarlane comics. 2099: one series read fully. Half of one skimmed. Then I was done.

Nice to meet another Ravage fan  :D

A lot of that introduction could be copied and pasted into 2024.
