[sheridan]

Chris still has grail pages.
Two of them are from 2000AD.
Listen in
 

I'll take a wild stab in the dark for one of them ;-)

[JayzusB.Christ]

Heh.

[Eamonn Clarke]

Yup, here is the first of Chris's two remaining 2000AD grails:

It's time for the exploits of Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat in the pages of the galaxy's greatest comic. Jake Ebeling is my guest to chat about Kelvin Gosnell and Carlos Ezquerra's classic adaptation.

Cheers for the mention! This was a great episode, I read the SSR books when I was a kid and I've always loved the 2000AD adaptions, great stuff. From the episode, Harry Harrison's letter to the Nerve Center was in Prog 148, I'd attached a screenshot below. Splundig Vur Thrigg!

[Eamonn Clarke]

Cheers, Conrad. Nice to see Tharg helping out struggling authors with £3!

Here is Jake's grail page, the glorious wraparound cover to 393

[McGurk76]

Just listened to it! Very good.

Hey Eamonn, now that your some years into the podcast, and have covered an astonishing amount of ground, I wonder if you'd considered doing a 'top 10' episode, where you get your contributors / listeners to submit their top 10s lists of 2000AD books, so we can identify a Book Club approved 'best of 2000AD' breakdown..?

Something to save up for episode 100 maybe!

Excellent idea, Alex

Brian Walsh from Dublin's fair city takes me and the Rogue Trooper to a very different city, Cinnabar by John Smith, Steve Dillon and Kev Walker. Is it the best Nu-Earth story yet? Listen in and let us know.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Who's that bog-Irish mucksavage putting on a Dublin accent? Don't recognise the voice at all 😃

[Eamonn Clarke]

He's got a touch of the blarney about him, that's for sure. 

And here is Brian's grail page, or the non spoiler-ish one anyway.

[Eamonn Clarke]

It's Z-day in the book club as Mr Joshy and myself crack open the first volume of Zombo's adventures from Mr Flint and Mr Ewing. We avoid all the big spoilers and have a rollicking good time along the way.
