Forgot to mention another 2000AD gaming-related purchase: the meeples (a prototype of which was displayed at the 40th anniversary two years ago).

Produced by Termight Replicas though no longer available directly from them (links to two sellers at the bottom of the Termight page) these are wooden figures for use in varoius games.

Is The Iron Legion that Dave Gibbons Doctor Who story (can't remember if it was written by Pat, Alan or John), meaning Big Finish is an audio adaptation of said story?

Yes, Big Finish have adapted the Iron Legion and the Star Beast stories from DWM by Pat and and Dave. Mills and Wagner alternated the writing duties on the Gibbons run it seems.

Not quite sure what to go with as the episode title yet. The Big Finish adaptations of The Iron Legion and The Star Beast is a bit of mouthful.
I could try Storytime with Uncle Pat:D

I met up with Damian Edwardson from ArtNineTwo at the Lawless convention to talk about Wagner and Gibson's manic robotic creations in Robo-Hunter. The bar was noisy so I've done what I can with the background noise.
It's a fun discussion that encompasses Wombles, politics, and the healing power of art, as well as robots, lots of robots.

Insane detail by Kevin O'Neill on Sheridan's grailpage.



Just listened to the podcast in question. It truly is an amazing illustration, isn't it? Imagine putting this much effort in at a time when comics were seen largely as throwaway pieces of entertainment for kids.

I'm not sure if I like it better in color of black and white! I love some monochrome!

Also, getting VERY close to episode 100, I can't wait! Keep up the good work!

Class is in session as Professor Nathan Duck joins me in after-school detention in the bar at Lawless to discuss Metalzoic by Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill. Expect giant robots, mind-bending science fiction concepts, and operations on our own brains!
