I've often wondered about the Sam Fox thing too - when was the book originally written (and does it also reference Sam Fox)?

Leigh S

Written in 1982 - the book has a different author and more spoilery subtitle: - "How to win Elections", subtitled "Or how to vote the cemetery" by Seamus O'Neill

I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed the podcast even though I haven't said anything for a while.

I probably ought to mention that I sometimes it just doesn't occur to me to communicate for weeks or months at a time (and on one occasion, nearly a year), which has made certain things a bit tricky, like holding down a job, having a girlfriend and keeping in touch with people.

Fortunately, in the Internet age, no one notices.

I'm not dead, in other words.

Finished listening to first Reaction and its a great addition. Jason seems fun and nice to hear about some strips I've never read... in fact only ever read Hookjaw.

So the question this leaves us is when you going to start on Battle?

Enjoyed the first Re:Action cast - I didn't actually read this as a kid, so it's fun to get the spacespinner take on stuff I'm less familiar with.

And you only called him "Fox" once!

At this point my vision is pointed forward, not back. Our next target is space nobility, but that's a 2019 plan!

At this point calling my cohost Fox is total muscle memory. That and calling every character Dredd.

I too never got to read Action (something to do with only being born in 1978), and apart from that Hookjaw collection from Hibernia I've not managed to find any of the other stories - how does one go about reading along? The stories sound too ridiculous not to seek out!

Are you going to combine Space Nobility with Freak Weather Patterns?

And then possibly about a time of intense difficulty, trouble or danger!

For reprints, I'm trying to post a bunch of screenshots on our social media, which gives you the majority of each story and should hopefully give you a sense of the stories at least!

A space noble?  Some sort of Star... Lord?

Hurray!  You're doing Guardians of the Galaxy!

Will you be turning around while you do it, about mid-way through the peril?

Now, pay attention - this is complicated!

Nemesis Book IV era Purity Brown has Lily Munster's hair (black with white streak), in Elvira's style (big tall hair) with Patricia Morrison from the Sisters of Mercy's face (loud lipstick, huge dark eyes, nearly invisible nose) and she's wearing Emma Peel from the Avengers (not to be confused with Marvel's Avengers, which was called 'Marvel's Avengers Assemble!' over here) costume from the episode 'A Touch of Brimstone' (also worn by Dark Phoenix in an episode of Marvel's X-Men).

I hope that's perfectly clear.
