Hi
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately both of these shops have my wants list already. Another great seller is Boarder Books up North, they have been stunning in their responsiveness and are certainly worth looking at for British comics. My problem is I am trying to finish my run so I have point issues to collect.

I too have the Hawk Books, what triggered my liking of Dan Dare was the the really beautifully produced Dragon's Dream books of the late 70s. It is interesting to compare the two versions of the stories they printed as you'll see how Frank Hampson's colleagues re-purposed the art in the DD books.
Cheers

Hi
I know this request may be seen as possibly off forum; but I am looking complete my collection of The Eagle, which was the original home of the great Dan Dare, whom Tharg did kindly provide a short lived home in his great organ of Galactic Knowledge. Hence if any of you possibly have any issues to sell I could post my wants list.

Before anyone sends me a Riggelan Hotshot saying look at ebay, I am doing that actively

Regards

Thanks,

Has anyone had the problem of being classed as a spammer when using an iPAD, this seems to have happened to my account (and is still to this day) when I went on holiday to Croatia two weeks ago?

Is this a tech compatibility issue between a system in the house of Tharg and Apple technology which calls for a little help from Mek Quake

Hi
Having just seen the zarjaz film, I thought I would finally, after quite some time, say hi and then maybe I would be allowed to post to the film threads.

First exposure to the organ of the mighty Tharg was shock at seeing Flesh in a prog around no 7 and have been a subscriber from prog 178 after gradually collecting the rest for 2p each at a second stall that used to be in Exeter Market

Anyway thought the film stood up to Goaty's picture, and Karl Urban is the law (they could have downsized his helmet a bit). Liked what they did with the story considering the constraints they had and have been trying to promote the film at work all day as I want to see the one with the budget that allows the more expansive stories to be told.

Interesting comment from the staff at the Showcase Bristol today that the 3D ticket price of £11 may be off-putting people (and then again the showing was up against the football) - after work there we only 20 in a large screen (hope things are better tomorrow).

Nice to see recognition of John and Carlos first in the title and the various 2000 AD creators (back to Starlord) & forum acknowledged at the end of the titles - a nice nod from the film creators.

Also just got my copy of the Art of Judge Dredd - the cover lifted from Um America Graffiti by Mick McM is something worth paying the extra pounds for.

So finally get out there and enjoy the film.
