Forthcoming Thrills!

[Grant Goggans]

Richard, I think they may be trying to balance each book between BW and color stories.  Maybe Meka-City, Fungus and those other Ezquerra Dredds from the 270s/280s will be in volume two?

Nope - bizzarely, they were all in volume 1!

Aye, that's correct. Not sure where the confusion is coming from, so here are (bad quality) screengrabs of the contents for each book - top is volume 1, below volume 2. Basically, it's all been done arsebackwards and makes very little obvious sense, with all the Apoc-War aftermath stuff happening before the Apoc War itself. Presumably this made sense to someone somewhere.

The full Robot Wars strip doesnt get reprinted, just the one episode that Carlos drew?

[Richard]

They skipped Necropolis and went straight to Death Aid?

[The Adventurer]

Since the Carlos Collection is more Art Book then reprint title, I'm not surprised its contents are all over the place.

[Nubby mcstubbins]

Anyone have a link to the last bulleted list of releases?  I think it's quite a ways back, yeah?

[Dark Jimbo]

What's this about, then..?

[TordelBack]

Looks like a rather impressive anthology of one-offs and and also-rans.  I'm seeing The Visible Man, The Amazing Maze Dumoir, Xtnct, Tribal Memories for definite, and is the guy in the foreground Greysuit?  Is the sword-wielding guy from Telguuth, and who is the dame with the machine gun?

[Dash Decent]

I like that cover.  They seem to be standing on the helmets of the more popular strips.  I can see a Judge helmet, Helm, Johnny Alpha's pointy hat, Hammerstein?  It looks more like they are standing on the skulls of the vanquished, rather than on the shoulders of giants.

I kinda wish they'd theme these things by author – I want to have Tribal Memories in a collected TPB form very much, but it's frustrating that I have to own Xtnct to do so. I've said it before – bring out The Pete Milligan collection: Freaks, Shadows, Tribal Memories, The Dead, Sooner or Later / Swifty's Return + assorted Future Shocks (with Bix Barton getting its own TPB, clearly.)

[Link Prime]

bring out The Pete Milligan collection: Freaks, Shadows, Tribal Memories, The Dead, Sooner or Later / Swifty's Return + assorted Future Shocks (with Bix Barton getting its own TPB, clearly.)

I'd buy both in a heartbeat. They'd make nice companion books to the forthcoming 'The Best of Milligan & McCarthy'.

Think it over Tharg.

I want this like yesterday.
