Sold for £40, and thanks to the generosity of Stephen @Buttonman Watson we were able to make a second chance offer for his badge which raised another £39.

the total is now £15,277.91

Paul Trimble returns to discuss the Titan collection of Rat Pack: Guns, Guts and Glory from 2012. And we also talk about the Enniskillen comic fest (highly recommended), the Battle Fans facebook group, his interview with Garth Ennis, and his upcoming writing for projects by Justin Marriott and Peter Duncan.

The fundraising project is about to wrap up with an upcoming raffle but first there is a quick eBay auction for the Slaine pin badge.
I'm sure you all know the drill by now, 99p start, free postage, and all proceeds go direct to cancer research UK.

The book club has a new recruit as Troy Martin helps me tackle the subject of European comics, and the success of Requiem Vampire Knight by Pat Mills and Olivier Ledroit.

Another film club intermission as Luke Aldred and Conrad Leiden return to discuss the fabulous Robocop and its less successful sequel, and to try and work out the connections to Dredd.
Surely you would buy that for a dollar?

Quote from: Colin YNWA on 26 October, 2023, 08:26:15 PMThere's a little bit of John Stokes in the inking there to my eye?
Good spot. Stokes was often uncredited in his 60s and 70s IPC work so who knows?

Here are two more Walduck pages that may give more Ridgway vibes, and also demonstrate some of the repeated cruelty the plucky heroine has to endure.

Thanks, Rich.

And here is Matthew's Desmond Walduck grail page

It's a return to the 1970s for the book club as Matthew Ellis introduces me to Tammy and discovers the secrets of the War Orphan farm. Expect multiple escapes and recaptures, lots of worrying head trauma, and the terrors of Ma Thatcher the child snatcher!
