JBC, I'm pretty sure I have the 1992 yearbook in a pile of neglected comics here and after your that post about your love and loss of it I'd love to send it to you. If you're interested PM me your address.

I loved that 1992 yearbook...

Thank you, Funt! On the ball as ever. Is that John McCrea on art duties?

Edit: also, '20th century chamber music'

Hi Funt, it's absolutely nothing to do with comicsgate. Whilst I do think identity politics is the enemy of class struggle I don't think I have to be inappropriately politically labelled just because I look at a list of creators and think 'Christ, nothing for me there'.

You know what I usually do when I don't think something's for me?

I ignore it and move on.

Like you did with me? Cool, cool.

The unified thing is that knowing the work of some of them and looking at the art of others I get huge 'this isn't for me' vibes which is, from my own perspective, a shame as normally I'd support Rebellions endeavours.

It might be the way you say 'types' of creator as if there is some unified 'thing' about that list that is why you don't like them. Rather than stating there is no one on that list of individul creators whose work you enjoy.

Y'know... I wasn't sure if I was going to bother with this, romance comics not really being my thing*, but I'm now sorely tempted to back it just to spite BPP.

*Although I would very likely buy a reprint of that time travelling Adam Ant strip from Tops.

Can I just check where your seen who they creators are? I've not yet seen a list so woulod be good to know?

Lovely bit of 1950s Captain Marvel Jr club ephemera currently up for sale on ebay (I'm not the seller). I love this sort of stuff and I know I'm not the only one as the bidding has been pretty fierce and is now at £100+.
