Wow I love the attention to detail - that list of all the Nemesis details is fantastic and then to add such a eclectic mix of series and go from Nemesis to 7 Wonders is just genius.

This resource truly could rival Barney!

Funt Solo - just want to say I've used the A-Z for the first time in anger, not just admiration. I wanted to know how far ahead Sinister Dexter's first appearance in the Winter Special was compared to their Prog appearance and had forgotten it was almost a full year!

Funt Solo

Yay - it's got a practical use!

I'm currently fiddling with narrowing some of the columns where the tables go too wide for a 1024 pixel layout. And thinking about doing an ABC highlights table.

I used the phrase "something something in anger" here in the US and got shocked responses - like "why were you angry?" and "it's probably not a good idea to be angry while you do a task". I don't often really, really miss Britain - but sometimes these US folk just don't understand our phrasing.





The c**ts.

Oh not I meant I was bloody furious I wouldn't remember and I used it then throw my laptop across the room. Those Americans have a point!

Currently trying to recall where Brass & Bland showed up in the Rogue Trooper stories.

I already have:
- The Body Looters, prog 265
- To The Ends Of Nu Earth, progs 387-392
- The Professionals, 2019 Villains Special

Does anyone recall them showing up in other stories?

Here's a list of story titles between Body Looters and To The Ends:

All Hell On The Dix-I Front
Milli-Way Sixty-Six
[Pray For War] or [Waldos]
The Assassination Run
Hats Off To Helm
The Marauders
Fort Neuro
Major Magnam
Genetic Infantryman Of Nu Earth
Bio-Wire
Milli-Com Memories
The Droidonators
Vid-Vultures
Eye Of The Traitor
First Of The Few
The 'Frisco Phog
From Hell To Eternity
Mega-Minefield
The Gasbah
Timeslip
Colonel Kovert
You Only Die Twice
Message From Milli-Com
Portrait Of A Rebel
[The War Of Words]
Just Routine
[Blind Terror] or Blinded
Death Valley

Its getting better and better. Just brilliant.

Let there be no mistake: this is stonkingly good resource. It's just eaten my entire lunch,   if you get my meaning.

Funt Solo

Oh, cool! Thanks for the positive feedback and I'm glad it's useful.

I've been doing quite a bit of behind the scenes prep. for it, and am excited about the big ones: Slaine (it's gonna be biblical), Rogue Torpor (sic) and Strontium Dog(s). And as for Dredd ... still turning a few dials and adjusting knobs ("Public indecency, creep! Three months!") but that'll be a bit of a doozy.

Also daydreaming about a "continuity" section to try and put things in context for the various 'verses: Millsverse, Dreddverse, Strontiverse, Rogueverse, Cabsverse etc.

Still willing to cheat the system and favor thrills for inclusion based on requests. Any takers?
