General / Re: Rogue Trooper - Good resources online or otherwise

The fabulous old boardgame from Games Workshop would contain lots of useful info on weapons, units, hazards etc (pass the Anti-Stamell Gas!). They often pop up on e-bay - this one's currently at £8.99 with less than 24 hours to go. No idea what they usually finish for though, probably something outrageous. How I wish I'd kept mine...

Now I've never been a fan of Rogue Trooper but that board game was class

Been away on me hols and so read this issue 6 days ago now. Great stuff all good, verging on great strips. However even though we got extra lenght on a couple the issue felt a little short with only three strips. That said the stuff coming up looks very very exciting and there are good times ahead.

Should just add my voice to those expressing excitment at 'The Grievous Journey of Ichabod Azrael and the Dead Left in His Wake' - that title and that ad have got me chomping at the bit. Always love me a bit of western and add to that a 2000ad edge and I have very high hopes for this one.

'Dear Heart' but given how my spelling and grammar are (particularly as seen on here) I'd be the last person to take advice off!

Have the progs you were missing turned up. I read (I assume over at you're blog) that some appeared BUT have they caught up and did those random gaps (I seem to remember you talking about) get sorted?

Out of interest have you contact Rebellion about his I mean surely Tharg wants this sorting???

Interesting talk between Morrison and Clive Barker here. No 2000ad reference but interesting. Either video or transcript.

Silveracre www.silveracre.com

I'd be careful using Silveracre as a price guide as they do rather inflate the values when compared to say the eBay market... well alot actually! To be fair probably because they have significent overheads due to the size of the stock they carry???

I'm just glad someone else likes the Visible Man.  Loved it myself but no-one else seems to.

I LOVED it! As a young lad, this was one of my favourite early strips - I never kept my comics back in those days, but the image of the Visible Man was seared on my memory. Pick up a copy of the latest (Pat Mills inspired) copy of Zarjaz if you haven't already, to find a brief but hilarious sequel

Likewise fun little strip the Visible Man

Likewise I'm there, put the day off in the work calendar.

I take it with the photo you want a 'full body shoot' not just pictures of me frolicking around (you can only guess) with no acting experience or technical skill I'm thinking tea boy but it'll be interesting to see the process.

He mentions that he isn't sure if he should be saying this but the Meg are going to be running flashback stories of pivotal events in the Meg's history.

I assume if this was just a Tale from the Black Museum he would have said as much.

Obviously I could be very wrong and could be reading too much into what he said but I would love to see some sort of a Flashback style strand in the Megazine as I think we're really suffering from not having some Dredd flavoured one offs.

That's the way I interrupted it too. Time will tell I guess.
