Hibernia Comics have their latest release out 'Indestructible Man' out today. Part of their Fleetway File partnership (is that the right word?) with Rebellion and the Treasury.

As ever with me and Hibernia an Instabuy for me. If you fancy it too might be best to pop over relatively soon as the last one sold out quite quickly as I recall.
Instabuy here too, looks glorious!
Yep, an immediate buy for me as well. Done.

Always do.
Thanks for keeping getting this stuff out. Do you have any of the text / article publications planned - though I suspect you are very busy with the Treasury stuff at the moment.
Yes I do Colin, one final Comic Archive, it will be next year though.
I'm writing the Action Force history for the KS and I've uncovered some pretty cool stuff, and another writing thing too, but too early to say anything about that yet, but Autumn or thereabouts should see it out in the wild.
We are in the planning stage of something pretty special with a classic artdroid as well, IF it comes together it should be available in late August.
ordered. nostalgia never looked so elegant as these editions.
(can you drop any enticing hints concerning future volumes in this fabulous series?)
After a deluge of orders a batch went today and another batch tomorrow should see it up to date. Only a third of the print run left, get them while you can 😀
Rocked up this morning in sunny Worcestershire. I've not had time to read it yet but skimeed though it and looks wicked - gorgeous art and top notch repro, terrific work from Hibernia. Looking forward to getting stuck into it!
Here is a review, looks like a good purchase:

I'm sadly still waiting for my copy here. My postie thinks I fancy him, as I always meet him on the doorstep these days.

Winging its way across the Irish sea Steev!
Thanks for posting the review, it's getting great feedback, Eisner award nominee David Roach saying it's 'a really fabulous book' is particularly satisfying!
Really happy to hear good feedback. We're always aiming to get these reprints looking as good as possible, and David has a great eye for quirky hidden gems that might not otherwise ever see print again. This one was a particularly satisfying project, as making sure the art and text held up after shifting from Jag's original tabloid format was a bit of a challenge.
I think David posted a teaser of future FF releases on the Hibernia Facebook page, so there should hopefully be plenty more deep dives into the archives to look forward to!
Just wondering if there was anyone else still waiting for their copy to arrive or is it just me?
I'm still waiting for mine- but I've also ordered *a lot* of stuff recently that has taken its sweet time to get to me. At this point, I'm only at Panic Level DefCon 1.

Thanks, most of my stuff has been on time lately but just wanted to check as thought I may not be the only one
These are coming from Ireland, so it is international shipping, usually fast but sometimes can take a while. Let me know here or on Facebook if they don't land by the end of the week and I will sort something out.
I've not received mine either. Still waiting for the 3rd volume of The Trigan Empire as well.
Still no sign, here at Small Blue Towers. Willow course let you know if this changes with the last post of the week tomorrow.

Hope its turned up Steev?
I've read mine while away and its a fantastic read. The format - these were originally tabliod sized - make the pages a very dense read so I read it in chunks over several sittings which worked much better. Its so unapologetically British comics. Its bonkers - the cover image with 'The Badger' - slighly hidden in the navy blue background, proclaiming "... I shall bid them welcome to THE LAIR OF THE BADGER" sums the series perfectly.
It makes not a jot of sense. Mark Dangerfield's powers are utterly random. He's a bit of a 50s Superman as he can do anything that the plot requires really - though occasionally transforming into an aged man who needs to be immersed in flames to regenerate... I know, I know and yet it works perfectly for what it is.
The art of Jesus Blasco is superb - I'd love to see it full sized. The later stories from Annuals just aren't as strong (and strangely Dangerfield seems to become Bill Murray in the last story!).
Another triumph from Hibernia and roll on the next (Captain Condor).
Interviewed David McDonald about it this morning. Coming up on the pod two weeks today

Oh that's excellent news.
There was a reason mine hadn't turned up- despite me ordering it on day one, the process didn't complete! Thankfully David managed to sort it and a copy is now on its way. As always, service above and beyond.
My phone just doesn't like the Comicksy website for some reason- when I did order it, it charged me postage to Australia, which David then again sorted. That man is a "ledge", as my youngest would say.
SBT
...and here it is! Many thanks David, it looks absolutely lovely as usual. You guys do a wonderful job on these.
SBT
You're lucky. Still no sign of mine despite 2 follow up emails asking what's going on!
Hi Rob,
I sent you an email on the 1st, telling you I would be sending a replacement on the 3rd, which was sent. You should have it soon .
Cheers.
That's excellent. Hopefully I'll be able to leave a review soon.
