i think it was the most hackneyed work of garth's career. usually the master of confounding and shocking writing, in this instance everything is wholly predictable.
give me grant morrison's superb and disturbing subversion of dare instead, please.
the company address is a private residence in a very leafy part of Surrey.
Fuck me, you need a few quid to live in that neighbourhood!
My guess is that the Dan Dare Corp (and some of the other IP owners who seem to just be sitting on material) refuse to accept a lot of (what seem to be reasonable) offers because if they did accept they'd be setting a price below what they've valued their IP at.
They'd rather bring in zero income and claim it's worth X million pounds than make at least some money but have to admit that they previously over-estimated the value. I'm assuming there's a tax advantage or similar involved somewhere along the line.

Is this event good? I remember speaking to some of the BHP people at an Edinburgh Comic Art fest a few years ago and they seemed like a decent bunch. I'm tempted to head down if I'm around in June.
It can be a bit hit or miss TBH, but better that anything else on the go in Scotland now...
Bring back HiEx! I'm looking at you Rich!
Last I'd heard, Pat himself hadn't finished writing the scripts.Don't think so, though I haven't checked. I was under the impression that the scripts were written years ago.
Did he mention that on his Twitter?
After reading Mills twitter related to the Joe Pineapple series I do not think it will be ready this year:
On subject of late-running series, I should mention Joe Pineapples. Simon first talked to me about his idea in September 2014. I wrote first treatment in December 2014. Currently, Simon has completed his two colour episodes. Clint continues. I know he's completed some, but ..
