1524: IKONOCLASM

[COMMANDO FORCES]

Joe never missed. That twattin' warrior pulled the targets head down just at the wrong time. Cannon fodder, they always get in the way!

[Proudhuff]

great cover that's got to pick up a few newbies or old comebacks...

Damage report: 30 year archive on one shelf... has there been a mass clear out or a fire at Rebellion?

JD: what a loverly light touch that nice Mr Gibson's got, so much white, I'm reminded of when Steve Yeoll (sp) started taking things down to a minimum, great story too, nice to see a MkI again, now that's a Judge's gun.

Stickleback: Ah Joy! surely it can't be all tied up in one episode? unless our hero gets the chop and that's that.
I spy:
page 1, is that Kelly's Eye around his neck?
Page 2: Wickerman, Janus, The tarot handed man anymore?
Page 3 Harliquinn.
More please Thargy!! and soon.

ABC; A visual treat and nice to see the backstory of the Warriors and so little text! sgoodstuff

Kingdom: its sucked me in, the artwork suits the story and nice twist.

Dirty F: how good was that! 'Plague of zombies'LOL

Back page ad: anyone know this publication?

over all a really brilliant Prog, especially as it came in the same post as two nasty letters fi the bank

between the i's Huff

Thats the chap from Leviathan isnt it - the other symbol round his neck is the Leviathan symbol

[The Amstor Computer]

Yup - that's Sir William Ashbless, and the pendant round his neck is indeed the Leviathan Eye. With the crossover between this strip and The Red Seas & D'Israeli's comments about a "greater Edginton-Verse", is it possible that this strip and Leviathan could crossover? I'm not sure of the dates for Leviathan, but I wouldn't be surprised if they coincided with Stickleback...

With the crossover between this strip and The Red Seas

What was that?

Was it The Jolly Cripple?  Or did I miss something else?

[The Amstor Computer]

Yup, it was The Jolly Cripple (although I haven't checked D'Israeli's blog notes, so there may be something else I've missed...)

[I, Cosh]

Back page ad: anyone know this publication?

Interzone? Yes. British SF mag, been going for about a hundred years. I've not picked one up for a while, but most issues used to have five or six short stories of variable quality and a stack of book reviews.

Another good Prog this week. I thought Low Life went downhill slightly but this has still been a cracking return for the series.

[Art]

I've thought about writing something for them a number of times but always come to the conclusion that I just can't write prose.

Along with the pub, I think a picture of the Captain (canâ??t remember his name right now, Jack Dancer?) turns up behind Stickleback when you first see him.

[paulvonscott]

Another good prog.  Not much more to add than before, maybe later.

[JOE SOAP]

Great prog again this week, 5 good strips.


Gibson's art is standout, with nice references to his "Acandemy" strips, though Dredd's Mk II lawgiver looks like a spud gun.

[paulvonscott]

Never really made the link between the roll of honour and gibson.  'Doh!' as I believe the popular utterance goes.

[Carlsborg Expert]

I really adore Dizzy's work on Stickleback. Not one dull panel in there. The fella is cutting edge with b/w.

 Really feeling the characters and the world. Masterful story and editing too.

[Albion]

I think I'm the only person here who doesn't like Low Life.

The rest of the prog is great though.
