Yeah, I love Boo Cooks style, very energetic and really jumps off the page. For me he really epitomises Dredd. It was worth going to Thought Bubble just for that alone

Great, I'll keep that for next time, thats a great bit of of tech knowledge for next time for an old timer like me. Thanks very much, greatly appreciated

IDW did some large hardback books for Carlos, Cam and Brian Bolland which were really nice a few yrs ago. For Carlos and Brian they did even bigger versions that look about the same size as the Apex versions, which were limited edition , maybe 250 were done - something like that, signed  by the artists and contained about 10 art prints in each that were really nice, including a print of the cover of prog one. Looking at the Apex versions on the video posted it looks like these are even nicer just because it look like photos of the original art pages. Very nice for collectors if you have the funds available

I recently picked up vols 7 and 8 of a Cinebook comic called Orbital. They're kids comics really but the Pelle & Runberg combo makes for a very engrossing story and art. The story is sci-fi with great characters that are likeable and engaging and the art is to die for - warm soft colours, very detailed and really takes you right there. They have even started a spin off so looking forward to vol one of that when it arrives. Strongly recommended for just a fun sci-fi trip

No probs. It's nice to share it with people who understand what it is. That igmur thing is great. Never come across that before. Thanks for suggesting it.

I have couple of other pieces of Boo Cooks work not yet framed and a few sketches he's done over the yrs. It was fab to meet Boo and his Mrs, they were very warm and friendly and I have very fond memories of those Thought Bubble experiences. Anyway, cheers all and thanks for the welcome. I've had a fab day today meeting you. Cheers

Ah it appears to have worked. Hear a few pics of newly framed prints and 1 piece of original art by Boo Cook.  Just click on the 3rd one down, the 1st 2 are missing the main wall pic

Thanks guys. I've asked for a privilege bump to see if it's that, and I'll ask my wife about the igmure thing you mentioned. She's the techi in our house, perhaps she can work it out. Anything technological seems appears to my eyes a sorta magic. 

Hi, just looking through this thread, looks like this is the place to be asking about the ability to post pictures on the forum. Can you help? I am assuming I can't post pictures because I am new. I was beginning to think it's because I'm totally useless with any form technology which is quite possible and even likely. Is it possible to be upgraded so I can post pictures? If you can help that would be great. Thanks

I can copy the picture and paste it  but when I try to post it won't do it. Possibly the files are too big. If anyone knows how to post pictures without breaking the forum I'd  be happy to share pictures from 'The Wall of Dredd'.

The Hebrew613 user name just represents where my heart sits. It's not a quote from the the New Testament, so don't worry no preachy fundamentalism here. My internal being sits in ancient places with ancient stories and poetry in ancient tongues. If I were to sum up who I am a person I would just say Hebrew613. It perfectly reflects that which I am.

Le Fink, can you you tell me how I add the pictures here?

I was looking through boxes of graphic novels I had bought, read and boxed and missed my weekly Dredd. I think I was last at Thought Bubble in 2016 I think and looking at prints I had bought that were signed by various artists and writers. I found a couple things that I had bought from John Wagner - prints that Carlos had signed for him, so I bought these great Dredd and Strontium Dog prints signed by both Carlos and John and decided to get them framed. All in I got 14 pieces framed for what my wife now calls 'The Wall Of Dredd' Jock prints, Vice Press prints, Boo Cook original art from a few Megs,  John McCrea, Dylan Teague. I've still got some more to get framed but it will take a while. But you just can't beat a weekly hit of something as fun, exciting, and just riotously enjoyable as 2000ad. My favourites were always Dredd and Strontium Dog but I have to say have to say I just ordered something called 'The Out' which looks like something which is new and interesting which I am really looking forward to reading. But I have got a monthly subscription and really enjoying Helium (love Disraeli) and Feral & Foe. All in 2000ad is just a great place to spend some time and if the people I have met at Thought Bubble are still as fun and friendly as I remember then this forum will be a great place to spend some time as well. Anyway great to meet you and thanks for the welcome
