This might be of interest, hope no one minds me posting it here.

Brilliantly written by Alan Hebden, and the artwork by Ortiz is among his best.

OOOOH.
Must not...double dip!
Fabulolus! I'll make sure I get one this time...
Nice!
If you don't own this you are a fool to yourself, your family and the world around you.
BUY IT DAMN YOU, BUY IT!
Thanks :D
I gave mine away to a mate as a reward for being very decent in regard to a certain something.
I might kill him and take it back.
Tempting, although I already own the previous release.
Absolute quality throughout, and the legendary Hibernia level of reproduction is as good as always.
Ortiz's grey washes are a sight to behold!
Deserves to sell out again!
Every step you take
Every book you make
Every story you break, every, er, um, er, lawn you rake
I'll be watching you...
I mean: buy all Hibernian stuff. David's enthusiasm and commitment to his projects are a credit to him. These publications are a labour of love and they deserve our support. I'm proud to help him out with a bit of proofreading.
Wolly, might be worth the double dip, this edition has a spine an all :lol:
Thanks Trout appreciate it, Amstor does so much on these books too. There another article heading your way!
Oh go on then, that's my arm twisted :)

I echo all sentiments, this really is one of the unsung classics of brit comic making. Buy it, BUY IT ALL!
Copy arrived yesterday, picked it up today. Looks fantastic, of course. Well worth £9 of anybody's loot. Time to settle down and have a good read with a nice cuppa.
Just checked the link, and only Baker's Half Dozen and Doomlord currently showing. :(
However, I can thoroughly recommend both of them (especially Doomlord) so please buy them. :thumbsup:
Pretty much all gone Wolly, a handful held for a few folk at the con in Enniskillen, and thank for the kind words!
"You cant kill them! They where going to take me to Butlins!"
Tower King arrived safe and sound :)

Agh! Just seen this update. Fuck. :'(
(Surprised, to be honest, that a new printing would only run to "very limited quantities" but them's the breaks, I guess.)

It deserved to sell out (again), hats off to you!
At least I have the earlier edition, which is still awesome :thumbsup:
A couple of these lest after Enniskillen, Wolly and Ark PM me if you are still interested, Ill be putting them for sale in the next night or so.
Just want to say a big thank you to M&D for the copy of The Tower King that fell through my letterbox this morning. Can't wait to sit down and give it a proper read. Greatly appreciate being able to obtain a copy.
(Years ago, when boxing up my old (New) Eagle comics, the issues with TTK were the ones I pulled out to keep separately so I had ready access to them if I ever wanted to re-read the story. :))
