Suggestions / I'm liking Garth Ennis' continual championing of Battle...

It's really exciting to know there's a whole comic in Battle that I know very little about.

Any chance of providing a volume way (ie Digital bundle) to open up all these great stories like HMS Nightshade etc.

Suggestions / Selling Digital comics with some sort of physical shelf container

« on: 31 March, 2022, 04:46:53 PM »

I love Digital comics because I'm running out of room.

But they are relatively heavy files to store on a tablet so inevitably they end up on a hardrive and once they are out of sight, they are out of mind.

I would pay more for a Digital version but with the format (presumably memory sticks or even cool looking DVDs) sat inside a hardback spine so I could see them on the shelf.

I know this sounds a but antiquated but the container itself could have extras or art prints.
It's not that different to the Warner Bros releases of big albums like Prince Sign o'the times. You get the download files but a physical version that looks great on the shelf

Rogue Trooper volumes would have to be on three familiar memory chips thought, right?

Suggestions / Re-issue the first year of 2000AD and Action prog by prog as a flip book.

« on: 30 December, 2021, 11:32:50 AM »

There appeared to be a lot of interest in the 2000AD prog zero and the banned issue of Action that came with the Action 2020 Special.

So my idea would be as a premium subscription re-issue the first year of Action/2000AD as a flipbook prog by prog - so in week one you get 2000AD prog 1 back to back with Action 1.

I think a lot of people would love the subscription idea of a 'first year' collection of both titles - back to back - so they couldn't be mistaken for the originals...

The only thing I'd add is you will only receive access to the Prog on the Wednesday retail date (not as early as the Saturday before as we benefitted from as physical subscribers)

I only mention this as it annoyed me a bit. Still not sure why you can get a printed copy mailed to you before a digital one...!

General / Re: Best Xmas Prog Ever?

« on: 11 December, 2021, 10:27:34 AM »

I don't think its controversial to contend that the Annuals are ALL worse than any given Xmas Prog, and indeed contain a worse concentration of thrills than almost any weekly Prog...

2000AD-wise I'd agree but the 1981 & 1982 Dredd Annuals are astonishing with three fully-painted McMahon stories in each. So they are rather special.

The blog is great by the way. Love it.

Ah man, it'll feel like sacrilege sticking those cans in the recycling...

PJ - the label is designed to be removed and stuck in a book. It sort of peels of and you keep it with all the others.
It's pretty slick. So no Jock in the bin.

Suggestions / Re: Look at the Beano offering - personalised prints, you in a comic, annuals year X

« on: 08 November, 2021, 11:47:18 AM »

2000 AD only goes back to 1977, and there were no annuals beyond the early 1990s.

Indigo, they own the IPC archive. They've got annuals going back to 1890.
