I'd never heard of either of these stories. Sounds well worth checking out.

Thanks for the heads up. I've ordered that and the collection of Simon Harrison work from a Computer Magazine that I think might have been mentioned here before but I'd completely forgotten about.

Brill stuff!

I remember reading the Penal Colony one in the early 90s - I think it was in one of the issues of A1 maybe? - and it was great, a really interesting deconstruction of Kafka's story with some prime Ewins art.

Yep I've ordered this and the Harrison one too. Interesting wee publisher, I hope they have some more obscure stuff from 2000ad folk lined up.

Well mine has just landed and have to say they are very nice. Couple if A5 'art cards' with the Simon Harrison one and loads of back matter for the Brett Ewins on, including an interview with Pete Milligan.

Not read these yet but very please with how they look.

Really liked it! The Harrison book was a cracker too.
