I was talking to the guys on the Panini table at Bristol & they told me the next uk edition should be out in November & they have plans for a special edition containing Olivier's artwork never published before. They also talked about hopefuly publishing their erlier work Sha & Requiem's spin off Claudia over the next few years

Just to open a whole new can of worms & theories with three old foes ment to be returning this series [spoiler]Omega, The Rani & the cybermen & who's baby is that James Corden's character is looking after[/spoiler]

John Sullivan creator & writer of "Only Fools & Horses" died aged64

Sol Saks, the creator of Bewitched passed away from pneumonia aged 100

Movie x was Super. I spoke to quite a few pissed off people who had qued for nearly 2 hrs to try & get in only to be turned away & then told what the film was. The que went around nearly the whole of the top floor.

Dean Richards the Wolves & Tottenham defender past away today at the age of 36 after a long battle with illness

Bad news, after waitng over 3 years for the collected edition of Marshal Law to be published Kevin O'Niel & Pat Mills have parted company with Top Shelf comics. but good news whilst at SDCC they were approached by DC comics & are now in negotiations to publish Marshal Law instead

If you want I can give you his mobile number so you can talk to himabout this

Just thought you would be interested that whilst speeking to Pat Mills today he confirmed to me that Matt Smith has given him the goahead to write Flesh book 3 with a new up & coming artist James? He wouldn't tell me anything about the storyline, but said it would be a classic Flesh story with a modern twist & ignoring the previous stories from the 90's (including his) as he always felt that they didn't sit well with the original stories

Only manged the Saturday this year (arseholes at work wouldn't give whole weekend off), but still well worth it: first won the massive Dredd sketch drawn by Leigh Gallagher at the 2000ad table & now I've just got an e-mail from Titan books telling me that I have won an original page of artwork from The Losers in the draw held at the Jock/Andy Diggle sketching & still managed to get a few great sketches along the way

If you are enjoying rediscovering Theatre Of hate you should also check out Kirk Brandon's later work with Spear of Destiny. the music is not as harsh as theatre of hate but still has the same edge in the lyrics & his stage perforemance on sonjgs  such as LIberator & Prisoner of Love of the ablbum One Eyes Jack

Pat Mills has just tweeted that he will be going to Northern Ireland comic festival in Derry on the 7th June

just found on twitter at PatMillscomics that he has started putting pages from his classic 80's story "Metalzoic" up on his facebook page "Pat Mills Lost Stories". So far he has put up the first 18 pasges of the original colour DC comics version instead of 2000ad's black & white one. He is hoping to find & put more of his old stories on there as & when he can find them.

Pat's just writing the intro & a personal tribute Johnny
