Death's Head was great! I hope they do Dragon's Claws too.

What's wrong with Death's Head #8?

Dr. Who crossover. Presume there's rights issues involved.

Yeah, and the DWM issue where DH get's downsized is also absent. Very odd as IDW published that story back when they had the Who rights, I doubt the BBC would be that clingy over such obscure pieces of the franchise.

There's also going to be a Death's Head edition of the Hachette Marvel series coming soon. I'm hoping it might be closer to the UK editions we've seen in the past ie with the WHO crossovers included!

I contaminated it by appearing on the letters page.

Or it could be that.

Anyone happen to know what happened to the ol' DH (and Deagon's Claws) MGN Collection HCs? 

They appear to have vanished from the timeline!

I've got a copy of Dragon's Claws - 171 spine. Was shipped from FP in early March.

Thanks for replying, Tomwe. Will look into that!

Death's Head is/was 172, out last month, and probably not actually available from anywhere.

Chers, IP - guess I'll have to wait and see if/when the Hachette website for the series returns.

The Hachette partworks page - as with the 2000ad Ultimate Collection - is back online.

I can find Deaths Head but no sign of Dragon's Claws!

Hachette is apparently Death's Head #1-7 "and material from Marvel Heroes #33".

That's the British strip by Simon Williams isn't it. Standalone 'vs Hulk' story I think.
Glad I skipped it overall though.

I promise never to ask again, chaps, but can anyone actually spot Dragons Claws on the Hachette website?

I've looked and looked!
