Got my copy this morning (cheers Paul), haven't read it yet, but a skim through raises a smile. Great cover, nice 'n hairy. More later once i've read some.

You still get your da to buy you stuff DD? Lucky guy! ;)

DavidXBrunt · 24 October, 2003, 05:26:35 PM

His dad got a Krill to Thargo (or whatever it's called).

I got Solar Wind this morning. I think I did better than Devons GrandDaddy.

Is there any site giving info on this or anything like that? I know little.

People who want their contributors copies should e-mail me with their address, or post it attached to a fifty pound note.

Can I be the first to say it's not as funny as it used to be?

Just kidding, it's great.

I particularly liked the horoscopes. Who wrote those again, Paul? ;)

Marbles · 25 October, 2003, 06:38:03 AM

Aye, get it before its not as good as it used to be...

paulvonscott · 25 October, 2003, 06:46:52 AM

Yes, the paper stock has been upgraded for issue 2 so we didn't bother making it as funny to compensate.

Good God Man! There is an advert inside that is not for comics!

It is for a REAL company!

Seriously though, great idea for the 'taches!

The wife has started coming up with spoof ads now too, be warned Cosmic Ray!

Rotts.

The free gift comes from the mind of a genius. Brilliant.

Got mine this morning at the same time as 2000AD and guess which I read first?

Sorry, Tharg, Comsic Ray is TOP BITCH now!.

Anyway, I laughed my toes off several times.

This may sound stupid but I'm getting the hang of how to read it now as well - I like the little behind the scenes story that builds up in the Cosmic Scenes.

Thank you Cosmic Ray, thank you.

paulvonscott · 28 October, 2003, 12:10:37 AM

Well, thanks Rotts, and please, get your wife to send in the spoof ads!

The real Ad is for Smiffy's who very kindly did us a great deal on the Free gifts.

As for Top Bitch, all we need due is release Solar Wind every week instead of every six months, sell as many comics as Tharg, add on a couple of hundred sales and yes, we'll be beating them by a couple of hundred sales!!!

Oh and create a 26 year legacy of some of the best SF in this country. Wow, now I think about it, with a Quiglimbrian Brandy and a time capsule it all looks so plausible.

And remember, Cosmic Ray is competing with the Tharg of the late 1970's, not todays! because as we all know IDPC Fleetson ceased trading in the 1990's.

No, glad people are liking it. Hopefully I'll shift a few at Winterfest in London, get some new readers.

Cheers
