Well that was just class. The whole story was blistering but the full prog episode was really superb. It allowed the strip run to expand to its fullest and Abnett created a story that exploited that fact. It had a real sense of timing and drama and the desperate flight of Demi and Finnegan had room to generate real tension. 

I really wish I'd read this back in the day as I suspect that this brilliantly crafted chapter of Sinister Dexter would have felt all the more powerful. The epilogue was really well done and the emotional impact of the tale really hit home. I'm wondering whether people who read it as it happened thought that it really was the end of Sinister Dexter???

Wasn't happy with the inking of Blackhawk, so I went for this -

IS there any reminance of it so we can at least see? I'm loving the pencils.

Cos he's so much hotter than Cyan Tor????

and hope no one notices.

Oops.

Arh yeah but you guys won't tell anyone else now will ya...

I'm going to add my voice here to the calls for the post FS SD's strips to be reprinted, even if just as a series of floppys with the Meg. I had the pleasure of seeing a couple of Nigels pages from the series at BICS and if the jammy get who bought the one I wanted hadn't, then I would have a hell of a page on my front room wall by now

There's a number of these strips that I really like, as you say some glorious art by Nigel Dobbyn. The trouble is I do feel (as I've commented elsewhere) that Peter Hogan's plans were somewhat tramped upon by David Bishop giving him the chop. In my mind, without the full facts at all, this was a terrible shame.

Out of interest Grant (and apologise if you've posted about this already) but in response to your letter (I think it was it might just have been in the editorial?) a wee while ago Tharg said to contact him if you are still having any problems getting stuff in America. Have you done this? Its occured to me that you might not even have seen that issue yet to know Tharg wants the info sending???

If you have sent specific info have you heard back?

While I don't eat monkey cocks I do, through shear laziness often have the socks and sandles thing in common with the Romans. Now I know this is a bad thing and I'd never do it for more than say 10 minutes BUT if I'm just popping to the shop down the road, putting the bins out or say hanging out the washing its so much easier just to slip into those sandles and hope no one notices.

Distribution needs to be sorted before anything has a chance to get started. Grant how are things over there at the moment????

A 'silver surfer' is an octogenarian who attempts to pick up women.

I thought it was an octogenarian that cruised the internet, which of course could amount to the same thing?

Something about this makes me think of Cam Kennedy ... which immediately makes it a win in my book.

That's cos he clearly drew the chin...

Arh that takes me back. Our little Indie is 18 months old now but she too could wield the power of uber cute

I know, I know, it's been brought up many times. But here it is again:  Do you consider him dead?  Should the whole thing be forgotten about?

Me, I think the Final Solution was a great story and a fitting and epic death, so as as far  as I'm concerned, he's dead. I have no problem with the current crop of 'missing' stories, but if you ask me,the dog is toast, homes.

I wasn't aware that this was even a point of debate??? I thought (and I have to be honest I'm not sure why I think I've read this but I do) while John Wagner doesn't necessarily think it was the right thing to do to kill Johnny off he respects the fact that Alan Grant did this and will stand by it. Hence the retrospective new stories.

Just one volume collecting all the Wagner/Grant ones.

Would love to see this one and also a Harlem Heroes (original series).

I'd also like to see more stuff from the Meg as I don't get it but there are a few things that I'd love to read, Inserection and these Untold Tales stories currently running among them.

Oh and a Missionary Man omnibus.

I have now missed 2 Progs in a row. It's getting increasingly difficult for me to get to the shops midweek, and if I go into town at the weekend it's a special trip just to get 2000ad.

I'm going to have to turn to Tharg's Future Shop for my missing issues anyway, so I think it may be time I started subscribing again.

Looking at the subscription ad it would appear the only way to exercise the £130 one-off payment option to receive both titles is to send a cheque to the warehouse in Malden. Or is it possible to do this by credit card over the phone? The subscription ad doesn't say so.

I paid for mine over the phone about 4 months ago now so unless somethings changed hopefully shouldn't be a problem. Also as I recall Denise lets you pick the issue you want to start from so you may well be able to include the issues you're missing into your subscription rather than make a seperate payment for them.
