Forthcoming Thrills!

for those of you wanting novels and actual books- you could do worse than check www.readitswapit.co.uk. It is a book swapping site that I've been using for a goodly number of years. Every so often 2000 AD related material shows up for swap. There are some of the Virgin books there for sure.

If anybody wants a copy of the Dante books I have an omnibus they are welcome to.

Not at all. I don't think it had been posted anywhere here abouts, and you are not alone in your Meg'less'ness

Coming in a couple of months time according to Previews. Anyone any idea who's behind this:

That'd be Tony Lee & Simon Harrison for you there Cosh.

David Roach has just posted the following on Facebook:

QuoteHi Arthur- thanks for friending me... if that's the correct term? I'm drawing your Dredd Story "Inversion" and I'm sure I'm going to have a great time- it's bloomin' hard though!

For real? That'd be 50% the best thing ever and 50% the worst decision Tharg's ever made. Not necessarily in that order.

I wonder whether 1947 is an actual serial or a Past Imperfect or something. If it's a serial, Tharg really did sneak one under the radar.

Stevie's money is on it being part of a second season of Tharg's Thr3llers, what with Gunheads being a three parter & all.

But more importantly, sincere apologies to the Wyatt & Roach droids for pasting verbatim a FB post in his excitement instead of summarising the relevance of said post.

About 10 minutes after doing so Stevie realised that was a real Rich Johnson kind of thing to do.
