What Colin said.

What Colin said.

Mind Wars was a great Starlord series.

Mind Wars was definitely my favourite Starlord series which didn't have a life outside its bi-weekly pages (apart from a forgettable prologue in one of the annuals, if memory serves?)

[Hawkmumbler]

I know their are a few fans of Mind of Wolfy Smith around here so that seems a good choice to collect.

Planet of the Damned & Death Planet

Beyond the Bermuda Triangle lies a world so hostile to human beings that those stranded there know it as 'The Planet Of the Damned!' When a Tri-Star jet crashes on this treacherous world, the survivors find themselves being relentlessly attacked by all forms native flora and fauna, including the monstrous Ab-humans. Fortunately they are discovered by Flint - another human resident stranded on this world long ago. With their axe-wielding guide in taking charge, some of the survivors may just find a way to return home alive! It's the 23rd century and the starship Eternity sets out from Earth carrying a cargo of colonists bound for new lives on distant worlds. When the ship is knocked off course, crashing on an unknown alien planet, Commander Lorna Varn and colonist leader Richard Cory must set aside their differences and work together to keep everyone alive.

Goldtiger- a candidate for serialisation in the Megs creator owned slot?

Amazon UK link:


Goldtiger (Antonio Barreti's Goldtiger) Paperback, 10th March 2016, 128 pages

THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE 60s GREATEST UNSEEN COMIC Of all the Sixties newspaper strips one of the most discussed yet rarely read has to be Antonio Barreti and Louis Shaeffer's answer to MODESTY BLAISE: GOLDTIGER. Uncollected until today, this astonishing book lifts the lid on comics' most unsung creation and also reveals its incredible connection to British Comics Icon and the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, 2000 AD! REALLY? HOW STRANGE... I KNOW A LOT ABOUT COMICS BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE Working with Shaeffer, a writer entrenched in the world of crime and sci-fi pulp magazines, Barreti produced the first serial in its entirety. Unfortunately the strip was deemed too sensational (not least because both of its main characters were openly homosexual) and publication was cancelled. This caused a mental breakdown for the artist. Not one to let insanity hold him back, Barreti continued to produce GOLDTIGER strips, with Shaeffer posting the artist his scripts. IT'S ALMOST AS IF YOU INVENTED THE WHOLE THING AND EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID WAS A PACK OF LIES. Louis Shaeffer is believed to have died off the coast of Corfu in 1972 and, after his release from care, Barreti vanished altogether. At least the majority of their work remains, perhaps in time to gain a whole new audience. Using extensive restoration techniques and after many years of scouring the archives, GOLDTIGER is ready to be presented again, complete from the very beginning, starting with their debut adventure THE POSEIDON COMPLEX. GOLDTIGER NEVER REALLY EXISTED AT ALL DID IT? If it didn't before, it does now. This first volume of collected strips is a lavish affair, combining the full debut adventure with 'behind the scenes' material: letters, scripts, interviews, sketches... all documenting the creation of the strip and the outlandish lives of its creators and their unbelievable brush with 2000 AD.

[Grant Goggans]

Goldtiger sounds terrific.  I love "secret histories" and can't wait to learn more.

[Big_Dave]

so is goldtiger the same
kind of deal as gunheadz?

[Bat King]

Probably only in the Dame way that Gunheadz was similar to Watchmen.

I have just ordered the upcoming 'Dan Dare' hardcover and was very pleased to see that five of the extra stories from Specials and Annuals will be included. By my reckoning, if text-only stories are omitted, that leaves three of these other stories to be collected in volume two (from 2000ad Annuals 1979, 1980 and Dan Dare Annual 1980). Just wondered if Robo-K33f could confirm these additional three will make the final cut for all us completists out there?
Thanks!

Now up on Amazon UK for pre-order:

Metalzoic - Hardcover, 10th November 2015, 144 pages, DC Comics.

Is this confirmed as a hardback?

Maybe it's part of DC Deluxe like they did with new edition of Marshal Law.

Dan Dare - The 2000 AD Origin

Probably the best 2000ad Dare story IMO. Art by Trevor Goring I think.
