Cool read, I'll have to check out some Power Pack now! I've been enjoying Claremont X-Men, I'm in the 170s, and Power Pack #27 is coming up in a crossover there. And Louise Simonson sounds cool on podcasts, seems like the 80s was a real high point for Marvel.

Hi,have been clearing out my attic as I need to declutter and check for leaks and came across the remenants of my early 2000's prog collection
Sadly the majority of these are now on the way to the recycling center as all my local charity shop have refused them,but I did keep to one side a battered copy of prog 1208 if any-one wants to buy/trade for one to complete their collection
Thanks
Matt

I think it was something John said in relation to Doomlord, that DDC said they had the rights but couldn't offer any proof, but it was more bother than it was worth trying to settle the issue.

(Apologies if I'm mistaken)

It might have been expanded upon in the Fleetway Files - there's a brief mention of rights in this article at the bottom, but in this case it's slightly different and in relation to Dan Dare

I've seen that said somewhere before, but Rebellion couldn't be bothered to litigate it.

Think it was in a John Wagner interview?

Jesper is brilliant isn't he?

Your write-up is reminding me of how much fun this book is, I should give it another read soon. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do next!

This post makes me want to go buy Power Pack. But I know I own Power Pack in a longbox already. Oh I wonder how much effort it would be to find them. And which I have. Not a complete run I don't think. But enough to stop me spaffing ££ on eBay today that's for sure. The TBPs would have to be complete for me to go that route. No Epics, Marvel? Come on!

Understandable!

I don't like superhero comics but I enjoyed it a very great deal - at least the first arc, which writes its young protagonists really well imo. After that it kind of loses its self-contained universe nature, folds into the Marvel Universe and becomes mediocre.

I keep expecting the Angel Gang to turn up - it's a universe made for them. Well, apart from the fact that there's already a universe made for them.

And yeah, the Dead Man definitely crossed my mind too, though he smiles a lot more than Dredd ever did.
