John Wagner announced awhile back that a collected edition of The Bogie Man will be launched on Kickstarter in the Summer & to help promote this he has just put this up on Facebook
HERE'S LOOKIN' AT YOU, KID --
in a retro Bogie Man T-shirt. Yes, prior to the launch of the Collection later this year we're offering this full-colour, limited edition shirt. The image is printed on a good quality dark grey shirt - not black as pictured below - and retails for £25 plus p&p. If you'd like one just message me giving size and address.
The image on the tshirt is of the cover for issue 2 of the original mini series
The only bits of Bogie Man I've ever read was a little in Toxic. As a kid I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I'm definitely interested in this.

150% funded in an hour and forty-five minutes. Not bad... :)
Backed for a HC 👍🏻
Good to see it getting off to a good start. Hopefully it goes even higher.
Now it's doubled its target - brilliant but I'm sure they'd like it to do more with 44 days to go!
John Wagner just said on Facebook that he has some copies of the Mike Perkins cover as an A3 print either colour or black & white for just £15 +p&p If interested contact him via his Facebook page
Love that trailer - the few minutes of it are better than the whole Robbie Coltrane series. Is that John Wagner doing Bogie's voiceover?
Ha! Brilliant.
My hardback copy arrived today and very nice it is too! Haven't read the earlier stories and thoroughly enjoying it so far.

Yes - me too - the hardback is very nicely presented, they've done a good job. Lots of lovely crisp black and white art by Robin Smith.
I got the T Shirt too!

Now finished it: this is one of the funniest comics I've ever read.
Lovely edition and I'm glad the KS seemed to go well - hopefully this will mean another volume of Rok!

I'm 1/2 way through and enjoying the Scot's slang - hope everyone else gets most of the jokes.
Hopefully the success encourages Mr Wagner to do a 3rd Volume of RoK ( I'd even double dip and get HCs of vol 1 & 2 if on offer)
I'd be happy if it was a final instalment and sees the Reds win a top prize - league or Champions league and of course Kyle helping Scotland qualify for a World Cup 😂😂😂😂
Hello, 2000 AD Message Board Minions, it's me. I came back to say this book is amazing and everyone should buy one. That is all. You have your instructions.

Trout. Troutie, Trout, Troutface. The once regal fish. Its lovely to see you here. I mean I see the occasional missive on FB but this always feels like your natural home and I'm happy to see you swimming free.
Halfway through the collection and thoroughly enjoying it. Smith's art is really strong here and the whole thing is even funnier than I expected. Going to lend it to my dad, I think he'll get a kick out of all the Scots humour.
My favourite part though has been John Wagner's little biog of himself at the end of the book. It's about the most John Wagnery thing I've ever read - perfectly pitched and dry as a bone!
Somehow I missed all news of this being released, thankfully just managed to get a copy from Gosh Comics.
