Damned right! He'll fix it as soon as he finishes painting my house.

While we're having a moan, is anyone else being plagued with pop-up ads on the board? I've run Spybot & Ad-aware, so I know it's not a spyware thing...

Hey, Zep: Wake has a full-time job AND a family too you know. He can only update the shop when he is given the right info by Rebellion.

i mailed rebelion on this ages ago.

they explained they where very busy with DREDDCON at the time.(that was the last one in 2002)and they would be following up soon after.
its september now.i think its rebellion not wake.

but considering the current game production problems i think we should be patient.they must be up to their eyeballs at this time after that nightmare.

I thought Zep was talking profile pages rather then the shop...
If Wake's got the data then he usually gets it on the site pretty swiftly.
Zep, which GNs are missing - maybe those who have them can fill in the story/pagecount/creators data.

I'll be pestering Rebellion for cover images of their line of GNs soon. As for Titan books, since Jamie left Titan for Rebellion, I don't have anyone to contact at Titan for cover images, and I admit I haven't trawled Amazon recently to see what's coming.

I emailed Titan Books yesterday, and got a reply back from someone who said he'd FTP me the cover scans I need. I'll email him again in a few days if I haven't had anything by then.

Cheers,

Wake

great thanks a lot wake. do i assume youve left out story details for dreddvdeath paperback because their the same as the hardback? anyone else know? is that the same for day law died?

You wouldn't believe how many emails I exchanged with the guy at Titan to try and get images of high enough quality for this site. I'm still not happy with the result, but at least they are better than the ones on Amazon.

Several graphic novels are missing their contents details. Please help me fill them in. I don't know if the Dredd vs Death paperback is the same as the recent Dredd vs Death deluxe hardback or the previous Dredd vs Death paperback (which also included a non-Bolland story).

I'm also missing lots of reprint details for annuals, etc.

Wake - the Dredd feat. Death PB *is* identical to Titan's DfD hardback, save for the cover.

Email me offlist and I'll see if you've got the right contact @ Titan, and I'll sort out some cover images for you.

As to the Rebellion books, apologies again for the delays, but things are very much rolling now - NECRONAUTS is in transit to us; BUTTON MAN goes in a couple of days; HEWLIGAN'S will be printed next week (so around a fortnight til its in stores); YOUNG DEATH and then the MAKING OF JD:DvsD will follow hot on their heels. DURHAM RED, DREDD/ALIENS: INCUBUS (replete with intro by Simon Pegg!) and BANZAI BATTALION are all on schedule to appear at the end of their respective months (Oct/Nov/Dec).

Next year, I think it's safe to say that we'll be on track from the get-go :)
