Well, won't be able to tell you all about the Titan reprints any more, cos I'm leaving.

Instead, I'm hoping that I'll be able to announce a whole bunch of new titles sometime soon, because as of Monday, I'm Graphic Novels Editor droid at Rebellion.

Watch this space.

...is irrepressible!

SPIRAL (aka VORTEX/UZUMAKI), based on Junji Ito's excellent and chilling manga, UZUMAKI... and Tsui Hark's LEGEND OF ZU, a remake of his own earlier wire-fu classic ZU WARRIORS FROM THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN.

On the off-chance anyone *liked* the art in the new Terror Tale (Prog 1311), more bits of Roger can be found here:-

New Warren Ellis "rescue fiction" series from DC/WildStorm; each issue to be pencilled by a different person. Of interest why? Because the first couple of issues will include Garry Leach and Glenn Fabry, that's why...

From Col. Marbles:-

"Still, it is frankly a *catastrophe* that large swathes of the 2k story can never be reprinted - which is the gist of what people are saying if I've correctly interpreted all that's been said here ? "

No, no, no. The film for some parts of 2K is missing, but can be sourced from an astonishing variety of places, not least the 2K archive which also contains 2K's own reprints of things. Even when film isn't available, scanning is a possibility; although there is generally a loss of quality in comparison to film. However, scanning is pretty expensive (to get done properly, at least); which leads us to your next point.

"Give high quality reprints are out of the question, I still don't see why they can't scan the originals as best they can, reprint 'em on cheapo paper and bung 'em out in big fat volumes in 'Essentials' style. People will accept the poor quality for completeness if the price is right ??"

Because the scanning pretty much ensures that the price *isn't* right, and *won't ever be* right.

From Arthur Wyatt:-

"Titan reprinted a lot of B&W Dredd, any chance of seeing that anytime soon? My personal preference would be for books covering the major early Dredd storylines - The Cursed Earth, Judge Cal, The Apocalypse War, The Judge Child, hopefully not split up into slim volumes."

Following Judge Dredd feat. Judge Death, there's an as-complete-as-possible Cursed Earth hardback about to hit stores, soon to be followed with a complete Judge Cal hardback - and no doubt the Apoc War and Judge Child will follow next year, in the same format.

"I believe there is a was book combining Nemesis books 1-3 already, it would be nice to see this again as well as maybe some large volumes covering the later books of nemesis (I'd love to see the Talbot stuff again, for instance)"

All in good time! "Death to All Aliens" (hardcover) will collect (likely as not, now) the old Titan Books 1&2 - i.e. Nemesis Books 1 & 3 (avoiding Jesus Redondo's book 2). There will be more Nemesis subsequently.

"Also I'd be very interested in seeing Alan Moore's Twisted Times and Alan Moore's Shocking Futures - or whatever they were called - combined into a single volume. Given his popularity this would seem pretty commercially viable."

Naturally. With a little luck, this will make an appearance next year.

Hello all.

I'm the editorial assistant here at Titan, and have noticed one or two comments about the 2000AD reprints we've been producing popping up along the various threads here.

If you have any comments about Titan stuff, feel free to email them to reader.feedback@titanemail.com

And I'll get back to you ASAP. Do feel free to send reprint requests, and such, but I can't make any promises on whether or not they'll appear...!

Anyway, hope you're enjoying the books...
