A comic with a great script but mediocre to rough art (eg. The O Men, The Promised Neverland) is better than a story with great art but not so great script writing (eg. Savage). Sometimes you get the best of both, sometimes you get American Reaper. They can't all be winners!

Alan's bold stance on creators' rights gladdens the heart.

How strange, though, that he didn't try to reform a system he feels so strongly about while he was still part of 2000AD editorial.  Or that he actively enforced work-for-hire practices on other creators while apparently privately trying to ensure those same conditions didn't apply to him.

Quite. To put it charitably, he is a bit inconsistent on the issue,

Or him claiming the creators' rights mantle, while also saying he's the sole creator or the work, thus actively trying to screw John Ridgeway out of any participation in the rights.

Alan Moore, he ain't.

Aye, artists seem to get frequently fucked over for creative rights.

'Grabs popcorn'

Not sure about Steel Claw or Robot Archie, but DC still own The Spider I think.

Dan Dare Corp. and they're ruthless about who does and doesn't get a peep at their comics.

Now trending... #2KEXIT.

Make sure it's a soft one*.

*Cure Pete Well's incandescent snickering in the back.

Scavenging screen-grab scraps from people's FB pages.

Classy.

Eeerrr, sorry Gordon but you DID see the bit in the post where McManus said he was cool with it? And, not to speak presumptuously, but I hardly think John Smith woult have umbrage with it either...

On the matter itself, blimey, what a view into the mouth if madness. Smith as manager?! The comic would be printed on technicolour card to induce trippy experiences.

Jovus grud! Rebellion are on a roll!

Well Mayors gone again...should we have a revolving door installed?

By jove indeed! Drastic actions for desperate times!

Hope all's well Burdis and that this isn't the result of some kind of mad hijacking!

Oh man, yes! I'll be buying this thank you very much!

Well it's been a while! But me and Jim have been continuing to beaver away at the best damn anthologies on the planet! So for your audio pleasure, here is Weekly Comics Monthly #13 (and do be sure to check out numbers 10 through 12 as well!)...

Many thanks once again to Adventurer for the editing and the rest of the top notch work he puts into the podcast!

So what do I do when i'm bored stiff packing? Catalog all my BD's/DVD's online. Oh aren't I exciting...

This isn't everything, mind. Still have a lot of stuff to add.

Well i've just worked my way through another glorious volume of Usagi Yojimbo Saga, the second. It really is all rather special, not a duff issue in the whole (huge!) book.

Just spotted CHAPPIE in the bottom right hand corner, and Ex Machina behind Daft Punk.
