I met up with Damian Lubanski before the Southern contingent Christmas gathering to chat about Polish editions of 2000AD, attending signings, and The Simping Detective.

That's Harvey, not Dredd!

D'oh! Can't see for looking. I should get myself to Specsavers.

 

Cover is by Luke Preece and looks great, although there may be some chat about Dredd's back armour.

Machine Law continues to drop bombshells on us.

And we find out more about why Jaegir is in the Bonegrinder.

Plus 6 letters for the Beast.

Space Spinner 2000 has reached Livin' on a prayer?

I thought we'd only be about...

...we'd be half way there...

...at most

Woah! Nice work, sir. 👏

Excellent
Thanks for sharing this.
Calvin and Hobbes is one of the greatest sequential art creations of all time.

Ghost Story

A kind of anthology. Quite good, if a bit silly in places. Genuinely spooked me a bit and made me jump in places. Particularly the first 'case' with Paul Whitehouse.(I'm a big girl's blouse where ghost stories are concerned. I think a lot of what me makes me jump isn't so much the ghoulish appearance as the loud sound affects, though.)

It ended in a rather odd way... but its worth a watch if you like this kind of thing.

Oh, nice little homage to The Evil Dead films in 'Case 2'.

Saw this in the cinema last year and it creeped me out. Particularly because there was a woman sitting in the front corner of the cinema who was fiddling with her bag all the time and I managed to convince myself that she was getting ready for some sort of audience jump scare like they did at the stage show, or in the Woman in Black. She wasn't btw, she was just searching her bag for something.


Free Solo. Possibly the most scared I have been in a cinema for years.  Really sweaty palms, and to think that I used to do a bit of climbing for a while. Urggh.

And here is a Kev Walker grail page for Julius

If you're missing the Inky Fingers podcast then have no fear Julius Howe is here. We met up in one of those noisy London pubs to discuss original art collecting, the artistic legacy of Carlos Ezquerra, and volume 3 of the ABC Warriors Mek Files.
