Reading Lance Parkin's biography of Alan Moore, Magic Words. If the figures bandied about in here are true, the bearded one is worth a bob or two. A good read though, showing all sides to the various disputes he has had with companies and people over the decades. It's never quite so clear cut as you think, is it?

nice Pertwee filip!

RED 2 - a fun Friday night flick with an all star cast. Sod all to do with the book (but then neither was the first one) and much better for it. Recommended, preferably with a few beers.

(and that Candlish is a relentless pimp doesn't hurt, either)

It's funny, 'cos it's true 

Fans of the old ITC shows from the 60s will be sad to read that the female lead from The Champions - Alexandra Bastedo - has died aged 67 from cancer

I recognise a lot of the names on that cover - great stuff!

Any annual readers notice the bookshelf behind the Doctor in the 4D strip?



They weren't in the script!

As a kid I devoured every new Asterix book but now that I'm forty-something I find I have more Tintin in my collection.
Basically, they're both great.

This annual is fantastic, Dave - the Jikan strip worth the cover price alone in my humble opinion. Congratulations on yet another release, you're more prolific than some mainstream publishers I could mention!

It's always great getting feedback 

Have you got yours delivered yet? What do others think?

Cheers Link Prime - hope you enjoy it

And here's what John Freeman said about it over at his Down The Tubes site

Yeah it's brilliant.

When you first read it, you do think 'Eh?! Wasn't expecting that!'
Then read it again. It's perfect. And such fantastic art.

Iiiiin 3rd - 1837 I just love that colouring (the only other artist I recall using that shade purple is Don Lawrence - what a co-incidence!  )

Iiiin 2nd - 1836 - brilliant composition

Iiiin 1st place 1821 - it's BOLLAND!!

It does look fantastic, doesn't it?

Just finished reading Long John Silver Book IV. Didn't go the way I expected but still a blooming marvellous read. This may very well be my favourite Cinebook in the whole range and that's some stiff competition. Highly recommended with wonderful art.

Cheers Proudhuff!

Man Of Steel

It passed a couple of hours amiably enough but was such an overdose of CGI spectacle that you didn't really care for the characters, which is why I still prefer the 70s movie.
Christopher Reeve is still Superman.
(And it wasn't help by Mrs C pointing out that Zod looked liked Adam Klaus out of Jonathan Creek)
