Hello and welcome to the board.

I notice the Phantom Patrol is copyrighted to IPC. That used to be Fleetway, right?

Do IPC currently publish any comics, and if not, how did Steve Holland talk them into agreeing to the reprint?

Hello and welcome to the board.

Mickey Rourke or Ron Perlman.

Another big fan here. I've got to pick up the bulk of the Outland strips and anything that followed that (an Opus strip, I think?)to complete the set. Probably won't buy the IDW books though.

I've got the Billy and The Boingers record somewhere, but have never been able to play it, living, as I do, in a deck-free world.

A bunch of old D.C.T. Warlords for indexing purposes (and finding it mighty hard to get excited about them), and an old Terry Carr's Best Science Fiction of the Year. Some good stuff in that.

Hello Mahendra, and welcome aboard.

Hello, and welcome.

He's now been accused of being a dealer as well, and has been using the show to whack his competitors.

Well, I think I've finally ided the artist. Adrian D. Beeton, listed here:

Useful resource. Does the name ring any more bells now, and does anyone know how I could get in touch with Julia Hayden as I'd like to compare notes?

Here's the artwork yet again, as the first version hasn't survived the forum change.

Hi. Nice art. Where does the avatar come from?

Hello, and Welcome aboard.

The GCD lists titles as per what's printed on the indicia inside, and not what necessarily appears on the cover. So check the indicia and try again would be my advice.

I remember the weekly from '79 and am pleased to hear they are reprinting the Black Knight stories (hope they keep them in BW). I pretty much gave up on Marvel UK after this mag folded and Dr Who went monthly.

As for the 1982 mag, you could also try e-bay:

Le Bad News:

Astarloza has just failed a doping test for EPO and been suspended. He had finished 11th in the overall GC. What happens next depends on the results of his B-sample. It was actually a pre-tour test sample which came back positive, so presumably testing on tour samples in general has not begun yet?

I didn't mention the D word during the tour as I only wanted to talk about the racing. The following article, posted a couple of days after the end of the tour, did make me feel queasy though:

We haven't necessarily heard the end of the tour.

Robert Millar was the only other Brit to finish as high as fourth, back in 1984.

The final number of riders to drop out this year was 24, with 156 finishing the race.
