Er, no - its not too clear but the fossilised tire tracks are meant to be the same one's you see when we cut back in time. So the excavation is where that Base was and not further on along the trail

That's Call-Me-Kenneth decapitated on the base, yes?
He looks good but that's all that can really be said so far.
Aside from, why stripes on the boots?

Agree totally - but prefer the short and snappy dialogue, making  for even more of a 70's feel to it. Which can only be a very, very good thing 

"There's no biodiversity in the late Cretaceous. Ninety-five per cent of the biomass is triceratops and t-rexes." Based on what evidence? The fossils found by palaeontologists at a single dig site in Montana"
Took that to mean that he'd found no biowotsit in the Cretaceous layer of that specific dig.

Yeah, that's ringing a bell somewhere. Wasn't he a guy and a shop?
And sure it was Skinny Molink - as in the slang

A real good start to the new Flesh Book (1.5?), having a proper 1976 feel to it. Getting the feeling we're going to get introductions to characters in the same vein as DeFoe, with them popping off in much the same way.
Dinosaurs looked GREAT (although do miss the now totally inaccurate T-Rex's of the original) and the rest of the arts nice (very early Boo Cook IMO) but wish the inking had been done in a lot of places with a finer line.
Oh, and the T-Rex with his head covered with gore was terrific. But then i always liked redheads.

Yeah, what Dylan said about True Grit. After the amazingly suspenseful scenes in No Country For Old Men, was kind of expecting the same sort of intensity here. The build ups there, but just didn't happen.

A tie between Fargo and Millers Crossing - with Fargo just nudging it.

Blimey, they take me back - had both of 'em. Wish i still had them now 

A good game is to get that 1975 "Daily Mirror Book Of Garth" and read it alongside the Titan collections and compare and contrast on just where the 70's book was censored - clothes crudely drawn on ladies *bits* and, in some cases, even whole panels vanishing.
Its odd - they censored a collection as they were putting it out at Christmas and maybe feared it'd be bought as a kiddies annual, but the uncensored originals were still plopping onto the doormat every morning.
Anyway, nicely suprised to see they're starting with a non-reprinted tale. there's a wee bit of colouring, which i'm guessing some folk will think is heresey, but i can see why they did it to make it blend in with the other strips and its quite subtle.
So, Daily Mirror for me each day now  and will be putting them into binder in case there is no collection

Oh, happy day today - the big fella returns in print in the Daily Mirror.
He made a HUGE impression on me in the 70's, what with Frank Bellamy's stunning art and the many examples of *ahem* the female form.
Such a crime they got rid of him, with the Web only project a couple of years back not being the same.
So, the fellas back and it looks like it'll be reprints (not got mine yet, still having breakfast), which does raise the question:
If they start reprinting stories that have never been reprinted before, will there be a graphic novel at some point?
Or do i start cutting them out again and collecting like i did in the 70's?

Always Avengers - blame the obsession with Mighty World Of Marvel in the 70's.

Great article on one of the shamefully overlooked greats. Top work for me were the huge amount of Commando covers, Robusters and Timescape in Starlord and that never published Blakes 7 strip set after the end of series 3 when Servalan had merged with the wreck of the Liberator.
Hope you don't mind, but have put a link to the piece on me Blog

Flippin' 'eck - Thrill Power Overload or what? 

Well, its advertised in the back, along with the Major Easy and Rat Pack collections. But no dates given.
