Most surprised to find this (& new meg) at my local thrill merchant this morning, even more so to find my top cover in there.

Looking very nice but the wife has banned me from reading it properly as I'm supposed to be at work soonly and don't want to spoil it for anyone but Stickleback just looks fatnastic!

And to top it all, postie has delivered me a copy of Asylum as a prize from Tharg the Generous for my top cover suggestion. 'Tis a day of thrills.

Rex Banner · 08 December, 2007, 06:34:50 PM

I'd take it that the post is slower in Glasgow. ;)

Any chance of a list of those who were picked?

Rex Banner · 10 December, 2007, 06:56:02 AM

Certainly.

Alex Frith, Rehan Mirza, Ivan Waldock, Richard Wood, James Mackay, Ashley Beeching, Steve Longdon, David Page, Mark Wilson, Mike Donachie and John Burdis.

And I'm still banned from reading it!

Hey Matthewvic, I know a few good solicitors. I reckon we could get a quickie divorce done and dusted by the end of the week!

Rex Banner · 10 December, 2007, 07:18:47 AM

Nah, that's alright. The wife makes a good argument that it wasn't due for another three days and it is supposed to last until the New Year. Plus if I got divorced my almost complete collection of Tooth would suddenly get halved.

Pete Wells · 10 December, 2007, 07:39:21 AM

Hmmm yeah. My lovely Michelle takes great pleasure in telling me that if I ever misbehave my progs and original artwork will be the first to go... yikes!

Pete instead of divorce I am sure a little accident could be arranged ;)

Nice to know my letter made the grade also.I'd like to thank Tharg very much for the Bad Company GN, it's one of my favourite strips from yesteryear.
This competition got me in a very wistful and nostalgic frame of mind and my entry reflected this. Thanks again green bonce.

Read Strontium dog in Nostalgia and comics - looking good - starts off one way, that seems as if its going to be the main thriust of the story, then suddenly you're in the thick of it!

Hoping my Black dossier turns up soon to keep me thrilled until part 2!

Wils · 10 December, 2007, 01:26:44 PM

Got my letter from Tharg (hand signed, too!) and a copy of Bad Company for my fave cover submission. Probably have to wait till Wednesday before I actually see the prog, though.

'I am sure a little accident could be arranged'

Police were called to a house earlier today to find a housewife crushed under a bookcase. Her husband said 'When I left for work she was happily arranging my graphic novels. It appears she made the mistake of mixing Titan, Hamlyn and Rebellion together and the shelves just couldn't take it.'
