Funnily enough I was looking on Amazon for Leo Baxendale stuff (in particular Willy the Kid) and was suprised to see very little available. I would have thought such a famous comics artist would have more out there.

I would love to see Leo Baxendale's stuff collected.
It's a joke. I was joking.

I'd love to see Combat Colin and Robo-Capers. And also a time machine that would let me put in a higher bid for the Robo-Capers art I narrowly lost on eBay recently.

Hello, dear Ebay enemy.

I want the Sweeny Toddler Case Files and The Leopard from Lime Street omnibus.

Leopard from Lime Street! Oh yes!  I remember it well; I found a site a couple of years back that had scanned the first episode and it was brilliant...

Ha! Was that you? I was after the robot contest (jumping over the hurdle, etc.)

I actually didn't get it either, but picked up a very early 'Tom Thug' from that batch Lew had up.
He's had some amazing stuff to choose from lately...funding being my only obstacle in snagging the lot!

You can buy the collected Willy The Kid direct from Leo over at his website
http://www.reaper.co.uk/bksnprn/books.htm
but be warned - it makes the Zenith collection look cheap!
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

I understand Egmont own the rights to all the Fleetway/IPC stuff Rebellion didn't get, with the exception of Dan Dare.

Any of us could theoretically license it from them. If we do, let's start with Scream!

When you publish it, I'll buy it.  Here's the scans to help you out:

I've got the 13th Floor collection from Hibernia(?).

I loved Scream! Such a shame that it folded so quickly.

My favourite story was The Dracula Files; it had some great artwork by Eric Bradbury.

Another classic British comic strip that I'd love to see reprinted is The Tower King from Eagle.

And I assume that Rebellion must hold the rights to Time Quake; that was another Starlord strip that made the jump to 2000AD, but without the success that Strontium Dog and Ro-Busters were to enjoy.

You could probably fit the whole run of Starlord into one bumper book of sci-fi goodness. Now THAT I'd buy.

^This.  Never read the Starlord stuff and current options seem to be searching through ebay or using not very legit torrents.  I'd love to have a reprint book instead.

Oh yes, i loved that strip back then. Fun to read that opening episode again.

Don't think so - i think that was solely in Starlord - only the 2 strips crossed over.

Nope. Timequake made a brief appearance in the Galaxy's Greatest.
