Now they can do that crossover I wanted that has him beating up The Wolf of Wall Street.

I loved the Leopard. Back then there were no british superheroes who were by day just ordinary boys. The kids could identify with Billy Farmer. It was the same kind of theme Stan Lee used with the original Spiderman.

And then Grant Morrison happened, and brutally killed Billy off. :lol:

Damn, just saw this. I'd love to see some Oink! reprints. Also I'd love to revisit some of the Crisis and Revolver stuff. Loved its earnestness and its willingness to go in weird directions. I think 3WW was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. I remember it tackling corporate greed a lot and it seems the mainstream has only just noticed that's actually a thing in the last ten years or so.

Does anyone know if Doomlord will now be reprinted in whole at long bleeding last?!  :)

Doomlord's owned by the Dan Dare Corporation.

Thanks for letting me know mate. Do we lobby them then? Surely this would be a seller? The excellent Hibernia Press did a grand job but there is so much Doomlord to read and enjoy. Really loved that series as a kid.  :)

I've long called for this very thing. The only thing I'm consious of is the Hibernia book (which is bloody brilliant) hasn't sold out, when so many other have. Now I don't know if this is cos it had a larger print run (can you answer that MaryandDavid?) but doesn't bode well. Its such a shame as I'd buy the crap out of such a book. The Hibernia release just shows how fantastic this 'lost' treasure is.

Michael Knight

Colin mate i couldn't agree more with you. I'm intrigued about the print run for this. Mary and Davids work on their titles has been superb. The only one i havny managed to get my hands on is the The thirteenth floor volume 1. Would love a reprint of this

maryanddavid

Colin, yup, I learnt a lot on the Doomlord book it was the first collection I did, I printed far too many but it sold well.

What's contained in the Doomlord book?  I've still got my Eagles so am wondering which storyline/s you collected.

p.s. does anybody know who owns that story about cowboys going into the past to hunt dinosaurs (not at all based on Flesh, honest)?

maryanddavid

That's Bloodfang (First one) by W&G and Bakie, and coincidently I gave the collected one from the Best of Eagle to my lad this eve. DDC own it.
My Doomlord is a collection of the first drawn storyline, 'The Deathlords of Nox'

Wow why have I never heard of this, how have I never heard of this. Having had a look into it (well reading the Wikipaedia entry!) it sounds right up my street AND with Jim Baike art. Good gosh. To eBay and Best of Eagle 6...

Michael Knight

Thanks MaryandDavid. I too had never heard of that.  :)
