Forthcoming Thrills - 2024

[Funt Solo]

I think in this weeks Thrill-Mail they actually said they were from the Eagle reprints

Blimey! Well, let's hope they don't follow the reprints too closely...!

Evidence of crimes against comics (or CAC) right there.

That's so bad it's funny. The top two panels look like a bad AI attempt to recreate the original.

I'd love to be surprised, but I wouldn't hold up too much hope that it's much more than just the Eagle reprints scanned and made into a trade.

I have it on good authority, having liaised with the Rebellion team, that although this book will follow the Eagle Comics' colouring scheme, it will be tweaked so that the page ratio issues are addressed. I am reasonably reassured and will be going ahead with this purchase.

Let us know what you think. The colours shown in the screenshots in this thread put me off rather! I think B&W Carlos art should take colour quite well so I'd love to see it re-coloured using a more modern approach. Not enough money in it I suppose, shame.

As part of Rebellion's continuing mission to hook a whole new generation on Thrill-power, strips such as Cadet Dredd, Departmetnt K and Pandora Perfect will find a new home in the [Judge Dredd Megazine].

Well, I didn't see that coming. So as to not derail this thread with Regened discussion, I've set up another thread here: https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=49750.0

Rebellion Presents The José Muñoz Collection - Paperback, 128 pages, 21st November 2024

Rebellion presents three action-packed stories from the legendary Lion comic, all featuring the work master of chiaroscuro-style black-and-white art - José Antonio Muñoz.

In 1973, Muñoz worked on three short-lived strips in Lion. A Stitch in Time follows the adventures of a young boy named Stitch Cotton and his alien friend, Varl, after they steal a time machine from the sinister space-master, Mr. Universe. Lost in Limbo Land (written by 2000 AD regular, Chris Lowder), follows Barry Smith - a studious bookworm who is struck by lightning and flung into a world of Norse myth and legend. The final strip, Sark the Sleeper, sees a starship commander accidently woken from hypersleep by two boys who are completely unaware that they passengers flying through deep space in search of a new home.

Frank Pepper had a lengthy career writing for British comics. From the 1930s onwards he wrote for a wide variety of story papers including The Champion, Knockout, and The Comet. He is best known as the creator of Roy of the Rovers for Tiger and Captain Condor for Lion. Other well-known strips he worked on include The Spellbinder and Dan Dare. He died in 1988.

Bloody hell ... have Frank Miller and Mick McMahon had a baby together?  What's going on with those ankles and boots?

[broodblik]

I think the artist might be Luke Horsman

[Hawkmumbler]

I like it! More than a bit of John McCrea to it!

Something about the pose puts me in mind of Bolland's £ast Dredd.

[Richard]

I hate it!

[Doomlord66]

I hate it!

Hmmm, I'm not a fan of this. To me it looks like Dredd has had replacement robot arms and legs.
