When I started this thread I was hoping we'd never have to mention The Dandy on here.SID wrote:The Dandy but with a difference.
First: It would be a monthly.
Second: It would not just contain the classic Dandy names we know and love, it would showcase other DCT characters (such as Morgyn the Mighty, King Cobra, etc...). It could be a mixture of reprints/new stories though I would imagine the emphasis would be on the reprints.
Third: I would aim the comic (which is why I would suggest it could be a monthly) at the dads rather than the kids (although they could buy it if they want).
So in summary: A Dandy/Classics From the Comics combo monthly (though called the Dandy) but with the emphasis on story/adventure strips with a few Dandy classic comedy strips thrown in.
I would definitely buy it.
I doubt Striker would ever return to The Sun as they took that step backwards once in the past and it didn't work out for them.Digifiend wrote:Well still no updates: http://w11.zetaboards.com/StrikerWorld/topic/7891023/1/big bad bri wrote:what is striker coming back as a comic or in the sun again
And the Sun can probably be ruled out - Shadows, the story occupying Striker's slot, is about to start it's third major storyline - and each storyline lasts about a year.
My mum's been doing some sorting out in preparation for my brother's return from Afghanistan this week. Found a copy of the 1981 Tornado Annual (must've been my brother's, I was never into that sort of thing). Got some dart holes in the cover and pages 3 and 4 are missing. A pity because otherwise it'd be in decent condition.starscape wrote: As for who I'd bring back, I probably preferred Starlord but actually it would be Tornado. I miss the non-sci-fi action, like Blackhawk, Storm, Wagner's Walk etc. We're well served with sci-fi and superhero action (although I wonder if a cheap B&W MWoM would work - needs to be very very cheap). But Vikings and Romans? Not too many in that boy's adventure style.
Of course, I just remembered (yes it took a long time) that there was a such a comic albeit larger - Red Dagger.SID wrote:And if I am greedy, from DCT's arsenal, a mini-Victor or Hotspur in the same style/format as Commando featuring all of DCT's classic characters.
It did OK, but just couldn't get the sales to sustain it beyond 30 issues.SID wrote:Of course, I just remembered (yes it took a long time) that there was a such a comic albeit larger - Red Dagger.SID wrote:And if I am greedy, from DCT's arsenal, a mini-Victor or Hotspur in the same style/format as Commando featuring all of DCT's classic characters.
