Comics UK

Oooh so many to choose from re favourite characters (as opposed to my favourite comic as has varies a lot over the years (from JLA, Conan, Legion of Super-Heroes Brave and Bold etc) and only basing the artist on thse that worked on that character (otherwise its Neal Adams): For Marvel: Doctor Strang...

Red Lanterns are part of the new"DC " new 52" and are core to the new Green Lantern Universe (along with Black Lanterns and Blue Lanterns) as with most things in comics a good idea that was overused (imho) anyway Red Lanterns went on to have their own monthly comic from the mini series- as Marionett...

For me DC is head and shoulders above Marvel in this instance (mostly due to Bruce Timms great designs) - As noted previously Justice league and Justice League Unlimited (DC) are truly amazing cartoons for fanboys you name a DC character chances are they appeared in these series especially Justice L...

I don't think that there is any doubt if Dan had been on TV they would have sold more Dandy's but would the TV company's want a cartoon about a cowboy today - Adventure time (whilst not my cuppa tea) is so off the wall I can see kids lapping it up, I think Dan like Korky has had his time...sadly as ...

Yeah I can't disagree with you Raven, Ken did use the profile shot a lot more than most. mostly I think as he could really draw faces very well indeed and he managed to capture in full gory detail the full opened mouth expression of horror in cartoon art - but he also mixed it up with the 3/4 profil...

Actually it does very well in Forbidden Planet in Glasgow (along with its sister title Bravest Warrior) plus I just remembered when I was in W H Smiths in Hamilton this am I saw a UK edition of "Adventure time" (not sure if its a one off or a monthly)

Good call Raven your right I forgot about that one - seems that's the style that the kids like now (although I think a few students like that as well) and its a pretty popular cartoon that's spawned a few comics and lots of merchandise

I think some of Ken Reid's Faceache sets in the Buster in the mid - late 70s were really good and on par with some (not all) of his 60s work at Odhams -- but there is no doubt that whilst he was still a great artist right to the very end some of his Faceache (and "Martha" and "Tom Horrors" ) sets in...

Strange as it seems I was watching kids cartoons shows this am (as off work today) at the same time I picked up a copy of the Beano ( first time in a while), I felt that DCTs style is moving towards the style of cartoons on Disney XD etc (ie Jamie Smart etc) as opposed to Nigel Parkinson traditional...

Picked up 2000 AD - prog 1844- (along with the Beano) for only second time in many year, have to say I was pretty impressed with it , a great cover (mine was variant 2 of 2) - although it looked very like Hugh Jackman /Wolverine but a great new Saline strip with Clint Langley art (so you know how go...

Picked up the latest Torpedo book (Vol 4 by IDW) darkly and at times very funny scripts by Sanchez Abuli and excellent art throughout by Jordi Bernet, exactly what "grown up" comics should be, fun and mature and not a superhero in sight

Could this be a book based on a UK TV show around 2004 called "Modern Toss" ? they did a series of books (see link)

Picked up a copy of the Mark Evaniers coffee table book "Kirby, King of comics" (about errr Jack Kirby) for £2 (was £21) in Fopp Glasgow

Hope you enjoyed it Peter it's a great wee book (Sergio Aragones' Funnies) I have the complete set not a weak issue (imho) in the run.
