I submitted this to Titan a couple of months back, scanned at 1200dpi then reduced to 600dpi to tighten up the linework (to answer a far earlier post). Still no release date, there have been some staff changes at Titan, with a new supervising editor coming on board. I've also done the first Rat Pack...

Jag...lots of Jag. Lots of money, but worth it. saw Lew's blog post on it, can't resist a bit of Jesus Blasco. Now hunting more.

ah,

the current RotR from Titan is a collection of strips from the annuals published between 1955 and the end of the '70s.

have been talking with david leach, who edits collections at titan, at length for the last few days about battle, RotR and other titles due soon. RotR is done, and includes strips from the '50s to the '70s, and there's a copy in the post (apparently!). best of battle has been resolicited, and amazon...

yeah...i've been sticking with it in case anything good comes up for quite a few years now. i think the only 'new' thing i've enjoyed in ages is defoe (getting 666 into it yet again) although the second run of that was less enjoyable than the first. i went away from the meg when alan barnes stopped ...

£133.01?

blimey!

sad to report that i made prog 1600 my last. i've bought it religiously since programme 1, but i simply can't justify spending the money on it anymore. apart from the odd decent strip, and maybe a lucky week where there's a john wagner dredd story, the decline in quality of content has finally tippe...

Sorry Cap & Moose but I feel I must take issue with a few of your points there. The people who compiled the Charley's War books are fans of the strip, not cold "big boys" who know nothing about comics. Any flaws in reproduction are due to the difficulties in scanning from comics, as they don't have...

i was looking into the rights thing recently after talking to jim marshall (www.bloodforthebaron.com) about reprints. he wanted to publish a load of action force stuff but obviously mattel own the rights to that. anyway, i called melanie leggett at egmont legal to see about licencing some johnny red...

2000Ad was also sold off, to rebellion. this makes the ownership of some characters sketchy when considering the starlord/tornado mergers. rebellion claimed to own all of the starlord and tornado characters, not just those that appeared in tooth after the mergers, but this has been disputed. the lon...

If rumours are correct Starlord enjoyed the higher sales but 2000ad sounded better and also was cheaper to produce.I believe serious consideration was given to whi...

lew, i can't help but think that it's because DCT are still there publishing comics and therefore would appreciate any form of advertising to promote the medium, hence a lot of co-operation, whereas IPC are long since divested of any comics output, having sold off stuff to pay the bills or because t...

i was quite surprised to see that i got a namecheck on the end credits of last night's episode. surprised, but chuffed.

action next week...but i'm on holiday in a bbc4 free zone...better trust that the HD recorder will do as it's told.

ah yes...arnie sharp was a bit of a bounder, but the art was great, especially after the battle/valiant merger, where joe colquhoun took over, and got his first regular battle gig.

hey...i had that. i'm off to my parents' house to look in the loft.
