There's 4 in the Nisa shop on Greenwood Avenue. North Hull folk must be too busy buying lottery tickets and booze...

Entitlement? You talk like I'm expecting to get scans of every comic I want to read for free, when in fact I am spending considerable amounts of money on them. The most I've ever looked for is to share this particular hobby so I don't have to buy every single issue and scan it myself. The main enti...

You were 'dogpiled' (Jesus, I feel old!) because you continually failed to address Lew's main point, addressed personally, which questioned your sense of entitlement. Nobody needs every issue of anything, nobody has a right to own or read these things. Collecting scans, and the subsequent whinging a...

He did a lot of the editorial illustrations and celebrity pictures in Krazy. I'm not sure which strips he drew. But we do have a Krazy/Cheeky expert on this board somewhere...

The margin drawings look like the work of J Edward Oliver... I think it's the work of Ed McHenry... http://leejamesturnock.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/ed-mchenrys-fantastic-mastheads-for.html?zx=a84e349faff0d4c3 If our three esteemed and much missed gurus hadn't left comics UK i'm' sure they would have ...

I would hope that asking for scans of comics on this board is against the rules (if nothing else, it's inducement to a criminal act, regardless of your fairly weak justification!)... and if it isn't - it should be!

I put a fish bone in (almost) all my Dandy strips - mainly for my kids to find!

Even 2000ad was full of cheap copies of popular sciffy movies in the 70's. Skizz started out as an E.T. Clone. 'Sciffy'..? Jesus, thats the most stupid, twee and irritating word I've ever seen on a forum - congratulations! Just to be a little more accurate, and apologies to everyone who already kno...

The user in question is a bot...I've just seen it at work on the Movieweb site. Same name posting old replies. Looks like the point is to spam a rogue ebook site. Deleting the post was a good idea.

One day these t***s are going to make running a free forum too much hassle.

Speaking of students, I think Viz needs to update its Student Grant character- many today are foppish rich and spoilt think they know it alls, who flash their expensive gear about (top targets for muggers) who have no manners or consideration for others ie like getting on a bus and ringing bell for...

One of the new models is crowd funding. I just pledged to a comic project called Molly Danger at Kickstarter. It looks such fun, but looks like it might not hit the target without some last minute help. Super-powered kid working for ACRONYM defends Generica from the Cliche-mechs. Ho-humm. Not for m...

The old ways of doing things are not working, and the whole copyright debate is based on a very Nineteenth Century paradigm. Where once we had a 'read' culture we now have a vibrant 'read/write' culture and this changes the way we should view copyright. The moral rights of an artist are still as wel...

This Samuel Silva must be lying about his methods. Well, he is a lawyer... :D He appears to be using some clever optical colour mixing - a kind of Divisionism. And biro pens have a natural transparency that grows in intensity with layering. Six colours is a profusion using this technique. Maybe he ...

All this shaving of dads will make using reprints more difficult in the future...
