Talk here about just about anything associated with British comics or story papers and the industry that does not fit in any other forum.
There are separate fora open to registered members for discussing specific comics, artists, websites etc.

I cant wait lets hope its the 1st of many,i'd love to see rebellion do at least 2 graphic novels a month or there abouts as i'm sure there is enough material to last them years.
Some people are never satisfied. They've announced they're doing one a month and now you want two. Would you actually buy two a month? Will you be buying everything they put out? They'll only release what they think will sell.

i didn't realise they had said they would release 1 a month.in an ideal world i would love to buy all the gn they put out even if i didnt get to read them and they sit on a shelf with the 100 odd graphic novels i already own.
Well I am happy with "just" one a month with the idea of collecting them all.
Just can't wait for the first one.
Reading comics since 1970. My Current Regulars are: 2000 AD (1977-), Judge Dredd Megazine (1990-), Spaceship Away (2003-), Commando (2013-), Deadpool and Wolverine (2023-), Quantum (2023-), Fantastic Four (2025-).
I cant wait for that one,so i wont read my current titan series issues until i read that.did hookjaw originally last for the whole run of Action or just pre ban issues?

I'd like to help, Bri, but I only have the pre-ban run, from the first issue to the one for 16th October 1976. Somewhere I also have Martin Barker's book Action - The Story Of A Violent Comic. I'm not sure exactly where it is as things seem to move around of their own accord in this house! I might well have been able to answer your question otherwise.
Hookjaw was in the last issue of Action, and I'm pretty sure he was in the whole run.
Judging by the collection being 136 pages long, I'm guessing that it will contain the first run of stories, from before the ban. If this does well, there seems to be enough material for two more collections.

That may be so, David, but it's reasonable to ask whether enough people would want to buy the toned-down issues to make publishing them a viable proposition.
big bad bri wrote:how many issues of action was published ? around 79 ( i may be wrong) surely they can do the whole run if its a hardback graphic novel.
Have you read the listing? The book is going to have 136 pages, so, no, not the entire run.
It's hard enough getting British comics fans to pay for these books anyway without pricing them way out of their affordability or willingness to buy them on publication.
Having seen a PDF of the One-Eyed Jack book I think readers will be very pleased with it. Reproduction looks very good. I can't reveal any more or preview it on my blog yet but I just wanted to reassure members here that it looks like the material is in good hands with Rebellion. I'll post images on my blog in a few weeks.
