"Scary" Lee Grice

I got given virtually the full run up to when it went monthly by a mate who 'grew out of comics' (sucker!) I remember I'd spend whole weekends reading through the various backup strips.

It's only rereading Star Wars Weekly as an adult you realise how weird it is - so many backup strips taken from Marvel older audience targeted B&W magazine line. Which actually made it a brilliant bleak read when I was a kid.

I loved this series. STRONGLY recommend.

This series hit me out the blue back in the day. I'd never heard of Dan Slott - i think it was a Staff Recommendation in Nostalgia & Comics - but it hit me like a bomb, and made Slott a name to look out for.
Ryan Sook's art is fantastic too.

Seconded. Brilliant series.

I never liked Ditko's Spidey as a kid, having mostly seen Romita and Andru's Spidey - but I loved this annual. Those full-page splashes for each villain!

I'd buy that.

When the Right Wing press are attacking the Green Party then I guess, at last, they're seen as a threat. And therefor a serious contender.

Forgotten Filmcast Episode 275: White of the Eye It’s October, so we’re going to be focusing on Halloween appropriate films this month. We start things out with the 1987 horror thriller White of the Eye, starring David Keith and Cathy…

Oh well done, you!!

He's done it! Nigel's found the solution to the quandary of "What do you do when your walk home at night aligns with a woman you don't know in order to not freak her out?"

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Reread it just last month. Still a rock solid Star Wars knock-off space adventure, fab art from Garcia-Lopez, Ross Andru, and Eduardo Barreto.
For my money Dart is still one of the best designed characters in sci-fi comics, right up there with Johnny Alpha.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

You know I think I always thought that was Gary Holton from Auf Wiedersehen, Pet...

What a great voice. Fantastic in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON, but would pop up anywhere and anywhere on telly

Man I love seeing off-model art from when super famous shows were unknown and no one knew any better. There's such a charm to it.

This one's going to be popular...

Absolutely loved. Reread it until it fell apart.
Opened my eyes to so many potential new comics

(and thanks)

Well. Fuck.

Okay what did I miss? What's with all the rumblings about BlueSky's imminent fall to fascism?

Look, I try not to be judgemental, but grown men on scooters make it difficult
