Support comics on Kickstarter. Not only do you get to feel vaguely good about yourself, but it's like a gift from past you to present you. Such a delight when they unexpectedly arrive

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

@geengeenie and I treated ourselves to a pair of the cheap seats at Basildon Vue to see James Gunn’s interpretation of Superman…which was, predictably, brilliant. Everything from the casting to the music choices is perfect. Mister Terrific is just that and Krypto is the new Baby Groot.

UPDATED: Comics news monthly

I've updated my covers gallery for @millidge.com short-lived comics fanzine 'Comic news monthly' (published 1984). If you have any further examples I'd be delighted to see them.

You have to admit, that to go from 12th in the Premier League and total disarray this time two years ago to Club World Cup Champions is quite the turnaround.

Diamond were great. Giving it a Spotlight I'm sure really helped the launch. Likewise Capital City, and a handful of other distributors, before Diamond inadvertently became a monopoly...

A lovely article about Strangehaven's 30th anniversary by John Freeman on his Down the Tubes website.

I absolutely LOVE Gilliam, but his films are so dense that I have to ration them. I may have seen Brazil over six times, but kudos for racking that many views up of Munchausen.

If you don't know Martin Simpson's work, please consider backing his Kickstarter for RASP #1. I've seen a proof and it's glorious!

RASP: Book One A soulless detective conducts a seemingly simple investigation that turns into an incredible experience which will change him forever.

Next is RASP by @simoart.bsky.social who has an utterly unique and breathtaking illustrative style. I pick up anything by Martin, no questions asked. 9 days left to back this one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ras...

Comics news monthly

Comic news monthlyΒ was a comics fanzine produced in 1984 by (then comic shop owner) @millidge.com. Rare! Further examples welcomed. I love the 'Miracleman' themed Alan Davis cover for issue 14.

Contracts and advice - The Society of Authors Providing expert one to one advice to members β€” from vetting contracts to offering support at every stage of the author career

Just a small wave at anyone caught up in the Unbound/Boundless mess that you can get advice from the Society of Authors on contracts if you're a member. It's Β£32 a quarter, cheaper if you're over 65/under 35. Pretty much anyone at any stage of a writing career can join as an associate member.

Treat yourselves to this folks. A singular vision by a rare talent (and he's a good dude!).

As good as it gets and an absolute credit to the indie comics scene.

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

Thanks Dorian. I hope it's enough for No 10 to get the message. I loved your passion about both immigration and AI on yesterday's OGWN.
