Part of my walk to work

I downloaded this comic and read it just recently and the cover story is one of the most pointless comic stories ever created. In fact the whole thing was quite rubbish iirc.

I love this tree. It’s at The Vyne, near Basingstoke.

But él is such a cool label!

Hooray for comic shops.

Just saw this in The Guardian; so it’s getting mainstream coverage.

Careful out there

Blue skies for BlueSky

Gosh! Is Boss!

Super stuff. Best team in comics for me.

Mingus was a genius. You’ll get there.

Flicks through photos;; “what’s so weird about… oh… wait…”

Such a weird story. The dog was dead as well? Sounds like maybe some kind of environmental hazard, like carbon monoxide poisoning? Sad loss though.

He truly was the coolest.

Current reading. Dragman by Steven Appleby.

Currently rewatching this, and realising how much of each episode is repeated launch sequences. Great stuff though. Waiting for my fave episode; the one with the giant alligators.

That is a lovely book, and some of my fave Kirby artwork.

I’ve got the two on the left hand side. They’re quite ridiculous but fun.

Also stolen and used as the cover for Doomed World by Lionel Fanthorpe.

I always found it really weird to see British artists from 2000AD on the covers of big name US comics. A bit like they were sneaking in and being a little disruptive.

Red Nails is still one of my favourite comics.

I’ve only got a couple of issues of L&R and this is one of them.

I had this. Had a big impact on my 16 year old self.

I’m getting edgy Richard Scarry vibes from this. I love it.
