Just to point out this contains a story which hasn't been republished since 1980!

I loved that mini when I was younger and was gifted with the omnibus last year. It actually made me want to read that era of hawkman as it wasn’t something I read back in the day.

Currently reading the robin compendium. Some great Grant and Breyfogle stuff so far. Really hope we get a Second collection as I’d love to have the Mike Wieringo run.

I'm still a bit shaken up. I was involved in quite a violent mugging yesterday, but on the plus side I made a few quid...

When I see this I think of it on the back of a great Grant/Breyfogle Batman

Used to be a staple of every Christmas morning getting an asterix book.

No idea how the prints and original piece ended up there but I blame having a young child at the time and just getting everything out of the way πŸ˜‚. Lovely to have them back and now I have an office to hang them in

Cleaned out the press under the stairs for the first time in over 10 years and found a few things including an original piece by Garry Erskine and some old annuals my wife got for me (second hand I haven’t been married since the 80’s πŸ˜‚). Along with a few asterix books.

I actually didn’t notice that.

This was great. Couldn’t put it down and the few issues of the questions makes me want to get my hands on a collection of that book too as it’s another blind spot for me.

Really enjoyed it. Flew through 400 odd pages of it today and will be getting the next collection.

Not too familiar with Ed Hannigan but that’s going to change. Really great mix of dynamic but with brilliant story telling ability. This is two pages in a row that I couldn’t stop looking at

Some recently read books. The transformers universe remains a lot of fun to read and I really enjoyed the new Hate stories but did feel slightly personally attacked by middle age Buddy listening to Hardcore history on the cover πŸ˜‚

while I didn’t get into American comics until the 90’s I have read a lot of older book but teen titans was a blind spot for me. This was immense fun and I found myself looking forward to reading it every day. Really makes me want to pick up the Suicide squad collection now.
