On sale today in 1989, the last story in the latest Wildcat felt powerfully important even as I read it in 2022. Today, it’s even more so. Go give it a read, the story is called Gliz. Beast accompanied by a cold drink… with no ICE: oink.blog/2022/01/28/w... 🌍💥🚀👽👾🐽 #comicsky #comics

It’s not broken, it’s just not available in the UK and Europe yet.

John is one of the most decent and supportive people in UK comics.

On this day in 1994 in no.8 of Jurassic Park it was the back up strip that caught my eye! Originally published in b&w, Mark Schultz’s Xenozoic Tales was coloured for the UK by Steve White. What an incredible job he did! You can check out more in the full review from 2022 on the OiNK Blog. 🚗🦖🖌️🐽

ALiENS #20: APPARENTLY SHE SAW AN ALiEN ONCE This month’s cover by Charlie Adlard (The Walking Dead, Nikolai Dante, Savage) may be more comic book-like than the usual painted images we’re used to, but you can’t deny it would’ve stood out on t…
