Love & Rockets #20 56pp b&w and colour US comic $7.99/£5.50 Just to show how much we get over-charged in the UK,I’d like to point out that £5.50 means we pay double what US readers do. That said,how the hell could I not buy L&R?! I fell in love with Jaime’s artwork…20 years ago? [...]
Hero/Villain 16pp A5[Digest] £1.50 For ordering info check out www.WillieHewes.co.uk Elsewhere I’ve reviewed Willie Hewes’ ongoing series called Amaranth. When I popped into Travelling Man and saw this single copy on the shelf I had to buy it. As you’ll note,the sub-title gives it all away:”A tale of love beyond good and evil!” A kidnapped [...]
BUNDLES OF FUN AND WONDER! In the 1960s,when it was “hit or miss” as to what title your local newsagents [in my case,Mina Road had Jarman's -a shop with a glass fronted cabinet displaying toy soldiers and a rotating rack with comics!] might carry,there was was one publisher who offered us a mix of [...]
No Invincible this week?? Oh well…. Creature From The Depths 36pp US col. comic I saw this comic on the shelf and thought I’d not bother but then I thought again. I do that a lot. Think. Age,y’know. Never,ever heard of Mark Kidwell but here he is writing and drawing the lot! It’s a modern [...]
Speak Of The Devil #1 [1 of 6] US b&w comic book Now,having previously given a link to Gilbert Hernandez’s Naked Cosmos,I wondered what I was in for when Tom,soon to leave my local Forbidden Planet store,went straight to the shelf and handed me the moustachioed ones latest. I never ever intend to give away plots [...]
BACK ISSUE #23 108pp $6.95/£4.50 Has Back Issue really reached….no,done that already. Hrrm. Initially,when this title first appeared I was 50-50 on whether to keep buying. I’m glad I stuck with it. Adam Hughes’ Mary Jane grabs the cover with the kicker line of them all:”Face it,Tiger..You just hit the jackpot!” But there is even [...]
ALTER EGO#70 100pp $6.95/£4.50 Well,has Alter Ego really gone 70 issues? Obviously,or else what am I reviewing?! A wonderful Gene “The Dean” Colan cover. How can you go wrong with that? Anyhow,this is a follow up in a way to AE#50 which looked at Editor Roy Thomas’s career in fandom and comics. And this is [...]
I thought I’d mention David Lloyd. He has been around for a very long time but,unlike Dave Gibbons,Brian Bolland and others I’ll not mention for fear of being accused of favouritism,David seems to never have gotten a big ‘name’. But let’s look at what he has done -he set up the Portobello Project in the [...]
Rumours spread like wildfire in comic circles. Add a few gossipy washerwomen and… Just down the road from the Forbidden Planet mega-store,closer to the city centre,Travelling Man has always been seen as playing “second fiddle” to its big competitor. But to say I was shocked when someone told me the store had closed might be [...]
