Would I be too cynical if I were to suspect we might see a resurgence of "Wacky EU Regulations" news stories as the Rejoin Campaign gains strength...?

I got given virtually the full run up to when it went monthly by a mate who 'grew out of comics' (sucker!) I remember I'd spend whole weekends reading through the various backup strips.

It's only rereading Star Wars Weekly as an adult you realise how weird it is - so many backup strips taken from Marvel older audience targeted B&W magazine line. Which actually made it a brilliant bleak read when I was a kid.

UFO CONNECTION (Marvel Preview #13, 1978): Pyramid power! This dark, claustrophobic strip about a man and his daughter on the run from aliens would have gone unnoticed on these shores, but its appearance as a backup strip in Star Wars Weekly meant that young fans got to enjoy the bleak ending too.

Tomorrow DC is re-releasing the ARKHAM ASYLUM: LIVING HELL Deluxe Edition HC by me & Ryan Sook.

22 years ago THIS was the project that broke me out of kid comics and into the super hero side of the biz (where I dreamed of being). It's full of youthful energy & big swings. This was MY origin story.

This series hit me out the blue back in the day. I'd never heard of Dan Slott - i think it was a Staff Recommendation in Nostalgia & Comics - but it hit me like a bomb, and made Slott a name to look out for.
Ryan Sook's art is fantastic too.

I never liked Ditko's Spidey as a kid, having mostly seen Romita and Andru's Spidey - but I loved this annual. Those full-page splashes for each villain!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

When the Right Wing press are attacking the Green Party then I guess, at last, they're seen as a threat. And therefor a serious contender.

I'm never actually going to need to write another comment piece again am I?

The right wing shit rags are just going to keep recruiting for us.

Reread it just last month. Still a rock solid Star Wars knock-off space adventure, fab art from Garcia-Lopez, Ross Andru, and Eduardo Barreto.
For my money Dart is still one of the best designed characters in sci-fi comics, right up there with Johnny Alpha.
