@megacitybookclub.bsky.social I loved your article "Up the nose..." in Drawn #4. Growing up to stay hooked on comics, yet hiding your "comic wings" feels like it could have been wrote for me. The whole comic is a fantastic piece of work. I tip my hat to all who worked on it.

"Marvel Mags from Beyond the Stars!" or should It be "Marvel Mags From Beyond the Grave!"? What with a hairy white cannibal monster, living & dead vampires, a pack of werewolves, a Living Mummy & more weirdness than the minds of Marvel can imagine.

Felt like ages since I pick up a copy of @timebombcomics.bsky.social Quantium, but picking up #12 from my nearest TG Jones was no “Major Trouble!” It’s good to have it back in my hands. I was desperate to finish off the Major Rakhana story and find out how it ended. It didn’t disappoint. Brilliant!
