The Comic Archive - What's new

[blaing]

Hm... I might have to try another CAPTCHA plugin if you are having problems with the current one..

Update. I no longer use FunCAPTCHA as it doesn't seem to work on all systems.

On the blog right now.



I have a summary of the very first Knockout holiday special from 1972, here

I see Comic Vine has a few covers, including wraparounds, from issues of School Fun which you don't have on last month's gallery posts: http://www.comicvine.com/school-fun/4050-49828/

I have got the images from Comic Vine of the covers I haven't got (and I'll credit them once I put the images on my blog when I get back from getting the mail later on today.)

Your blog seems to be down. Getting an error from my ISP saying "Oops! We couldn't find comics.brucelaing.id.au"

the subdomain has changed.

the subdomain is now http://comicsblog.brucelaing.id.au

Up now on the blog, I start my look at the transition from newsprint to full colour comics with a quick look at IPC's final humour title to be printed on newsprint for its' entire run, School Fun here.

the subdomain has changed.

the subdomain is now http://comicsblog.brucelaing.id.au

You need to update your signature then.

And the blog link here: http://www.brucelaing.id.au/main/

Both go to comics. instead of comicsblog.

Thanks, James.

I'll have to fix all the links (including the ones on my website) right now.

Done! (thank goodness for the global find and replace feature on my web editor )

Appearing on the blog right now is a strip from Buster, Melvyn's Mirror here.

coming tonight at approximately 10:00 pm GMT (or 8:00 am AEST Friday, 9:00 AEDT for the southern states of Australia) Part one of my look at the transition from traditional newsprint to the full colour comics of more recent times will go online. It is Buster's turn. I'll have the link once the post goes live.

update: it's now here

Apologies to everyone who has tried to post on my blog over the last couple of days. When i reinstalled Wordpress recently, I forgot to turn back on allowing of commenting on my posts. This has been fixed for the last seven or eight posts or so.

On my blog right now, I have the debut of Tom Patersons' Lil' Imp from the Dandy here

I wondered if it was deliberate, to be fair!

[Digifiend]

Yeah, I assumed it was on purpose too - I saw Lew Stringer's complaints about spam comments a few months ago and thought you might have been preventing the same.

No, as it seems that the spammers usually post on older posts.

This is the reason why I close comments more than a month old, so the October posts comments will be turned off by the end of this month.
