Must admit, watching these Pertwee Doctor Whos, every story features The Master. Couldn't stand him first time round. Same goes for Davros. There was a bloke on Radio 5 live this week talking about Doctor Who. He said the Daleks were their own masters until Davros came along at which point they bec...

Sheesh, I've heard everything when even a pie is now described as 'woke'?!
'Why can't everything stay the same'? says the generation of psychedilia, glam rock, punk and the new romantics that now slate anything unconventional. Can you imagine the backlash Bowie or Boy George would receive today?

Yeah, they did it before. Should mean Genesis of the Daleks will be on in due course.

Lew unfortunately left a long time ago. He's pretty active on Facebook though. He announced his retirement recently.

By the way, I wrote a piece of Space 1999 fanfiction a while ago. See here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5846315/1/Space-1999-The-Vanishing-Web https://www.starscapecomic.co.uk/space1999cover.JPG Just read this, excellent story Starscape, thanks for sharing here. I have one problem with it.... "My ...

It's for the wealth of signatures, rather than just the comic.

I do agree what has been said here that IPC did "miss a trick" by not keeping to the plan and making Starlord for older readers. I think their two attempts later - Crisis and Revolver (which I did get because of "Dare") went a little too far but they did finally nab it with Judge Dredd The Megazine...

Eagle (1980s) 1 and 2 with free gifts. It was more the Eagle badge of 2 that sparked memories.

The last 15 or so issues of Ghost Rider. Awesome. From Marvel, it's the noble warriors like Namor, Silver Surfer or Thor, whilst from DC, I enjoyed the slightly more juvenile Shazam! and Plastic Man, although the JSA of the Seventies All-Star and JLA team-ups were great. Naturally, the New Gods was ...

Commando just doesn't sell well enough. Who under fifty wants to read pretty routine WWII stories. The writing is still very much DC Thomson of 40 years ago too (I mean the reprints are almost identical in story telling to the current). Even in the Seventies, it felt dated. I thought it was better i...

...and don't forget when it became Marvel Comic weekly. Pretty terrible at the start, it became a lot better but I guess many had given up by then. And of course, Hulk had graduated into his own comic by then and featured the terrific Black Knight and Night-Raven stories. Then as the weekly glossies...

Good Morning, Sheldon was amazing. I was thinking not so long ago, of all the Future-Shocks, Time Twisters and other one-offs, this is possibly the best ever written. Either that or Shok, which was basically the film Hardware.

They had to develop new stories after the 12 issues, so the quality noticeably dropped. A more adult audience just wasn't a thing in British comics then, so I can see why. That said, I could see it ushering a new era of monthly comics had they kept their nerve. Planet of the Damned was my favourite,...
