Comics UK

Looks like they stopped Gag Vault last week, so now it's just Perishers reprints and Andy Capp.

And now the Garth reprints are in the bin too.

Can you post a scan of the cover "comic football 1" please?

I will try when i come across it again but i never post scans here.

I buy it every week anyway. I'm surprised they didn't bundle a gift and jack up the price - they actually haven't done that at all in the school holidays this year, which makes a nice change.

Tesco, huh? Thanks - I already looked in WHSmith for this but it wasn't there.

It's a shame they can't expand the pocket library line. It's down to just Commando now, but it used to also have...

I liked kill or be killed as well as TWD and most Bat stuff!
Thanks

You're probably better off at either Reddit or CBR than here.

Striker's cancelled again.

It would be up to to the editors, but there's nothing stopping him making a suggestion. They could've been lazy and just used the company logo! There's actually a version that has the word Marvel from the current logo and Comics from the 90s one, used on some merchandise.

Al Ewing's the main writer. He's British, so it's highly likely MWOM is the reason he used that logo, even if it was used somewhere else first.
