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 see it's not in the Comics UK cover gallery - nor anything from the Football pocket library comics. So you might want to scan that and submit it to the Gallery.

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.

Well I think it looks fine except for one minor detail - the Comics UK logo has jagged white outlines. That didn't matter on the main site with it's white background, but it's obvious on the forum. Al, do you have the original files used to create that logo? If it was a PNG instead of a GIF, you cou...

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

Those other genres used to have their own books - Football and Starblazer (though I think a sports one would need a more versatile title now so it can run things like Tough of the Track). 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...

Yeah, the Mirror did.

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.

Marvel just announced Marvel Comics #1000... and it uses the old Mighty World of Marvel logo from the 1970s!

Titan seem to have a distribution problem, as WHSmith still had the previous issue of Doctor Who Comic 8 days after the new one should've come out. They also didn't have Simpsons Comics, issue 21 of which should've been out the same day as DWC, and I've missed issue 20 because, it seems, they never...

Picked up the Cor!!Buster special, and the latest Comic Scene. Both great reads. However, Titan seem to have a distribution problem, as WHSmith still had the previous issue of Doctor Who Comic 8 days after the new one should've come out.
