PARAGON comic - a small-press, old-school annual

I hope you don't mind me posting this here but this forum seems the ideal audience for this small press comic. I grew up reading British action/adventure anthologies in the 70s and 80s. This isn't a pastiche nor really an homage but a continuation of that tradition.

Re: What comics did you buy today?

I've bought myself a handful of Vulcan and it's bringing back all sorts of memories from my youth; Trigan Empire, Robot Archie, Kelly's Eye, House of Dolman, Steel Claw and Spider.

It's just wonderful, wonderful stuff

Re: A new British adventure weekly.... Could it ever happen?

I guess the question is really will there be a new British adventure mag like the ones from our childhood years.

Probably not.

I did try to get some of the better small press creators together for one but...

And yet...

The Secret of the Samurai

There's a new Julius Chancer strip starting in issue 75 by the brilliant Garen Ewing which I heartily recommend to everyone.
Anyone who liked the Rainbow Orchid will love this new story featuring the same main character

Re: STRIP Rant

I thought John had passed on his editorial duties on STRIP?

It is a shame - I enjoy reading it. When a new one finally appears.

Re: DREDD (2012)

The film was pretty good but I saw this at the CannyComicCon and it has just been posted on youtube

Judge Minty - done for a much smaller budget than either Stallone's film or the latest one but much more in keeping with the comic. If you haven't seen ...

It really is a corker of a cover - it does its job attracting the eye on the shelf in Smiths!
