I went. A nice surprise was that Jim Petrie was on-stage too, but didn't say much. (He did sign my copy of the Sparky annual 1979 though) Though the audience consisted 95 per cent of kids and their parents, the show was aimed at an adult audience as well, and came across as very frank about the ups ...

Better late than never!

when did David Sutherland last draw The Bash Street Kids? I thought he was still doing new stories up until very recently.

there was a long multi-part story arc about Dan pursuing a Dan-chinned blonde beauty cica 1992.

After some further production delays, Wasted was finally launched in London today, with Quietly and Alan Grant in attendance. Hits newstands from next week on! The pdf/debut issue is a revised version of the pdf Lew reviewed back in June, featuring amongst it's new content, "Boy Mindless" written an...

Am trying to collect strips of this great series that ran in the Daily Mail from 1949-84 and which surely desrves to be properly collected, but which is very hard to come by. My interest was first "piqued" by the 8 strips reprinted in the 1971 Penguin Book of Comics. Next I managed to get hold the o...

For example the piece reused for the cover of this 1990 BMX Bandits album: http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=239176 (clearly sourced from the copy of his "encyclo...

they work for me... to this list we can also add Bob Dewar's revival of the Jellymen for the 1996 Beezer annual, as recently posted by Peter Gray..managed to pick up a copy of that one at a garden centre last week, and it's got a distinctly enviromental slant..I had no idea the Jellymen had started ...

It was this forum's own Steve Bright that drew that Jock and Geordies revival: would love to hear his take on it! best of the D.C. Thomson parodies in Viz would have ot be Graham Dury's "w***er Watson": never reprinted due to legal threats but I managed to find the original comic and he does a great...

she was a member of Gnasher's fan club, as was Star Wars lead Mark Hamill.

..am interested since he's the only D.C Thomson artist I've ever met, about 10 yearss ago at the Glasgow comics SCAMM meet-up.

thanks a lot Peter for posting that so swiftly! A great tribute: I hope it helps increase awareness of Bob's contribution. Incidentally Bob is still active drawing for educational books and packages in Scotland, where he lives.

To fully elaborate, I feel, I would need to post many lengthy scans from the comics..which I will strive to do in a seperate post. Suffice to say though, that with The combined Beezer and Topper title that ran from 1990-1993, there seemed to be a a real sense of experientation and fun that left the ...

Yeah.. that was "Sting", or as it was originally known, "The Beezers".
