Comics UK

Was this strip ever titled "Ghost Patrol" if so I think it appeared in "WHAM" or "SMASH" at some point - was it about a lost group of Roman soldiers - If so let me know I have a book on the Power comics and it gives where these strips originally appeared (as I'm sure it was a reprint in Wham Origina...

Does anyone know when and which comic this strip, which was reprinted in the early 2000AD and Starlord annuals, originally appeared? Some people have said 'Eagle' (late 60s) but I had annuals from that period and no strips appeared in those... Originally posted by Shaqui on the old forum on 28/02/20...

I have to say I find computer art boring (even Striker)BUT I agree its what the kids seem to want maybe seeign it done as wwar as opposed to Super heros might work better alhough the US comics done in this style, for me , have lacked something (Heros, humour, SF and Fantasy) but your rights time to ...

The problem with today is that comics have been overtaken by computer games. We all loved our comics whether it be Battle or Warlord & they now say kids aren't interested in war stories anymore. But ask any kid if his played Medal of Honour on his PS2 or XBox they would say yes. I would say a good a...

Remember Dicky quinn tried to put one together in about 1989? He touted it around for ages, but it never got anywhere.

I still think there is a market out there for a good traditional type UK comic - as you say JD using colour printing nice pape rand even with some reprint material - I doub there will ever be a new UK newstand comic (possibl;y a direct sales on or "new" all reprint on ea la Marvel etc)- Even a good ...

The general decline in numbers of different weeklies throughout the 80's and 90's means they can never be regarded as true "golden ages". There's definitely a feeling of experimentation and exhilaration about the 50's and 60's up to perhaps the beginning of 1970s but for me the three day week and th...

I was not alive in the 80's but I have read loads of comics from that time. My older cousins were comic mad and they have got piles of them. This is were I read them from. They have Beano,Buster,Whizzer and Chips,Topper,Beezer and Whoopee! They are all very good and they had much better stories than...

For me the great decade will always be the 70's. You still had the greats that the earlier years produced but then things got taken up a notch with the arrival of comics like Warlord, Starlord and of course 2000AD. The Marvel UK weeklies opened up those stories to a new audience and over in the stat...

Oink was great in the 80's.

Then again some of the creations in the current Beano will go on to be classics, Robbie Rebel is fantastic great art work & its the first story I always read, so you'll probably find the kids that read today's Beano having the same conversation 15 years down the line as were having. Long may it cont...

The 50s probably was THE golden age of uk Sci Fi comics in that it produced the EAGLE Dan Dare Frank Bellamy etc - But if your being objectinv eand not nostalgic the 60s was without doubt the tops for hunour and youth comics (and I'm a late 70s 80s "child") Boxatrick great if you liked it fot me a p...

Its interesting that people view the 60's as the golden age and not the 50's.......with Eagle etc...The golden age gets nearer and nearer...the 80's for me.......Other people would say the 30's maybe!! Bananaman by John Geering the best in Nutty by a long shot...still got the poster!!.......I also l...

Spud - I agree (despite my original message) the 1960S seems a really special innovative decade for all the arts - Marvel comics, Harvey, even DC reinventing itself etc. I strated to seriously collect UK comics in the early 1980s (scunnerd by then by 80% of the US drivel - some great stuff as well I...
