Comics UK

Someone may have already mentioned this but I've just twigged that if I right click on say, Retro Active and select THIS FRAME then OPEN FRAME IN NEW WINDOW or TAB I can read the comic full screen on my laptop! Result. Shame it doesn't zoom in to full frame automatically, unless I'm missing somethin...

By thunder you're correct. It probably has his credit on the film as well, but I keep missing it - Will have to go and have a watch. Lord knows why I keep thinking it was his art in the actual film, but either way his work's still fab. Will manage to pick up his Toth (expensive) By Design one day on...

How to Murder Your Wife - Oooh, the awesome Alex Toth! Love his art - Animated and comic.

Out of interest there's a page of Cliff Hanger original art on eBay now and they have a buy-it-now for £34.

Even if not the original line drawing artwork the coloured Cliff Hanger page you've just bought will look great framed and on the wall.. Good start to your collecting hobby Mr Ed.....

Awesome cel of Red dancing there ISPYSHHHGUY, which'll look fab on your wall I'm sure. Always nice to surround yourself with visually stimulating things. I used to correspond with Preston Blair years ago, nattering about animation and helping with his 'animated mouth shapes' book he was working on t...

And one of my friend's favourites from the 70's - Rah-Rah Randall, dressed in his Dennis stripey like top! Nice art as well..

RAH- RAH!!!

Phil's the nice guy that runs the fab website selling all those glorious British comics we like (most of the sales seem to be through eBay). The site also includes a nice 'search' engine to access the various comics he's sold over the years, along with pics for a lot of the sales, which is nice to t...

The art and imagination of Ken Reid is a joy to behold... Fantastic stuff. I don't own complete runs of comics so there will still be hundreds and hundreds of pages of his strips I've never seen before, so it's great to see all these scans popping up. I do own some of those collected volumes of his ...

Hi Phil, Yes, one is indeed the fab work of Mike Noble, although sadly doesn't feature the aforementioned Fireball flying about the universe or zooming away to Mars. This one is Steve and Mat being attacked by cavemen!?!? Although I expect I'd have still been excited had I been reading that as a 6 y...

Ooooh, I do love doodling and collecting comic art. I used to have a lot of my art just propped up on top of bookcases surrounding my work area, with more art and other bits and bobs leaning against them creating a wall of 'nice eye candy' (and also a dust trap!). Since moving I've less space to sta...

Aww, that's sad news.. He was indeed a British comedy legend, and actor as well. :( Bear Alley has reference to an Eric Sykes comic strip from TV Express or Comic. But that was just a strip about his life and not an actual series. You would have thought he would have been approached for a series alo...

Nope... Just me then!!!! Ha ha.. What a plank. For some reason, even though it's plain as day on the website I still managed to think the comic expo was this weekend?!? I live in Bristol so not too bad but still... Was up at 6am, getting all our stock ready, flask (at Kapow we were gasping for tea m...

Avoiding Waitrosegate entirely my girlfriend has just bought me a Phoenix 3 month subscription for my birthday. So I shall be looking forward to issue one dropping through my box any day soon!

A new British weekly - Huzzah! (I think that's what the young folk say now).

Cosgrove Hall was one of the original studios that inspired me with their great roster of animated characters.

Sad news indeed.

Jack Kirby on Fireball XL5 or Thunderbirds! Blimey riley, that would have been inspired and rather intriguing. On a different note I'd loved to have seen Brian Bolland do Faceache or even having a go at Dennis the Menace. :) That'd be something I'd hang above my desk (assuming I made him draw on pap...
