It would be nice if true, but I won't get my hopes up until I hear something a little more solid, like the name of the publisher or the date of publication. It's really hard to tell from the article whether this was an actual commitment to publishing or if it was just Pat repeating what he's said many times before about what he'd like to see in a Misty revival.

Sounds like some books collecting complete serials, it's about time something other than wars got a look-in, I suppose!

That "herald a return for the ongoing comic" is typical "the Dandy isn't 30p any more??" wishful thinking. No amount of Charley's War books is going to revive Battle in the current climate!

Yep. The only Egmont Classic Comics books I've seen advertised for this year are reprints of the same Thunderbirds strips they did last year, plus other TV21 reprints, and a book of cutaways by Graham Bleathman, reprinted from Thunderbirds The Comic.

Unless a Moonchild collection is being done by a indie publisher of course, in the way that Hibernia Books have reprinted strips from Eagle and Scream. But as you say, it's possible it's just speculation at present.
