Just A Heads Up.....

 

Currently Blogger's moved its system to Australia and since that happened a lot of problems have cropped up. I can copy and paste images but Blogger will not let me upload from the computer.

I have reviews from Hexagon to do so I'll write those then upload when images can be uploaded -or snatch from Hexagon's site.

Some Cover and other Art Never Used

 

Brother Mike (Knowle Chapter) has taken a good few black and white images and blasted them into full colour. He even designed a few covers back "in the day". Going through old emails from 2011 I found these.  The idea of turning the old b&w Purple Hood comics into colouyr was never evon thought abot. These pages were simply done for fun.

Enjoy

Oh Wikipedia Doesn't Mention Me

OOH. Someone pointed out that everything I have done in and for British comics and small press since 1995 has, again,. has been deleted. I am used to this and we KNOW who in what used to bve the comics 'community' is behind this.  

You will note that my name as owner and publisher on ZZ and ZZI as well as Black Tower Comics has been removed.

 "Between 1983 and 1995 Zine Zone (later Zine Zone International), a Bristol-based company specialising in mail order, comic mart service and publications, focused international attention on UK small pressers and helped a number go on to mainstream comics, including D'Israeli and Duncan Fegredo.^"

Dear Reader, Fire and water, water and fire – this month, two drastically different comics for your enjoyment! Spirou, Fantasio, and the Marsupilami are back in a new adventure by legendary author and artist André Franquin: prepare to enter The Moray’s Lair! A scientific competition leads to multiple acts of sabotage, and Spirou will be hard-pressed to figure out who so desperately wants to put an end to the Count of Champignac’s foray into underwater exploration. It’s exciting, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s full of below-the-surface Marsupilami shenanigans! Meanwhile, our old friend Thorgal is in a much drier place, and things are not going well for him. His quest to save his son Aniel has failed, and the boy is now the reincarnation of an ancient sorcerer. Outside the city, a crusading army approaches. And inside, the Red Mages want to use Aniel to command The Scarlet Fire and defeat their enemies. But if anything goes wrong, he could lose control of that ancient magic and drown the world in flames … The stakes have never been higher, and betrayal waits in ambush – can Thorgal safely navigate these treacherous times? August with Cinebook: sail the seas of adventure! On Saturday 19 September, we will be at Kings Heath Comic Con in Birmingham, UK! Come and see us at the All-saints Centre in Kings Heath. We’ll have piles of our best comics for you to go home with – and of course, our usual, amazing festival deals! Spirou & Fantasio 23 Franquin The Moray’s Lair Spirou, Fantasio, and the Count of Champignac have decided to enter a competition organised by a rich ship-owner: to design a method for human beings to safely dive to and work at a depth of 200 metres. While the Count’s genius is up to the task, increasingly serious acts of sabotage begin to endanger his prototypes … Read more Thorgal 27 Grzegorz Rosinski & Xavier Dorison The Scarlet Fire Thorgal has failed. Despite all his efforts, he wasn’t in time to save his son Aniel, and was forced to look on as sorcery transformed the young, mute boy into a teenager with terrible powers – the reincarnation of the Master of Red Magic. The Viking, convinced there is still a chance, is still not ready to give up … Read more Redbeard 3 Mami Wata Spirou & Fantasio 23 The Moray’s Lair Saturday September 19th, 2026: Cinebook will exhibit at Kings Heath Comic Con, All-saints Centre, 2 Vicarage Road, Kings Heath, Birmingham, UK Comic Bits Online – Terry Hooper-Scharf The Bank 3 – The Baron’s Accounts Scotland 1 – Episode 1

I May Try Again..... Or Just Walk Away from It All

 Quiet on CBO?  Yep. A LOT going on that need not concern anyone.

I did try -a lot and failed- to do a long spread of Black Tower characters to use to create a poster. I liked the look of this one from Marvel Comics and in my BT version the Iron Warrior would be standing tall in the background.        

Avenger, Jon Future, Gilgamesh, "Bob", Cast Iron Chris, Mayfly, The Bat, Krakos, (a young)Madam Foretell, Jack Flash and one of the "X's" -IW in background.

I may try again but....
