Dear Reader, Past, present, future ... Doesn't it seem to all be running together sometimes, especially when life gets a tad hectic? Take Valerian and Laureline, for example. They're from the future, but at the end of their adventures they sort of went back to the past permanently - in more ways than one (spoilers, sweeties!). But, well ... what does ‘permanently' mean when you have a time machine at your disposal - when you can be in several times at once? Then there's Thorgal, and no, this isn't a typo, this is really volume zero! The first ever adventures of Thorgal - a double album, no less - published late at the authors' request, and retroactively numbered so you'll know they were the first written and drawn. And as you can probably imagine, our Viking's life was already pretty exciting! Finally, The Route 66 List takes us to Missouri this time, back in the time of the Cold War, where Alex and his son are trying to start a new life away from both the FBI and the KGB. But the clock stops for no one, and time is running short for the sleeper agents on the list ... November with Cinebook - there's no time like the present ... to read! Our good friends at Izneo are having a massive Black Friday sale. They carry our entire digital catalogue, so this could be a perfect opportunity to complete a series, try a new one ... or both! Head on over to their website. The Route 66 List 2 Eric Stalner Missouri Alex Poliac and his son are still on the run, having evaded both the FBI and the Clown — the supposed serial killer who's actually a KGB hatchet man.

NEW COMIC BOOKS RELEASING DECEMBER 4TH 2019 MARVEL & DC COMICS COMING OU...

Alex Ross Art at NYCC 2019 | Crisis on Infinite Earths

Gentle Giant Star Wars Collectibles | NYCC 2019!

DC'S CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTH'S Official Teaser Trailer (HD) The CW

And My Answer To The Question was....

I was asked how many old comic albums/annuals I have.

Good question.

I have a good few from the 1950s -mainly Amalgamated Press and a "good few" from the 1960s up to the 1990s.

When it comes to my speciality field of Gerald Swan I have around 42 albums from 1942 onward.

I have two Bonzo annuals and two Steve The Horse ("Come On Steve") books.

Just counted and excluding Swan I have around 300 comic annuals.

WHY are you so nosy?? :-)

So there is my answer.

This does not include trade paperbacks, graphic novels, Titan Books, Dark Horse or other publishers hard/softcover books that probably total well over 400.

Episode #47

They Find Out Too Late

I was contacted today by a legal firm that acts in association with copyright agencies to prevent creators and publishers from being ripped off by illegal downloads. As "a noted creator" several of my books were noted on illegal download sites and so I was contacted.

Would I like them to try to track down the uploaders and forward information to me for further legal action?

Problems arose in that I was not the actual publisher and when it was pointed out who the publisher was I was told they had never received responses from him on this type of matter before. Wonder why.

I was told that there was no way to stop the illegal uploaders AND downloaders as they simply moved to other sites but constantly issuing warnings to their ISPs apparently made their task more a pain.  I tried all of this in 2015-2016 and these uploaders are crooks -50p/50c a download payable to me and they had my permission. No, they ran and changed sites.

"At book cover price" I was told "This year illegal downloads stole $4,230,000 of your sales"

What did I do? I said "No thanks".  Uploaders are thieving scum and would not even pay 50p/50c a download -I'd be happy with that and my financial problems would be solved. Oh, if you choose to illegally download books and STEAL from creators who need every penny to survive then you are a dirty, thieving piece of gutter shit.

I am getting too old to constantly chase these people down and report them while the thieving downloaders encourage them to continue their theft.

That $4,230,000 is NEVER going to come to me so I choose to ignore it. Theft in amongst 'comic fans' is rife -using copyrighted characters of other creators to create t-shirts, pins and other merchandise to sell AT comic conventions because "I'm just trying to earn some cash to pay the rent!" Because, obviously, these thieves cannot come up with their own original characters to sell and on Instagram their followers, despite being told it is theft, all offer to purchase illegal merchandise.

This is why I will NEVER offer pdf downloads from the online store.  A good few people who sell online have stopped the download sales app having discovered that they are being uploaded to illegal download sites. Too late.

It might be a better idea for the FBI and other agencies to identify illegal downloaders and name and shame them.

Tre appuntamenti al festival BilBOlbul

Carissime e carissimi, si avvicina BilBOlbul, il festival di fumetto che Hamelin organizza ogni anno a Bologna. Il festival si tiene dal 29 novembre al 1° dicembre, e tra i tanti eventi in programma (che potete leggere qui) ce ne sono alcuni che pensiamo possano interessarvi. Eccoli.

Mercoledì 27 novembre la fumettista Alice Milani presenta Università e Pecore (Feltrinelli), biografia disegnata di Don Milani, alle 18 al CorrainiMAMbo artbookshop. È il ritratto di un Don Milani battagliero,  conscio del valore dell’istruzione e della cultura. Conduce Gabriele Vitello della rivista "Gli Asini". Qui l'evento Facebook.

Venerdì 29 novembre, l'autrice Magnhild Winsnes incontra Federica Lucchesini alle 17 alla Libreria delle donne. Il suo Shhh (Mondadori) è uno dei migliori fumetti per adolescenti degli ultimi anni - lo trovate anche nelle bibliografie di Xanadu - e racconta con ironia il passaggio tra infanzia e pubertà. Qui l'evento Facebook.

Dal fumetto di Winsnes prende il nome il progetto Quando tutto cambia, che ha l'intento di fare educazione sentimentale con le storie. Dai libri di quattro autrici - Magnhild Winsnes, Rita Petruccioli, Zuzu e Silvia Rocchi - si sviluppano altrettanti percorsi di lettura dedicati a identità di genere, corpo e relazioni. I percorsi compongono una mostra di libri in Biblioteca Salaborsa (aperta fino al 23 dicembre) e quattro bibliografie di cui potete scaricare qui un'anteprima. Le autrici incontreranno poi alcune classi dei licei di Bologna.

BilBOlbul organizza anche visite guidate per le scuole alle mostre del festival: vi invitiamo a consultare il programma cliccando qui e, se interessati, a mandare una mail a formazione@bilbolbul.net. Vi aspettiamo a Bologna, dal 29 novembre al 1° dicembre!

TEASER - Ep. 47

Everything Now Uploaded to Comic Bits Online20

Although CBOs fate is more or less sealed due to financial problems I never say "never again" and with what I am learning about Google and its very possible plans for Blogger (getting rid of it) I have spent far more time on the internet (thanks to the laptop) than I want to.

Posts that appear here will also appear on the CBO WordPress site which now has everything transferred from here -actually far more posts than Blogger was stating  which means I was right about there being more posts! It took from 19:00 hrs Saturday til 04:00 hrs Sunday but now it's done.

HTTPS://COMICBITSONLINE20.WORDPRESS.COM/

Pretty basic at the moment as none of the old widgets seem to exist now!

New Site!!

As of today all CBO posts will be duplicated and posted on WordPress.

Most CBO past content should also move there so please bookmark this page

Golden Age Books and An Up-date On Pricing

Please note that the Ultimate Golden Age Collection cannot be reduced in price as it is sold at the bare minimum price.

And if there is one thing "Herr Professor" loves it is discovering and presenting long lost UK Golden Age (1939-1951) comic strips and characters from publishers such as Gerald Swan, Foldes, Denis M. Reader, Cartoon Art Productions and others.

Scanned and restored as best as can be considering the poor print quality of the rationing years -especially red, orange, yellow, blue and purple ink printing!

Ace Hart The Atomic Man!  The Tornado!  TNT Tom!  Dene Vernon!  Acromaid!  Cat-Girl! Bring 'Em Back Hank! Robert Lovett:Back From The Dead and so many other action heroes and humour strip characters -William A. Ward, Jock McCaill and a host of known and unknown creators contribute -either in single volume " 

Black Tower Gold" albums or all six collected into the 400+ pager -The Ultimate British Golden Age Collection!

The five separate volumes range from 68pp to 96pp each.  For well over 5 years they have been ridiculously priced at £6.00 ($8.00) which meant there was nothing in the way of profit or compensating for the amount of time and work put into each. And guess what? Absolutely no copies sold.  For that reason I have had to price them (still cheap) adequately so that they are each £8.00 ($10.00).  That still means you are getting better quality reproductions for far less money than an 8 pager or 12 pager comic from this period that may be moldy, torn or almost unreadable.

This is business.

Black Tower Super Heroes

Black Tower Super Heroes is/was/may be the title following on from the British Golden Age collections. It is a mix of GA/SA and new strips.

Issue 1 was out years ago. Issues 2-8 were completed 3 years ago but lack of finances mean they cannot be pdf converted and if no pdf...no book online.

Some changes have been made but these were the preliminary covers.

Now I shall give way to the Hon Lord Arthritic Hand,MP
