2771 Darkie's Mob
Darkie's Mob is being reissued as a hardcover by Titan this month!

This was an old John Wagner (who is fantastic) strip which was printed in the seventies in Battle. It later became the basis for BAD Company in 2000ad. I've got no idea where the um... questionable name came from.

160 pages, I don't know if that's the entire series... I never got through all of them, but they were very, very fun. I'm certainly going to buy this.

It was pretty fantastic. The original story arc was amazing, I didn't read any of the follow ups however.

I'm a black guy, and (-PLEASE KEEP READING-) I used to work with a guy who was about 15 years my senior. I used to buy 2000ad from time to time, and so did he. One time he asked me if I ever read this, at the time I had no idea what he was on about when he was talking about "Darkies Mob" or the "chidits" not liking it "up em".

A year or two later i think 2000ad or the Judge Dredd megazine ran a reprint of one of their campaigns, it was one of the most enjoyable comics I've read.

2782 Steve Ditko's original run on Spiderman.
I know there are quite a few other Ditko fans on here. I've been trying to find full-colour copies of his original run on Spiderman.

Unfortunately the commercially available stuff is all poor quality black and white. I haven't been able to find much more than the first issue it appeared in, Amazing Fantasy #15, and I've got no idea what issues Ditko was actually working on, but here it is anyway.

2463 DREDD THREAD
I figured the British comics legend JUDGE DREDD (and 2000AD) should have a thread to call their own.

As a kid I had the odd issue of 2000AD, and I collected 'Judge Dredd- Lawman of the Future' (which was a tie-in to that bloody Stallone flick) but have really gotten into Judge Dredd in a big way recently. The local library has loads of those new Judge Dredd 'Complete Case Files', big collected volumes of all the Dredd strips, so far I've read about 6 of them, that's a good 10 years worth of classic Dredd strips in a month. Also read 'Judge Dredd- The Complete PJ Maybe' and 'Emerald Isle' which I got in the Forbidden Planet sale for 99p.

I'm also building Dredd's helmet and Lawgiver MK1, with the intention of eventually doing a full costume (inb4 20 years for Jimping)

Any other 'Squaxx Dek Thargo' on here?

Has anyone else seen this?
The story is nothing special so far, but the art is pretty good, Jacen Burrows who did Bad World and Transmetropolitan, so lots of gore with small amusing details to notice.

The main thing I like about it is the baddies are all "crossed"; (it's a zombie apocalypse with intelligent rage zombies) but the markings on their faces make them look like england football fans.
I get the feeling the inspiration for this one was Ennis and Burrows going to an away match.

Does anyone know any way to get hold of Requiem in English? I've read two completely seperate books of it published in Heavy Metal, but that's it, as far as I'm aware it's not possible to buy a trade paperback in English.

Jesus... I mean it's written by Patt Mills so it's not like there wouldn't be a readership waiting for it. I honestly considered learning French just to read it, and no one should have to do a thing like that.

Anyway... if you ever get the chance, check it out, it's about nazi vampires from hell.

I read a load of them in one day and finished #8 still wanting more. This may or may not have to do with the fact that #8 finishes with our hero having sex with a demon baboon.

I used to read Viz all the time, recently I picked up a copy again and had a quick flick through.

Now... I thought I'd only stopped reading Viz for a short time, it's only just now that I've realised I had given up reading Viz for about seven fucking years, and when I started reading it again it was exactly the same, nothing had changed.

2712 Webcomic search :/
I'm looking for a webcomic; I can remember relatively little of it, except for these things:

It was quite bland, most characters having one or two colours, with backgrounds being of a certain colour for each character, and quite realistic art style. Characters included Satan, this druggie, and a cowboy.
They were pretty much all 3 panel strips usually featuring just one character talking.
A couple of strips I can remember include Satan describing Hell, and the druggie guy seeing spiders falling everywhere.

I think it may be defunct now, which is probably why I lost track of it.

Anyone know?

Dodgem Logic does indeed look good. I admire Moore's faith in the British appetite for more comics magazines. In fact the first issue was mostly articles rather than comics. I suppose it's more of an "underground zine" than a comics magazine. The hippy zine "Oz" (which Moore refers to in an article in Dodgem Logic) used to run quite a few comic strips and strange arty things in the 60s/70s. I look forward to reading the next issues.

New 8 issue series from Grant Morrison about a kid walking around his house and hallucinating. The first issue seems to be just setting the scene, but it's certainly intriguing. "Home Alone meets Lord of the Rings" apparently. http://au.comics.ign.com/articles/106/1062342p1.html http://www.dccomics.com/vertigo/comics/?cm=14143
The way that there are all these potentially significant objects lying around as the kid walks through the house reminds me a bit of one of those "escape the room" games like Crimson Room http://www.fasco-csc.com/works/crimson/crimson_e.php .
Issue #2 is out next week.

This forum has been a bit quiet for a while, so I thought I'd start a thread about the last comic I read. I picked this up in the 90% off sale Borders were having when they closed.

I never read any of Adrian Tomine's stuff before, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's not ground-breaking, and it does seem to be the same introspective fair you'd pick up at any small-press comics convention; but the way it's paced is really interesting, scenes change with no warning, but it never gets confusing.
I also picked up Summer Blonde by the guy in the same sale, I'll let you know if it's any good.

They've got more stuff about it, as well as excerpts on the website: http://www.drawnandquarterly.com/shortcomings/

Well Ross has got 220 on the first page and 240 on the second. It's similar numbers on the third and fourth so it just feels like a slow beginning.

Perhaps Ross' sense of pace is overly influenced by Steve Ditko's text-heavy pages. The difference of course is that Ditko is an evil genius - and even given that I still find some of his speech bubbles mini essays hard going.

I haven't read through the whole thing yet, so he might turn around at the end of the interview and say that's a whole bunch of cock.
