But we will be looking at some other contemporary comics too as I feel that there are some exciting new developments of which "Mezolith" is a stunning example.<br /><br />I'm very much in accord with your Embleton suggestions Phil, and I am definitely keen to do Battleground and Colonel Pinto and perhaps brother Gerry's S.A.S. run as well as possibly Biggles, depending on copyright considerations.<br /><br />Mind you I'm already slightly playing with fire with my Barks postings and I did have a slight shudder of horror when I realized that someone in Burbank California with a Disney server address had checked out the relevant postings.<br /><br />But as I say on the Blog this is all for educational purposes and if we are notified that we are indeed transgressing we will remove the relevant postings.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-71958850130215226072010-04-14T19:04:24.668+01:002010-04-14T19:04:24.668+01:00...Aw, so long for now guys! :( You'll be miss......Aw, so long for now guys! :( You'll be missed, but as Dave says I can see this is the only way to go if you're ever to take your rightful place in the comic strip firmament. Fortunately Amazon have just sent my copy of Haggarty and Brockbank's superb Mezolith so I'll have something to keep me occupied in the meantime. :)<br /><br />Incidentally Peter, do you and David O. envisage the Cloud 109 crew becoming stars of a whole series of adventures (maybe even beyond the world of Cloud 109 itself), or does their story have a definite endpoint?<br /><br />As for whether I'd enjoy more Embleton after the current Wulf pages run out... do you even need to ask??! You bet I would!!! Wrath of the Gods is a must of course, but I'd also love to see his remaining (TV) Express contributions - especially the covers (though the B&W interior pages are outstanding too thanks to his gorgeous wash technique). Of course you wouldn't necessarily have to restore these unless you really wanted to. Also I guess it's possible that the 'Biggles' sequence might run into copyright problems as the character is still being successfully reprinted all over the world (in fact I think Ron's own version was actually collected into book form on the Continent - though not as yet in James Bigglesworth's home country!).Phil Rushtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115717268103349676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-41865724997333465892010-04-14T14:23:24.736+01:002010-04-14T14:23:24.736+01:00Actually you'll notice (couldn't resist) t...Actually you'll notice (couldn't resist) that there's some washing hanging out to dry rather forlornly in the background.<br /><br />Many thanks Dave for all your kind words - really do appreciate them.Peter Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15566601617123798061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816075755902555378.post-55667256897614363302010-04-14T12:31:27.476+01:002010-04-14T12:31:27.476+01:00I think that nobody could complain about being hun...I think that nobody could complain about being hung out to dry as regards the Cloud 109 story, Peter. You've been very generous with freebies, and having been privileged to see these pages in print I can only say that I am eagerly awaiting the time when I can put down my cash and hold the finished book.<br /><br />Btw I love Gina's face in that last panel.Dave Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14468228790874490693noreply@blogger.com
