Fleetway Picture Library Classics Presents Jet-Ace Logan (graphic novel review)
I have to confess that I haven’t heard of ‘Jet-Ace Logan’ but am aware of one of its artists Ron Turner who drew the final two stories in this volume. The first two are drawn by German artist Kurt Caesar. Only the third story has a writer acknowledgement for David Motton. If you thought someone […]
Fleetway Picture Library Classics Presents Larrigan (book review).
A long while back I did query the Book Palace about seeing some of the other books they published and they included two others with this month’s issue of ‘Illustrators’. The first, ‘Fleetway Picture Library Classics Presents Larrigan’ is a western series illustrated by Spanish artist Arturo Del Castillo (1925-1992). Here we have all four […]
Assassin’s Creed #001 (comic-book review).
From its origins as a video game, the ‘Assassin’s Creed’ franchise has successfully been spun out into a number of different media, including graphic novels and comics. The central idea is that there are two hidden forces at work in the world and have been for centuries. One is trying to bring humanity into a […]

Moebius: the man, the legend (video documentary: comic-book genius).

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD (season 6 TV trailer).
Here’s the final trailer for the last – supposedly (we keep on getting told the thing is really, really, finished; then, like a zombie, it comes shambling back) – series of the TV journey that has been Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. It’s all about Bad Coulson – a little like Bad Santa, but a spy-fy […]
Alter Ego #159 July 2019 (magazine review).
After four issues where Michal T. Gilbert aka Mr. Monster has been giving us the correspondence of comicbook artist/writer Pete Morisi (aka PAM) that he had with the now late Glen D. Johnson, we get a mass of it this time. As Johnson never kept copies of what his own letters were, we only see […]
Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD: Who Is Scorpio? by Steranko & Co. (graphic novel review).
Oddly, I though the sequel to ‘Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD’ wasn’t available or out of print or not even out there and then the long river website’s algorithm popped it up and indicated very few copies left. It then became a panic buy just in case some of you lucky folk out there beat […]
Back Issue #113 July 2019 (magazine review).
You know how it is. A new issue of ‘Back Issue’ arrives, ahead of # 112 which arrived a couple days later, and instead of just reading the opening article, I ended up reading 20 pages in my first sitting. As the cover shows, this issue covers the 1989 ‘Batman’ film and it’s hard to […]
