FINALLY – Flex Mentallo coming late 2011

4. January 2011

Comments Off

At last – DC/Vertigo have announced they plan to release Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely’s brilliant Flex Mentallo in a deluxe hardcover in “Fall 2011″. The problems for the series – unavailable since the 4 issue comic series in ’96 – was the slight, teensie-weensie, similarity between Flex Mentallo (“hero of the beach”) and a [...]

(Fish Police 1 & 2 from Fishwrap 1985. Images grabbed from Comic Vine) Ignore the frankly terrible animated series – Steve Moncuse’s Fish Police is a comic I used to adore. I picked it up when Steve Moncuse self published it through Fishwrap, I picked it up when Comico published the one shots and the [...]

A slight return here to The Uncollecteds series I did at the FPI blog over two years ago. The idea of The Uncollecteds was to try to gather together all of those comic series that are practically impossible to get hold of anymore. The rules were simple – if you wanted it, but couldn’t get [...]

For Gods Sake – COLLECT THIS – Wired World

31. July 2010

Wired World is one of those strips I had mentioned a while ago when I did the Uncollected series of posts here on the blog. But nothing really makes you realise just how much the strip should be collected as actually seeing some of it for the first time in years. There’s a collection of [...]

Back in August this year I put out the call to various comic folks looking to make a list of the essential comics that just weren’t available except as expensive rarities or bargain bin specials. These were comics that desperately needed collecting, so I thought long and hard and finally came up with the title [...]

Another in the Uncollecteds series, for the idea and the rules see the first post. This time it’s a straight A-Z, with the contributor in brackets alongside the title. 2001 – Jack Kirby (Paul Cornell) Give it the Essentials treatment because Kirby would, again, look a lot better without those muddy Marvel colours back then.

The Uncollecteds – Grant Morrison special

Another in the Uncollecteds series, for the idea and the rules see the first post. I knew there would be a Grant Morrison special as soon as I started this. If only because there’s a hell of a lot of Grant Morrison stuff that I own that I’d love to be able to get in [...]

Another in the Uncollecteds series, for the idea and the rules see the first post. I had an idea we’d be doing a special Alan Moore Uncollecteds at some point but as more and more responses came back pointing out all of the Alan Moore material that lies dusty and uncollected in comic book limbo [...]

Over the years I’ve seen many comics and owned a lot. And thanks to my decidedly obsessive nature with space I’ve gotten rid of a lot of comics. I’ve sold them, given them away, passed them on, cut them up for displays and even used a few as wallpaper (I was young, give me a [...]
