Thriller Comics, later titled Thriller Comics Library and even later Thriller Picture Library, was a British comic book magazine, published in series of digest sized issues, originally two per month, later four. In 1958, Louis found himself in amongst good company as Thriller Picture Library adapted and published TO TAME A LAND in issue 211. Its stories were mainly historical adventure, featuring classic characters such as Robin Hood, Dick Turpin and the Three Musketeers, western characters such as Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill Hickok, adaptations of classic adventure novels and films, and original characters such as Captain Flame, Max Bravo and Battler Britton.

BATTLER BRITTON N°121

[penelopecat]

Getting a bit caught up posting what I’ve read this past week. This collection of Battler Britton tales from @britcomics is maybe more notable for the Hugo Pratt art than the stories, but those stories are pretty fun too. #thismakesmehappy #books #2021reading #bookstagram #battlerbritton #hugopratt #warpicturelibrary #britishcomics #treasuryofbritishcomics #warcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8FcT3p5ML/?utm_medium=tumblr

(ok, still pondering on what a crack of doom is) Even more electric when Battler Britton is in the pilot's seat Thunderbolt ⚡ and lightning ⚡ very very exciting...

Director’s Cut Material #3- Garth Ennis Garth Ennis is one of the most singular voices in comics. Fans that have read his runs on Preacher, The Punisher or Hellblazer know all too well the unique blend of drama, action and over-the-top moments that combine to envelope the reader into the skewed world he presents. Ennis brought these sensibilities to WildStorm on many occasion with the creator-owned series The Boys with Darick Robertson, The Authority and Midnighter. Garth Ennis (Writer): I think Scott Dunbier (or it might have been someone else who he then replaced, possibly John Layman?) asked me if I'd like to do something and I came up with a typically irreverent take on the Authority- the characters didn't particularly interest me, not being much more than standard superheroes with a twist, but Warren and Mark had both recently done good work on them  so I was happy enough to follow along. Kev was originally supposed to be a one-off, but I liked the character so much the whole thing snowballed- not the first time that's happened to me. I wanted to do the third Kev series and Battler Britton, neither of which were expected to be stellar performers, and The Boys was still an unknown quantity- so it was suggested I might want to throw WildStorm a more commercial bone. The Midnighter was the only character I was interested in, being a psycho with a nasty sense of humour. There are worse ways to fulfill an obligation. Re: The Boys
          We started getting trouble almost instantly, mostly just little things here and there. But as regards the big fracas that ended it all, I'm still not exactly sure what went on between DC and WS- though I know Jim Lee was enormously helpful in getting the book free and clear so we could take it elsewhere. There was a brief period of frustration, maybe a week at the most, and then it became clear we were free and the world was our oyster. Getting the boot from DC was actually the best thing that could have happened on every level, certainly creatively speaking. The publicity was a very nice bonus indeed. WildStorm was no better nor worse than a number of places I've worked. Scott, Ben [Abernathy] and Jim were all good people and a pleasure to work with. Ultimately, the imprint's corporate ownership meant that only work-for-hire was viable there- attempting a creator-owned book led to disaster (albeit one that worked out better than I could have dreamed). Sadly, it meant that WildStorm just ended up being a good place to escape from.

All-new stories and classic reprints offer a heady mix from Rebellion in the next few months

All-new stories and classic reprints offer a heady mix from Rebellion in the next few months

2000AD was back to its “normal” format this week after its latest Regened edition, and the first episode of the new “Thistlebone” story in Prog 2221 proved a definite page turner (no spoilers!). I’m looking forward to the collection of the first story of this cracking folk horror series, out in April – and a lot more great collections are on the way, too, including a long-awaited third collection…
