Help myself, artist Charlie Gillespie and letterer Jim Campbell to get RUBY TUESDAY published, by supporting the Comicscene Kickstarter. If we reach £5k the strip will get published and the creators - us! - might actually get paid. Thanks!

"TRICKED, YES? TRICKED BY A FEEBLE TIME-TRAVELER AND DUMPED HERE..."
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on British comics cyborg bounty hunter Death's Head I, dumped on Earth-6161, and stop the roof of the Baxter Building -- Gee, I wonder who he'll run into in there? Pages from "Death's Head" Vol. 1#9. August, 1989. Marvel UK.
Furthermore. My favorite line of these four pages has to be this one, and it's beyond clever and totally ingenious!:
"Guns on the roof, pretty advanced transport. Maybe owners even have a time machine? Just hope they're nice, sane normal people..."
-- DEATH'S HEAD to himself (Earth-616)

The new batch of @2000adcomic audiobook adaptations came out this past week. I think it was just last week that I proclaimed Dredd vs Death to be an all-time favorite comic, so of course I had to listen to this audiobook version. It’s a multi-cast recording with music and sound effects, but otherwise a pretty direct adaptation of the comic. Peter Serafinowicz and Amber Rose Revah are fantastic as Death and Anderson. I’m still getting used to Adam Basil as Dredd, more so because he’s like the fifth actor I’ve heard as Dredd, and it’s a slightly different interpretation than I’d gotten used to in previous adaptations. Because it adapts the Essential Judge Dredd collection, this’ll be more of an Anderson story overall than a Dredd one, and I’m glad to see her get more time in the spotlight. #thismakesmehappy #2021reading #books #audiobook #audiobooks #audiodrama #2000ad #2000adaudiobook #comics #britishcomics #judgedredd #judgedreddvsdeath #essentialjudgedredd #penguinrandomhouse #prhaudiobooks #judgedeath #judgeanderson https://www.instagram.com/p/CiVEgDJris_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

💥REPOST @deadmensboots 📢 “Finally got around to reading the hauntingly atmospheric Shelter: Early Doors by Lucy Sullivan. A folk-horror that dials into themes of displacement, community and trauma.  The story begins with Ealga ‘Ellie’ Culhoun as she arrives in Sheperds Bush, London, having fled from Ireland. The year is 1969 and Ellie’s cousin Tommy is helping her to find her feet with a job at his local. Despite Tommy’s hospitality, his intentions run darker…  Early Doors creates an uneasiness for the reader, as streets and characters creep across each page and shadows linger. Sullivan’s art sculpts an eerie space, one which becomes emblematic of the new and uncertain world Ellie finds herself in.  Many of the characters Ellie meets are equal parts friendly and menacing, which emphasises a feeling of unease. This is especially true of the men in the story, as their behaviour is never challenged in their community and the onus is on women to facilitate or adjust their ways. It all adds to a creeping sense of dread for Ellie and readers alike.  After Ellie turns down an invitation to join her colleague and some of the rowdy locals, she is met with, “Honestly, Ellie! Lighten up! Just a bit of fun innit?”. Ellie's house-keys are slipped between her knuckles [3] as more advances are made before she heads for home. It's a strong visual cue, paired with the vertical slicing of the panels and splashes of red, that serves as a warning to the violence that stalks the streets.   The night’s events set her on a path to Mammy Magee, a figure of power and shelter for women in the community. Sullivan’s use of colour on the page [4] instantly brings Mammy’s warmth and home to life, although you’re never quite sure if that warmth will burn Ellie. Yet Mammy is a character to be reckoned with and one who will facilitate justice when others turn a blind eye... Shelter: Early Doors deserves your attention!” #comicbookreview #earlydoors #shelterearlydoors #shelterthecomic #folkhorror #londonstories #britishcomics #indiecomics #smallpresscomics #smallpress #indiecreator #comiccreator #womenincomics #comicbook https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl9FwB3MdZ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Troy backed this on @kickstarter Daughters of Albion from @wildrivercomics So far so good. A cool premise, about a young woman in near future police state London who's haunted by a recurring dream about the Thames. A very nice looking comic with some great artwork, will definitely check our more by Wild River Comics. Personally, we're far more interested in comics about the supernatural than we are superheroes, so this is right up our street. #sweetnightmares #horrorfan #horrorfilm #horrorcomics #comics #comicfan #ukcomics #indycomics #indyfilm #comicwriter #comicart #creators #filmart #ecomic #smallpress #vfx #clipstudiopaint #britishcomics #wildriver #albion #albionwinter #aphelion #supernatural #digitalcomics #london #thames #art https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbcH_vMiV2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IN PRAISE OF "DREDD" -- EASILY ONE OF THE KOOLEST SCI-FI/ACTION/COMIC BOOK MOVIES EVER MADE.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on film stills to the 2012 sci-fi/action film "DREDD," based on the "2000 AD" British comic strip "Judge Dredd" and directed by Pete Travis with a screenplay by Alex Garland. The film was a notable box office disappointment, but is now lauded as a cult classic in the sci-fi/action/comic book movie genre.
[first lines]
"America is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges."
-- JUDGE DREDD (screenplay by Alex Garland)

These are the stories that made me a Judge Dredd fan. I’ve probably read the Dredd vs Death stories here at least as many times as any other comics in my life. This particular volume collects not only those stories, with beautifully reproduced art by @brian.bolland, which introduce not only Judge Death, but also Judge Anderson, but the first Anderson solo story, newly colored, and some miscellaneous other Death stories. The Essential Dredd line has collected some important stories, but this is the one I’d give to someone unfamiliar with the character as an introduction. #thismakesmehappy #comics #britishcomics #2000ad #2000adcomics #judgedredd #essentialjudgedredd #dreddvsdeath #brianbolland #brettewins #johnwagner #alangrant #judgeanderson #cliffrobinson #robinsmith #books #2022reading #bookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChkP_tll_F6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These are the kinds of covers kids' comics had when we were young. Probably explains a lot. We're not complaining. Maybe kids today should be exposed to more horror instead of boring cartoons about talking cars? #sweetnightmares #horrorfan #horrorfilm #horrorcomics #comics #comicfan #ukcomics #indycomics #indyfilm #comicwriter #comicart #creators #filmart #ecomic #smallpress #vfx #clipstudiopaint #vampires #vampirella #2000ad #rebellion #scream #screamqueens #vamp #blood #albionwinter #aphelion #britishcomics #treasuryofbritishcomics https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGb5eVKSQO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
