- Panini received a fee from BBC. BBC/Bad Wolf generously paid Dave and I an ex-gratia sum which they didn't have to do. But not Panini. UK comic publishers simply can't compute the value of 'doing the right thing'. The poor things genuinely don't understand. I feel sorry for them.This Post is from an account that no longer exists.

- Thanks to everyone for their kind thoughts about Kevin's brilliance, and the huge difference he made to British comics. We've lost a superstar.
- I've nothing but praise for the BBC, Bad Wolf, Russell, David Tennant and the production crew on Star Beast. They were all brilliant. But the original comic publishers –no surprise– don't come out of it so well. I didn’t get a bean in comic royalties.YES! I was talking to a retailer today who told me that comic has rocketed from around 30 quid to 200 overnight.
- Just heard the news of Kevin's passing. I'm lost for words. To quote Tony Skinner, who knew Kev well, 'Why can't cool people live forever?' Kevin was the coolest.
- So sad to hear the news. Ian was a mainstay of 2000AD, especially in its earliest days, and helped set the style for a new, cool direction of comic science fiction. He will be greatly missed.RIP Ian Gibson. He was one hell of an artist. I definitely learned from his work, especially the way he drew figures.
- Slaine The Horned God Anniversary Limited Edition is a thing of beauty. Thanks to the team @Rebellion for making it happen!
00:00 - Olivier Ledroit's cover for Requiem 12: The Fall of Dracula. He's only got 13 pages left to do, am impressed with his speed!
- Olivier smashes it again. Requiem 12: The Fall of Dracula, out next year
- Hear! Hear! Absolutely agree. We need to go back to comics' working class roots. As one artist memorably said, 'Graphic novels are fat comics with bits of cardboard around them'
- I'm amazed Elon Musk knows about Dredd - maybe he grew up reading 2000AD? In which case perhaps we have to take some responsibility for the way he's turned out.Replying to @odarodletnilc@PatMillsComics would Dredd, in fact, drive a cybertruck?
- Leo Manco sent me this drawing of Slaine he did for a private commission. As impressive as always!
- Amazing documentary on Requiem! Great to see all those images put together. Even if you don't have French, it's still pretty easy to follow 👌Heydihoh ! Après un an d'absence, je suis très heureux de vous annoncer le retour de Mythologics ! Cette fois ci, nous allons explorer les enfers vampiriques selon Mills et Ledroit. Voici REQUIEM : CHEVALIER VAMPIRE /// RT = 👹 youtu.be/0SQO-KCydDo
