Love this.
I consider myself a Wally Wood fan (with several originals of my own) but... I didn't know about this. Apparently in the early 60's Wally pitched a Sunday newspaper strip showcasing famous people, and made up some presentation pieces, like this one.

This took forever, but I am very glad to be able to write this morning that the entire run of Arthur magazine (2002-2008, 2012-13) is finally available online as single issue PDFs. Every page of every issue, either scanned or from the original digital files. FREE.

Many moons ago, we recommended @andrewdonkin.bsky.social, Eoin Colfer & Giovanni Rigano's book 'Illegal'. We have now read their follow-up 'Global' and it's just as powerful and moving as the first one. It's about climate change & the impact it has on communities & especially children. #EconSky

Great to see an exhibition opening tonight that made use of the space in Thames-Side Studios Gallery. This was Chimera, end of year show by artists from MASS Sculpture . Some lovely eye catching work. Especially the fab tree house created by my new BFF Jeremy with his fav graphic novel inside.

On a scorching Sunday in the UK, here’s today’s #StandingStoneSunday a cool black and white shot of an #avebury standing stone taken last time I was there which was last November. Enjoy your stones. Enjoy your Sunday. Stay safe. #neolithic

It’s a crowded old river Thames outside the #writing studio this afternoon. The large boat on the right is an old Mersey ferry that once hosted The Beatles. In the distance on the north shore is the sugar factory with its familiar tall towers. #london #photography

Boom time! Even just the words “Summer Special” remind me of sitting in the back of mum and dad’s car, heading to the south coast on holiday with a copy of glossy, oversized, Beano Summer Special on the seat next to me. (Also, still think about The Shadow Man daily. Agh.)

Great talk & book launch by Toby Hadoke at the BFI last night. His new book on TV’s Quatermass Experiment looking like the definitive story behind TV’s first SF classic. Nigel Kneale’s story has influenced so many other creators over the years. #tv #quatermass #books
