This week John has been finishing off A Life in Comics Part 4, about his time away from the comics world in the wilds of Scotland, including pages from a girls’ comic strip he had forgotten all about, Dumbells Academy.

There’s a Kickstarter out for Pat Mills, Gary Welsh and Phillip Vaughan’s Ragtime Soldier.  Pat and Joe Calquhoun’s ‘Charlie’s War’ was one of the best British comic strips ever.  If Ragtime Soldier is half as good it’s well worth supporting.

Steven Austin drew this poster of three well-known comic creators for John’s good friend Jacko.  If you think your lucky wall won’t faint with their awesomeness Steven will be selling a few prints at Lawless.  Bow wow!

Reg says:  I sadly will not be there as I have squirrels and rabbits to chase.
