It's been announced they are making a squeal to Watchmen with no Alan Moore.

Won't make me squeal - and sure to be crap without Moore's involvement - can they even do that make sequals to books without the writer's permission? If so I think i should make Harry Potter - bound to be come money in that!

The copyright is owned DC, when Moore wrote it the contract said DC would own it as long as it's published and they said under the table they will stop publishing after a year or so then the rights will go to him but every now and then they release a new version to renew the contract and it's one the reasons he hates DC now.

Fuck yes.

Best. News. Ever.

Really? But he announced yesterday that JH Williams III is doing the art (very DC looking then) - so I'll get confused and think it's written by Alan Moore!

“When I finished writing THE SANDMAN, there was one tale still untold. The story of what had happened to Morpheus to allow him to be so easily captured in THE SANDMAN #1, and why he was returned from far away, exhausted beyond imagining, and dressed for war. It was a story that we discussed telling for SANDMAN’s 20th anniversary… but the time got away from us. And now, with SANDMAN’s 25th anniversary year coming up, I’m delighted, and nervous, that that story is finally going to be told,” said Gaiman.

DC Entertainment Co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio added, “As accomplished as Neil Gaiman is in other media—whether it be novels, film and even music—he still has an incredible passion and love for comics. It’s exciting to have him back. J.H. Williams will be the perfect complement to Neil’s writing. He has a history of creating art that pushes the boundaries of the medium.”

Well throughout the original run he managed to write to the strengths and styles of different artists, so I have no doubt he'll be able to again.

I like what Gaiman is saying about the being one more story to be told, I remember reading it and wondering why he was captured so easily. Hopefully it wont be as dull as the Death spin offs.

I found my issue five of Spiderman, and the first 15 issues of Star Heroes featuring Battlestar Gallactica (and later to become X-Men) basically all of these issues http://britishcomics...iki/Star_Heroes) in my dad's loft at the weekend - is it worth anything?

Depends on the condition most of the time and below is a buyers guide to show how much comics are worth but it's in dollars though.

waste of time that - I registered - neither Star Heroes nor Spiderman #5 is listed.

You could try going to nearest comic book shop and asking. Star Heroes wouldn't be worth too much due to it being UK and the market is smaller here I think and Spider-Man 5 would depend on if it's a UK re-print or an US import.

It's a US reprint I bought when I lived in the Pacific - there's a whole box of US Imports I bought in the Taiwanese shop as a kid, but I've not looked through them all yet.

Plus lots of UK stuff like all the Blue Peter Annuals until 1987, Jackie Annuals (I think they may be my sisters), Pippin and Playland comics, Barnaby The Bear comics, Pippin Annuals, the Babar Annual and the Parsley Annual, a Swap Shop annual, Eagle Annual #1 to #3, loads of PlayWays Annuals, and loads more

Read Sweettooth Volume 5 yesterday. I love this series, keeps on adding a slight layer of intrigue while revealing others. It's really compelling storytelling, a fantastic mix of real horror balanced against sweet, engaging characters with perfectly timed twists. Already desperate for the next volume.

I've got every copy of 'Match' magazine from 96-98 is it worth anything? laugh.png

Some of my best work in football mags was in those years! Football memorabilia is worth money 50 years down the line - if it's mint. Look at the demand for Charles Buchan's Football Monthly - check this site: http://www.soccerbilia.co.uk/

Edited to add: Bloody hell one of the mags I did (Striker) is on there at £3.95 an issue - I had everyone of them until I moved house, plus masses of SuperReds, Liverpool Monthlies and the like

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
