Overrated American exceptionalism and base culture anyway...
I was a Roy of the Rovers and Tiger lad in the 70s!! 🤣

For some reason, this cheers me up enormously.

I know almost nothing about comics, except that I now plan to open a comic shop called "51st State".

Becky Burke is a British comic book artist (R E Burke) and has been detained by ICE in the US. Know any lawyers that can help her?

davidallengreen.bsky.social•67 days ago

None I am afraid. I am sorry.

oldhobbit.bsky.social•67 days ago

WTF? Why are our politicians not all over this? Fuck Trump.

DC Comics is one of my favourite examples of RAS Syndrome because the name literally means: "Detective Comics Comics".

Im old enough to remember PCs with stickers saying "Made with Windows NT Technology".

NT stood for New Technology.

georgeweeks2014.bsky.social•67 days ago

Oho! This one is going straight to the list.

May also be of interest to @mckelvie.bsky.social @andydiggle.bsky.social @tulalotay.bsky.social and others in industry on here.

Don’t forget @iandunt.bsky.social

davidallengreen.bsky.social•67 days ago

If you had checked the earlier replies, you will see I have not.

alexisconran.bsky.social•67 days ago

Haha! Of course!

mckelvie.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep. It's a bad time! Especially as the market wasn't doing that well to start with.

davidallengreen.bsky.social•67 days ago

This may also amuse @iandunt.bsky.social

Apparently all the posh omnibus/absolutes I like are published in China, to give it that extra bit of comedy

feelingantsy.bsky.social•67 days ago

Who does hellblazer / sandman etc

So, issues and editions of "All American Superman" can flow freely between Canada/China and Europe during Trump's tantrum trade wars.

jonroberts.bsky.social•67 days ago

The "S" stands for special delivery, which is now what's required for Americans to buy a superman comic.

I can't believe the two things I teach you about are coliding like this.

stephenswan.bsky.social•67 days ago

Holy smoke Batman (as someone once said..).

st-ivo.bsky.social•67 days ago

I did not see that coming. Too delicious

mehero.bsky.social•67 days ago

Where are they written?
I'm a bit worried about too many plots featuring senile megalomaniacs and drug-addled megalomaniacs.

antdan.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah - reports suggested a month ago that single issues would have to be 5 pound a pop as soon as the increases kick in. Lots of Pull Lists getting dropped.

davidallengreen.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not if they are imported from Canada though.

antdan.bsky.social•67 days ago

That would make more sense - especially as it was Bleeding Cool reporting it at the time.

davidallengreen.bsky.social•67 days ago

A lot of (understandable) alarmism - but not all American things are, well, American.

stiggylou.bsky.social•67 days ago

Well, they are American (the continent), just not USA 😉

Latest character is ‘Trumpman’.

By day, an orange senile narcissistic golfing buffoon.

At night he becomes a globally evil super villain, with copious lying & CAPS LOCK as his only superpowers!
