So that was Sunday June 22nd 2025. Crikey. Another day done, another (almost) here. So it goes. This is the way. (Dated this very day in 1978, a mere 47 years ago, 2000AD #74, with its horrortastic cover by Mike McMahon featuring Judge Dredd and the fearsome Satanus.) And so to bed…

The final issue of Krazy comic, with the centre spread announcing the "merger" with Whizzer & Chips. Great news for all readers, indeed. 🙄

I just picked up issue 1 of the Fighting Fantasy magazine Warlock for £15, which is a great price. It's a little worn but it'll just be nice to own it again.

Today's TTRPG purchase - completely by chance I found the 1985 Games Workshop Judge Dredd RPG, complete and fully intact with the character tokens uncut, for £25. I recently lamented parting with my hardback copies, so to find it in this condition and at this price is astounding.
