#LunchtimeReading : revisiting an old superfiend, with the 2000AD Judge Death Mega Special, with cover artwork (of course!) by the mighty Brian Bolland, nicely timed for the spooky season.

And yes, I have been reading this comic so long I remember Bolland drawing his anti-life character way back in his original appearance!

#LunchtimeReading : surprise gift from a dear friend, who picked up Jacques Tardi's Du Rififi a Menilmontant when she was in France (my favourite French comics creator). Good practice for my French too!

#LunchtimeReading : going old school with Bob Siverberg's Downward to the Earth, the July pick for the #Edinburgh SF Book Group.

Read so much Silverberg in my teens & twenties, but it's been ages since I last read him, rather enjoying it, like meeting an old friend.

#LunchtimeReading : catching up on the most recent Progs of the mighty 2000 AD. Enjoying the drokk out of a short, Judge Dredd Vs Strontium Dog, which links back to a classic Dredd/Johnny Alpha from several decades ago.

Penned by Garth Ennis, while the fab Henry Flint carefully shades some nods to the late Carlos Ezquerra into his artwork here, a nice touch for the fans but also, I am sure a sign of respect to the master.

#LunchtimeReading : starting The Sun Rising by Prof Anna Whitelock.

Confused our poor Bloomsbury Books rep when he told us they had a new book about James I, and I asked which, Jimmy I, or Jimmy VI & I? 😋

#LunchtimeReading : starting Is a River Alive?, the forthcoming Robert MacFarlane, coming out at the end of April from Penguin.

Robert always conjures a sense of wonder about the natural world, I've so been looking forward to this.

#LunchtimeReading : enjoying a 2000 AD catch-up, and advance peek at this week's Prog 2421, which also marks a remarkable 48 years since The Galaxy's Greatest Comic launched.

And yes, I've been reading it right from the very start. Young me back then would blow his little mind if he knew when he grew up he'd get to chair some of those creators in talks, much less go have a pint with them afterwards

#LunchtimeReading : topping up my Thrill Power with a 2000 AD catch up. Loving R M Guera's art on Rob Williams's new Dredd strip. Uniform and helmet design reminding me of very early Dredd by the mighty & much-missed Carlos Ezquerra

#LunchtimeReading - @2000ad & Dredd Megazine catch-up. Loving the way Conor Boyle is riffing on Ezquera's original 1970s Dredd visuals for the early-set Mega City 2099 he & Kenneth Niemand are doing. Lovely touch, especially for long-time readers.
