Rebellion Releases — 19 February 2025

Rebellion is delighted to announce that after the successful Kickstarter campaign for our revival of the classic romance comic Roxy, editions of the title are winging their way to backers now!

Featuring four tales of love and romance from some of the finest creators working in comics today, and with covers by Hannah Templer, Tula Lotay and Marguerite Bennett, this is an anthology guaranteed to leave you gasping for air!

Roxy features four all-new romance stories:

• The Getaway Girls by Alex de Campi and Erica Henderson, the queer supermodel heist adventure you never knew you needed!
• Banmoor by Magdalene Visaggio and Sterric, a trip back in time to the regency era!
• Flowers for Agatha by Sarah Gordon, a spirited walk through the undead woods!
• What I Was Made For by Nadia Shammas and Jaws Stone, a futuristic flirtation between soldier and mech!

Originally launched in 1958, the original Roxy ran for 288 weekly issues which caught the imagination of young readers across Britain. Now, the title returns for an all-new anthology featuring four modern romance stories bound to inspire a whole new generation.

But if you missed out on Roxy when it was running on Kickstarter last year, never fear: physical and digital copies of the collection are now available through our webshop as well – just in time to order ahead of Valentine’s Day!

This edition features Hannah Templer’s classical cover featuring moments from across all four stories, available as a gorgeous paperback – or as a digital copy to read on-the-go! Whatever your level of spice, Roxy has something for you as it revives the spirit of classic British romance comics for the 21st century.

And now, this week's releases... including Roxy...

• 16 Feb. Keir Starmer has said that his favourite "book" was Roy of the Rovers, while visiting a Ukrainian school. "It's a fabulous book—well known in Anfield. I love football, so all my books are about football."
• 16 Feb. Want to know some of the financial details about Diamond Comic Distributors (UK), formerly Titan Distributors... their 62 staff distribute comics and other goods to 400 accounts in the UK, Europe, Australia and the Middle East. More at Rich Johnson's Bleeding Cool website.
• 15 Feb. Martin Rowson explains why he is cutting back on his committments to The Guardian and announces a new subscription service to obtain prints of his cartoons. "Given that half the UK’s national daily newspapers now no longer publish a daily political cartoon, the Guardian’s commitment to and support for cartoons needs acknowledging, as does their quiet nurturing of new and diverse cartooning talent."
• 14 Feb. Forbidden Planet has bought out Mega City Comics from retiring Martin Kravetz. The Camden Town store will close briefly for a refit before reopening in a few week's time as Forbidden Planet Camden.
• 13 Feb. The Comics Journal's Tom Shapira looks at the collaborations of Garth Ennis and Jacen Burrows, who have worked together on The Punisher, Ribbon Queen and 303. "These comics are as grimly written and they are drawn, some of them are the closest approximation I’ve seen on the comics page to Cormac McCarthy."
• 12 Feb. Tripwire interviews Pat Mills about his new Great War comic, Ragtime Soldier, currently a Kickstarter project. "The name Ragtime Soldier comes from how the British soldiers sang, ‘We are Fred Karno’s Army, The Ragtime Infantry, we cannot fight, we cannot shoot, what earthly use are we?’ They sang it to the hymn The Church’s One Foundation!  That’s so Monty Python! Fred Karno was the king of slapstick and promoter of Charlie Chaplin."
• 6 Feb. The fallout from Diamond Distributors going into Chapter 11 bankruptcy has affected deliveries to Diamond UK (which is unconnected and a going concern); a deal is now in place with Image, who are exclusively distributed by Lunar in the US. However, Diamond will no longer carry titles by Mad Cave Studios or TwoMorrows, who are also distributed by Lunar. The latter in particular is a pain in the bum as they publish quite a few decent magazines and reference books like AlterEgo and The Jack Kirby Collector. Rich Johnson has more.
• 3 Feb. After months of allegations, a civil lawsuit has been filed against Neil Gaiman, suing him on counts of rape, human trafficking and more by a former nanny, Scarlett Pavlovich. The lawsuit also names Amanda Palmer for her role in "procuring" Pavlovich. I would suggest that you think carefully before you read the 28-page complaint, which is graphic and detailed.

Ruby M. Spankie

Talk about obscure: as far as I can tell, Ruby M. Spankie wrote only one novel, and that for a minor paperback firm way back in 1933.

It would appear that Ruby Mary Spankie, born in Inverness, Scotland, on 19 October 1898, lived most of her adult life in London. Her mother, Catherine, was widowed at around the age of 41 or 42 and raised her children—of which there were at least five—in Bedford. Catherine Spankie seems to have lived in India for at least a decade between 1886-96.

Through local papers and the occasional official record, we can touch base with Ruby at various points in her life. She was crowned May Queen at a May Fair held to raise money for the Building Fund of the St. Peter's Sunday Schools and Parish Rooms in May 1908. She attended Crescent House Ladies' College, Bedford. She appeared in the operetta at Bedford Town Hall, The Tree of the Golden Guineas, in 1914. In 1921, she was working as a shorthand typist at the War Office, and the family were living in Fulham.

Ruby was the author of And the World Said— (London, Gramol Publications [Adelphi Novels 35], 1933). Whether she continued writing novels or not is a mystery. A search for her name on Google doesn't get a single hit, but it is known that she wrote at least two plays: 'Sheltered' (1938), which was performed by the Southern Cross Players at the Twentieth Century Theatre, Westbourne (Spankie was the Honorary Secretary of the Society); and 'All Change' (1939) from the same team.

Ruby lived in Fulham after the war and was at the same address, 64c Fairholme Road, W14, from 1945 until her death in 1983. It would seem that she continued to have an interest in local theatre and was an actress with the Beaufort Players and appeared as Miss Marple in Murder at the Vicarage at St. Andrew's Hall, Vereker Road, Fulham, in 1952. She also appeared in Sit Down a Minute, Adrian (1953).

Comic Cuts — 14 February 2025

After the news last week that I had volume one of our next publication finished, I can now add that volume two is now complete. Subject to proofing the text, getting printed proofs and getting the approval of the copyright holders. Oh, and paying a license fee and then getting printed copies. So, nearly done then.

I'm not the world's fastest designer — it's something that I kind of fell into, having picked up a few tips while working in magazines and needing to keep production costs down to a minimum here at Bear Alley Books. The first time I used a design programme was for PBO, my mid- to late-Nineties paperback fanzine, some of which have recently landed in the collection of Jules Burt, whose Youtube channel now has a video of them.

I started using InDesign back in the late 2000s and I'm still using the same version. It's on my old PC, so at some point it's going to conk out, at which point I'll have to find some freeware that, hopefully, will have caught up with InDesign's features. (I have a similar problem with PhotoShop, but I have GIMP on my laptop, which does most of the resizing and touching up that I need to do for blogs and Facebook. Saves me firing up the PC and hopefully that will extend its lifespan.)

As well as my lack of training, there's also an over-enthusiasm to get things finished. So I "finish" the work and export the files to PDFs. And, yes, the quotes are deliberate, because the moment I save the file, I spot a mistake. Last night it was a missing caption. So I corrected it and exported the file. Which is when I noticed a couple of captions that needed titles in italics. So I corrected it and exported the file. But I'd missed some of the column separators and had to fix them before exporting the file. Being an old PC, each correction and export takes a little time.

And I might add that the latest version I have saved is the version that I need to proof, so there may be further corrections to make.

Talking of time-wasting, I spent an hour trying to save myself £4.49 postage on Amazon by finding a cheap book to bump up my order to free postage. Unfortunately, everything I wanted was supplied by someone other than Amazon, which led me to trying to find the books I had decided upon on eBay... which I did and which I then spent another hour on trying various combinations to take advantage of a 4 for the price of 3 offer that one dealer had going. I spent an age trawling through wants lists to try and find a book in the same offer that was around the same price.

Final price: £27 and I still had to find yet another book that I could order through Amazon to get my free postage. I eventually found something that I wanted at a not unreasonable price that was supplied through Amazon. But I'd wasted most of an afternoon trying to spend £5.51 and ended up spending over £30.

That said, the first book I ordered arrived to day and I'm very pleased with the condition for the price, which was only a pound or two more what I would have paid for a beaten-up copy in a charity shop.

What was the book, you ask? Earthbound by Joe Haldeman. I have quite a few of his books, but there were a couple of series that I needed to complete, including the Worlds trilogy and the Marsbound trilogy. I also picked up a couple of stray one-off novels I didn't have, a collection of short stories, and one of the Gollancz SF Masterworks that I'm missing. I think I ended up ordering eight books in total rather than just the one I needed, but I bet I'm not the only collector who has done that! I should add that the majority were American paperbacks of books that never received a British paperback printing, so they're unlikely to turn up cheaply in charity shops. Here's my Joe Haldeman UK paperback cover gallery.

I've used a couple of Haldeman covers for our column header in memory of Chris Moore, who died on 7 February, aged 78. Moore was one of my favourite book cover artists, his paintings appearing on everything from the SF Masterworks series to Jilly Cooper novels—an incredibly talented artist. I loved his SF covers and he was turning out superb spacecraft and fantastic, futuristic landscapes for almost fifty years (his first being Extro by Alfred Bester in 1975).

Looking at his collection, Journeyman (which has a very good interview by Stephen Gallagher), I couldn't help but notice that the first SF Masterworks cover, for Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, had previously appeared on another book, but rotated through 90 degrees. I'm now wondering how many other covers for the series were actually reprints. But that's a project for another day.

Commando 5827-5830

It’s almost Valentines Day, Commando fans, and just because we love you so very much, we’ve got another set of fantastic stories of grit and valour just for you. We know, we spoil you – but you’re worth it! Issues 5827-5830 go on sale from today, Thursday 13th February 2025!

5827: Kampfgruppe Falken: Cannon Fodder King

The men of Kampfgruppe Falken were expendable, a cannon fodder unit easily replaced — or that’s what General Heiss thought. More than anything, Heiss wanted to replace the king of the cannon fodder – Major Heinz Falken himself!
    For this, Heiss had a devious plan to force Falken to face his toughest battle yet – a fellow German who was built like a dreadnought and had a punch like an artillery shell– a man named Major Klaus Vogel. He was determined to turn Kampfgruppe Falken into Kampfgruppe Vogel!
    Major Heinz Falken returns, and this time he’s got competition! Will he be able to hold onto command, or will this brawny usurper be too much even for him? Whatever happens, there’s a fight on top of a tank!

5828: Last Chance

Sergeant Ben Lockner was always the first into action and the last out — a fighting machine, a soldier who knew no fear, the type of NCO whose men would follow him anywhere.
Some folk wondered what made Ben tick, what special courage kept him cool as ice in the hottest action. They all had their own answers but not one of them was anywhere near the truth... for Ben wanted to die fighting, to wipe out his secret past!
    Here at Commando, we don’t believe in last chances – so if you missed this classic issue the first two times we printed it, now’s the time to get stuck in! With an amazing cover by Penalva, this is one issue you won’t want to miss!

Story: Gentry

Originally published June 1971.

5829: Sword of Destiny

Greece, 1941. Fatigued by a losing battle, four British soldiers take shelter in the home of a local hunter, who tells them a tale that has been passed down through his family for generations.
    In ancient times, a young blacksmith was exiled from his home by an invading tyrant. Unsure of his fate, he wandered the land. But the gods had a plan for him. He would lead a force to take back his home. He would wield the sword of destiny!
    An epic story for you fans of Greek mythology, this issue has it all: action, adventure, even a fight with wolves – we’ve not been Spartan with this one! No need to muse about picking it up, it’s the stuff of legend!

Story: Ferg Handley

Cover: Alejandro Perez Mesa

5830: Stranded!

It had been some years since Private Jack Wilmot had seen any action, although as orderly to a fiery Brigadier, he’d more than once accompanied the officer to front-line positions. This time, however, it looked as if they’d bitten off more than they could chew — they had been shot down in the depths of the jungle and were stranded in enemy-held territory.
Now they’d need all their luck, and a bit of deception too, if they were to survive...
    Yet another amazing Penalva cover for this set’s silver issue. We’re off for another adventure in the Burmese jungle with two soldiers who don’t quite see eye-to-eye. Let’s hope they can make it out in one piece!

Cover Story: The 2000AD Design Art of Robin Smith by Karl Stock
Rebellion ISBN  ‎ 978-183786435-5, 12 February 2025, 176pp, £24.99. Available via Amazon.

The early 80s saw 2000 AD hit its golden era. With Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Sláine and more firing on all cylinders it became the UK’s most exciting and innovative comic. Its covers played no small part in its appeal, and those covers were the brainchild of Robin Smith whose job was to lay out a cover design to pass to an artist who would transform it into the finished product.
    This collection of some of Smith's cover layouts shows just how integral his ideas were to some of 2000 AD’s most famous and revered covers, and it’s a fascinating glimpse into the creative process.
    Featuring covers by some of the galaxy’s greatest artists, including Brian Bolland (The Killing Joke), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Kevin O’Neill (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Mick McMahon (Judge Dredd), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Alan Davis (Captain Britain), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Cam Kennedy (Rogue Trooper), Massimo Belardinelli (Ace Trucking Co.), Eric Bradbury (Mytek The Mighty), Brett Ewins (Johnny Nemo), Glenn Fabry (Sláine), Ian Kennedy (Dan Dare), José Ortiz (The Thirteenth Floor), Cliff Robinson (Judge Dredd), Kim Raymond (Roy of the Rovers), Ron Smith (Judge Dredd), Brendan McCarthy (Rogan Gosh) and Bryan Talbot (Nemesis the Warlock).

Comic Cuts — 7 February 2025

I've had a bit of a lazy week and haven't moved as far forward as I should have. That said, corrections have been made to the first volume of our next project and I've busied myself finalising the text for the introductions of the second volume, which have required some trimming.

The first of two pieces that are going into volume two is almost done. I spent a whole afternoon on the opening page, which was going to be a dramatic spread of a brooding graveyard, but the end result was not nearly as good as I'd imagined. The next version was much better, but still wasn't quite right and I had to rethink again. I'm now on version 3, and I'm much happier now having switched to a three column format. You'll see, hopefully sometime in March.

One of my lazy days was partly spent re-reading Daredevil from the beginning of the Brian Michael Bendis era (2001). DD was the one comic I kept buying when I all-but quit American comics in around 2000, although I had been heavily cutting back during the previous five years until I was reading (a) Daredevil; (b) anything by Bendis, Alan Moore or Ed Brubaker. I would occasionally dip into a series that looked fun, but even that petered out after a few years.

Nowadays, my comic book reading is pretty much limited to whatever Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips put out. My current re-reading plan is to complete the Bendis and Brubaker eras (the 2000s) and then check out the more recent work of Chip Zdarsky (2019-23), which are available in two omnibus editions.

Mel and I are also working our way through the Daredevil TV show that Netflix put out in 2015-18. We watched season one last year and we're currently at the end of season two. We'll get to season three in the not-too-distant future, ahead of the relaunch on Disney+—Daredevil: Born Again—which is due to start on 4 March for a nine week run. So we should be able to get through three before bingeing Born Again.

The other show I'm watching is High Potential, which, coincidentally, is produced by Drew Goddard, who produced the Netflix Daredevil show. The two couldn't be more different (which is why I pair them together). This is a lighter-hearted, brighter, more bubbly police procedural with a fish-out-of-water female lead. She's a single mum of three kids with a 160 IQ who is taken on as a consultant on the agreement that her new boss will investigate the disappearance of her first husband many years earlier.

Its mystery of the week format means I can dip in and out whenever I fancy something light and fluffy.

When I heard about it, I thought it sounded a bit like a French show I'd heard about, Miss Holmes. This was about Sherlock's granddaughter who has a low-level job with the police but who proves to be invaluable in solving a case. Now, I have to admit that I've only seen half an episode because the auto-generated subtitles were absolutely awful, out of sync with the action and just meaningless in some instances. no point in watching a mystery show if you can't follow the plot...

However, I've just checked to see if there was any connection and it turns out that there was a French-Belgian show called HPI: Haut potential intellectuel that began broadcasting in 2021. By nefarious means I have tracked down some episodes where the subtitles seem OK, so I'll give that a watch over the next few days.

Also part of my lazy weekend, I managed to read a good chunk of Death in the Headlines, a 1951 crime thriller by Robert Sharp, who will be the subject of an essay at some point in the future. And I also started reading A Passion for Passion by Alice Fraser, which I have been waiting on for years since it was announced by Unbound. We're long-time fans of Fraser (podcaster with The Bugle, The Gargle) and always loved the "adverts" she produced for D'Ancey LaGarde's romantasy sci-fi novels (always with "a supernatural twist"). They're the sort of hot 'n' sexy books released as e-books with Fabio-inspired AI covers. You can hear a selection of them here... but only if you don't mind multiple mentions of voluptuous creamy breasts, voluminous penises and the need to bang.

Rebellion Releases — 5 February 2025

One of the most popular and influential British comic books of all time is to get its first new chapter in more than 40 years.

Created by writer Mike Butterworth and artist Don Lawrence, and running for almost two decades in the pages of Ranger and Look and Learn, The Trigan Empire has influenced generations of storytellers, including renowned film-maker Duncan Jones (Moon, Rogue Trooper).

Drawing heavily on ancient history and mythology, the series detailed the long-past events of an empire on the distant planet of Elekton. But it was Lawrence’s stunning painted artwork that made the series a groundbreaking hit, changing the face of the comic book medium and immersing readers in new worlds of imagination.

And now, for the first time since 1982 – the Trigan Empire will rise once again!

From the award-winning creative team of Michael Carroll (Judge Dredd, Dreadnoughts), and Tom Foster (Judge Dredd), New Adventures from the Trigan Empire picks up the torch to continue Butterworth and Lawrence's classic comics story.

This brand new original graphic novel will be published on 18 November in a luxurious hardcover edition, with a special numbered webshop edition available exclusively from the 2000 AD and Treasury of British webshops.

While the original series detailed the rise of the mighty Trigan Empire, this new graphic novel depicts its fall. Decades have passed since the empire reached its zenith and an ageing Emperor Trigo has started to think about who his successor may be. His right-hand man and nephew, Janno, is perceived as the natural successor - but Trigo's abandoned son, Nikko, has long harboured a grudge against his father and now, having built his own Empire whilst in exile, he's in perfect position to take revenge on his family and seize the Empire he believes is rightfully his....

Will the Trigan Empire rise... or fall? Don't miss the beginning of an incredible new saga!

Originally titled ‘The Rise and Fall of The Trigan Empire’, the series debuted in the first issue of children’s educational title Ranger in September 1965 and then in Look and Learn from June 1966, when the two titles merged. Unusually for the time, the strip was printed in full-colour, Lawrence’s lush and detailed painting accentuating the epic nature of Butterworth’s scripts, which drew heavily on the history and imagery of the ancient Greek and Roman civilisations, while also evoking the pulp serials of Flash Gordon and Garth, to create a rich and enthralling universe of stories. The series ran in Look and Learn until its closure in April 1982.

Since 2020, collected editions of the classic The Rise and Fall of The Trigan Empire have been a major sales hit for Rebellion, which now cares for the largest archive of English language comic books in the world. Measuring 20.96cm by 27.62cm, these editions present Lawrence’s artwork as it was meant to be seen and introducing its thrilling and entrancing storytelling to a whole new audience.

And now, this week's release...
