I used to read Blast magazine in the UK. It only ran for 7
issues but had Lazarus Churchyard in. Well cool, shame it
flopped. That was around 1991 I think.

you gots taste dude..that's all electic stuff..but you are
lucky... some awesome stuff going on in European
comics..only a fraction of which gets translated into
English.

Spikee I am a huge Warren Ellis fan..and Lazarus Churchyard
is one of the few things by him I havent read...it's so damn
expensive and rare..you should try Transmetropolitan by him
it truly rocks...

Want me to scan Virtual Kiss? My scanner is broken but when
I replace it i'd be perfectly happy to do that for you. I
think I have a one off Laz thing also. can't remember.

photos?

Ah, OK, I remember now, that's Aleksandar Zograf. Yeah, he's
an extremely cool person, though, strangely enough, I don't
really dig his comics too much. Older ones were much more
powerful/ radical, IMO, the new ones are too "dreamy" and
politically correct.

Sorry, never heard of that guy. His early works were a bit
more sarcastic...

Green Arrow - DC comics circa 1994 are good.

Anyone here into the older comics like Buck Rogers and the
Green Hornet? When Ismoov and Bradbury used to write stories
for news stands in the 30's it was like a revolution, and
from charectures like Buck Rogers came Superman,
Spiderman... and the like. Some of those early comics are
funny as hell, good stuff
