I do hope ordering it direct isn't going to be more expensive than buying it at a show.....

Will put me off getting the next installment when it comes out!

I think I remember this strip from waaaayyy back... is it the one with a load of people walking about lost, and for some reason they run into a lost platoon of American soldiers, and end up fighting all kinds of weird monsters?  

I always remember one soldier saying "War is hell, sweet lips!" to a woman... bizarre, the things you remember from being a kid. Is that the same story, or am I going crazy?  It was drawn by Ortiz, anyway... I have vague memories of there being an episode called Hell's Kitchen, or maybe that was the title of the whole story... anybody help me out?!

That'd be House of Damon in the 80's Eagle, jimmibo, and the epsiode you recall (Hell's Kitchen) featured the debut of the nuclear hand-grenade!  Great stuff.

Ahhhh thanks!!!  Any idea if House of Damon was reprinted anywhere?  I'd love to read that classic again!

Yeah, I really enoyed House of Damon too, although it did slide steadily downhill from a great opening, as they moved through the house.  Hell's Kitchen was a good concept, but by the time we got to Beelzebub's Boxroom (or whatever) it was a bit tired.  

Ditto The Tower King, which had superb art and the silliest bit of pseudo-scientific rationale ever, and started off with some genuinely creepy post-apocalyptic stuff (the Tube Rats swarming up the escalators - I never go on the Underground without thinking about that image), before settling into a tiresome routine of Fabio rescuing the Cutesy Kids, a sort of Pirates-era Dante in chainmail.

This leads me to wonder whether we were again looking at launch-scripts by the usual suspects (Mills, Wagner, GFD, Grant?), before handing over to 'lesser' lights.  I know Mills stayed on Dare for a good while, and gave us the frankly excellent Fists of Danny Pike, but how many of the 'founders' stayed on board?

Y'know I was sold from the get go, especially when you sweetened the deal with news of some Doomlordy goodness.

But how about some kind of address? I tried writing out a cheque and putting it in my fridge under neath the cheese, but so far, nothing....

I know someone looking for the Thirteenth Floor collection.  I've tried two addresses two get David to see if he has one but no reply.  So does David or anyone else have one to spare?

That's weird - I was just thinking about José Ortiz a couple of hours ago; specifically the story with the skinhead with the spiderweb tattoo...  creeped me out something rotten, that did!
