Grim but true: As a teenager my best friend and I used to buy comic books from a small shop in the north of England. We used to chat with the owner, Ron.
Ron was later discovered to be a child kidnapper and killer, who had escaped detection while an innocent man went to prison for decades.
Note to 70s/80s cartoon & TV folks from me age 7-12: NONE of your ****ing ‘from the kids’ pov’ characters worked. Not Godzooky, not Wily Kit/Kat on Thundercats, not 7ZARK7 on Battle of the Planets. We *all* hated them. HATED. HATED. HATED. We wanted the good stuff & you diluted it every time.
Pah - Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan was never lost for words.
Although he did lose the news.
The wind is in the east!
John Alvin was a huge talent and many of us probably grew up not knowing who this man was and what his work would mean to us later in life. John created some of the most recognisable movie posters from our childhoods and we remember him today on the anniversary of his passing, 18 years ago today.
Star Fleet: X-Bomber launches a rescue mission from Pluto Alpha Base..
Star Fleet: X-Bomber off to bust some more Imperial Alliance heads.
Desk assembly TV: Star Fleet. 42 years old and it still rocks.
“He’s a cop killer.”
The Richard Amsel classic poster for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Indy with his bullwhip front and centre. A classic.
The Precioussss…
Coming all the way from the long-since torn down Twin City Theatre in North Palm Beach to Central London, I have finally got my hands on the Richard Amsel classic one sheet. Restoration & linen-backing is now underway.
Indiana Jones will return in..a frame.

Bonus points for making insurance interesting. Edward G Robinson steals every scene he’s in, although I’m not sure why the company was writing policies offering 200% payouts in certain circs if it didn’t want to honour them, but I don’t think I’m supposed to concern myself with that.
The classic title card for Space 1999 in slant-o-vision from the new 4k transfer of ‘Breakaway’
Not a poster, but an iconic image all the same and in LG big-o-vision it’s as good as a poster 😁. Excellent 4k transfer too.

Say it isn’t so..☹️
Agreed! Am about halfway in but little things like DSV2 powering up in ‘Redemption’ really make it the business. Somehow the wafer thin differences between Blake & Travis (who seems less geezer in HD) are more noticeable with Avon and Servalan despairing of both. #avonsgadgetworks
After…!

Before…
By a sad coincidence I am on my way home with a newly-delivered Drew Struzan classic one sheet which is going up on permanent display at home. It’s arrived weeks later than expected but now will be a bit of a memorial that is tied to his passing. RIP.

I’d just read that one and move on, but each to their own!
The poster for the 4k remaster of Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Half blue, half pink.
The Mk II uncrumpled version, now in a lightbox and looking the business. You can never have too much pink in a poster I say.
Wish more posters got put out for 4k remasters, but I’ll take what I can get.

General Zod lands in the middle of a lake, unaware that he is on planet Earth, not planet Houston..
Er, didn’t the last Artemis mission to the moon have a few issues?

The teaser poster for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Backlit and used as a nightlight, reading BEWARE in red scrawled letters…
One poster on the turn of the stairs always serves as a nightlight 🩸🩸🩸

Poster swap time again. First up, the guilty pleasure and amazon Prime staple that is Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man (2000). Wait, this is 25 years old? Anyway, I like my Bacon with lots of ham. YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE 😁?! LEVELS!

Mr Tully?
The classic one sheet for 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit, depicting the outline of Roger through the medium of celluloid.
We just framed Roger Rabbit.
