Just read the download, still cannot really look at my Jikan contribution without cringing though there are still the couple of panels I really rather like.

The real pull for me is the debut of Spencer Nero, a really fun strip in the pulp tradition lots if scope for more adventures the additional one pager was a nice surprise too.

Cannot say the one off strip did much for me but it's nice to see the idea of done in one stories in paragon.

Stand out for me is Icarus dangerous a suitably weird sci fi twist on the original myth romping along at a fair old pace.

Loads of fun and all for ninety nine pee.

Flicking thru, Spencer Nero looks like fun & the rest all look quality, as usual

James , your Jikan rocks!

This kicked a LOT of arse Corcoran and Prestwood - I NEED YOU IN DR WTF. Cthulouis' strip was gorgeous as well - AND WHO WAS THE LETTERER OF THAT ONE-PAGE SPENCER NERO STRIP?!?! SHOCKINGLY BAD ;)

An artist is probably never happy with his work, James, ha ha.

Weird to see Jikan: Cave of Death in the mag, as it's been ages since I wrote it...Cthulouis' work on Mekkos is very nice - different than James', but packed with great action panels.

Icarus is very cool. Love the work by Prestwood bringing Van Dom's work to life. Overall a fun, adventurous mag...

Well done all involved!

Thanks to the folks earlier in the thread who singled out Spencer Nero for kind words - much appreciated, lads. Though I've got my digital copy, like Cthulouis I'm not going to give this issue a really in-depth read till I have the hard copy - I am old-school. That said, even a quick scan through shows what a remarkably and consistently high standard the art in this issue is at. James's work is deeply evocative and atmospheric, Louis's is mind-bendingly exciting and Stephen's is really muscular and dynamic, whilst Davey turns in some cracking action poses and dramatic storytelling (and David Broughton's one-pager balances action and whimsy well.) Just lovely to look at.

And here are some frames from our cover star's story



the ranting Nazi, Von Nero, in full flow!



Spencer Nero punches a lion!



it all gets a bit squishy when Janus shows his face!

A fantastic script by Greg Meldrum, with art by Davey Candlish and lettered by HdE - it's quite a debut for the 1930s British agent!
