MEG 219
« on: 03 May, 2004, 11:59:20 PM »
Gary Leach cover.......very nice, oh and a free poster prog

Dredd - pretty standard story line but moving along nicely

Middenface - readable - can't say I'm too impressed

Mean Machine - great - ya gotta love Mini Mean

Whatever Happened to The Gribligs - no comment

Black Siddha - love Simon's artwork - hate the story

Charley's War - quality  - classic stuff

Hell Trekkers - enjoyable filler

Metro Dredd - nice to get a chance to read the strip - no Metro this side of the water....

Cheers

Hi TPS,

That was actually my first every review, so I thought I'd keep it short. Re-reading my review it does come across pretty negative, not really my intention.

I live in The Netherlands. It's just a normal working day today, hence the post. No weekly prog yet, though.....

Cheers

Whatever Happened to The Gribligs...

That *is* a good question!  I remember wondering for ages why artists weren't drawing them in the backgrounds more often.  "The gribligs are here to stay!"  Yeah, for a week...

I think the gribligs owed more, as parodies go, to the film "Gremlins," which was in theatres around that time (c. 1984-85).

So, were the Griblings rounded up and destroyed due to copyright violation?
