I picked up a copy of Gang Land #1 which I've yet to peruse;
and a copy
of _Hard Boiled_ #3 at 10p --- I'm *sure* #1 and #2 are in
the boxes,
I'll just hafta go back and find 'em. Also grabbed a couple
of issues
of _Love and Rockets_ again at ten-pence apiece.
Prize catch though was a graphic novel, _The Bogie Man_
This contains two stories, 'The Bogie Man' and 'The
Bogieman:
Chinatoon'. Essentially, the first story is a transposition
of The
Maltese Falcon to Glasgow, 1990---kind of. It's a very well
done piece
of post-modern pastichery; neat art-work and one or two nice
touches,
like the Fabrini Bros lorry firm.
It is published in Canada even though it is a Scots piece. I
should
warn anyone who sees a copy though, DON'T READ THE BLURB ON
THE BACK!
It's a spoiler for the first thirty pages. A good fun read
however,
especially when there's still a pile of exam papers and
essays to be
marked ;->
