"Great News Chums!" was the dreaded phrase that met British comic fans in the 1970's when they opened up their favourite weekly only to find that from next week, it would be merging with a crap publication you never bought. I can't guarantee that we won't merge this blog with one on, say, Taiwanese politics. But for now, enjoy a trip into pre-1985 graphic goodness.

David Carradine RIP


Cult movie star David Carradine died today, aged 72. The star of TV series Kung Fu, Death Race 2000, The Silent Flute (aka Circle of Iron), Kill Bill and dozens of B-movies was found hanging in his hotel room closet in Thailand. Thai police suspect suicide, though certain ambiguities - the BBC report he was found "with a cord around his neck and other parts of his body" (my emphasis) - may lead to other conclusions.
Whatever the truth, we'll miss him.
