"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.

Swords, Sorcery and Skin

The Raven series was written by Richard Kirk - in reality authors Robert Holdstock and Angus Wells, who co-authored the first volume and then took it in turns to write the next four.


Chris Achilleos' sexy cover art for Swordsmistress of Chaos caught the eye of Kate Bush, who modified the costume (ie covered BOTH boobs) for her Babooshka video.
