2020 Begins...

One of the latest items to enter the collection
is this


and despite the fact that it is a beautifully designed and printed, volume, it left me feeling less enthralled than I had hoped.

It was also relatively expensive at $50 Canadian!
Part of the problem, is that I have been following the career, of all of the British comic book guys, ever since I first discovered them, in publications like 2000 A.D. and the old Dez Skinn's House of Hammer.

What that means, is that there is very little, about the life and times of Brian Bolland, that I have not read before and truthfully, the layout of the text information, in this issue, doesn't thrill me.

However, as I said at the first, the printing is a magnificent example of the printer's art and the pictures are glorious!

What I would love to see, is an Illustrator's Special, devoted to the late Brian Lewis but I doubt if that is ever likely to happen.
