What I was reading in… September 2026

Next month sees the end of the run of Fantastic & Terrific but the beginning of The Mighty World Of Marvel so I'll be rereading those each week. I don't have a complete set but it'll be nice to revisit what's available.

The Peanuts book was very enjoyable, and for only £2!

What I was reading in… August 2026

The Brian Bolland book was a Kickstarter I backed in, I think, October last year! It was originally supposed to be delivered by the end of January 2026. I thought it was never going to turn up but it arrived this month! (it's very good though).

I do enjoy the Gerry Anderson Comic Anthologies. I hope there's a Captain Scarlet one coming. Mike Noble's art on those is magnificent.

What I was reading in… June 2026

We were given National Trust membership's as a Christmas present so each place we visit we try to ensure it's got a second hand bookshop. That's where some of this selection have come from.

The Clarkson books are great. Entertaining and informative.

I'd not read any Shaun Hutson since "Slugs" in the eighties. "Renegades" is violent and gory and well worth the couple of quid I paid for it!
Guy M Etchells just happens to work at the gym that my Anthony goes to. Ant bumped into him at a comic con so bought his two books.

Jamie Smart's Desperate Dan comics are good. It's not the Dan I grew up, and am familiar, with but once you get used to the style they're very funny.
 

What I was reading in… February 2026

Continuing the Time Bubble series. There are fifteen in all and they are so good. Jason's written many more books so I'll be exploring them later this year.

Fantastic and Terrific are my comics from the sixties that I've been reading on their cover publication date each week. That should finish in October.

Past Perfect is a fanzine created by Paul Ware and has been running for many, many years. A good read.

What I was reading in… January 2026

 As well as listening to music I also like to read a lot. This includes fiction, non-fiction, comics, graphic novels, just anything that takes my fancy really!

I have magazine and comic subscriptions, so they crop up every month, and boxes of comics from the sixties and seventies that I've started revisiting now that I've got the time to do so! (isn't retirement fab).

This is the Christmas haul of books and annuals! 

After I'd read the latest Adrian Cousins book I was in the mood for more time travel stories so I took a chance with the Time Bubble series. Jason Ayres is a new author to me and his books are excellent. I've been getting through each one in a couple of days and can't wait for the next!
