Conrad @cradicus.bsky.social Leiden’s grail pages from the @bilquis.bsky.social and @tomking.bsky.social graphic novel Supergirl:Woman of Tomorrow. Listen to us discuss this beautiful comic, and the movie it inspired in episode 337 of the book club.

The opening page of Summer Magic by John Ridgway and Alan McKenzie is my grail page from the complete Journal of Luke Kirby. Listen to my discussion with Brian Walsh in episode335 of the book club.

I have so so many opinions on this movie 😆🤣 … you’ll find most of them over on my substack, and they’re largely in defence of a perfectly adequate movie that got highjacked by the social media knuckle-draggers on Twitter.

Supergirl! Krypto! Lobo! And they’re in space! Conrad and I discuss the comic and then the film it inspired. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

A Steve Parkhouse DPS from the Old Straight Path by Parkhouse and Alan McKenzie in the complete Journal of Luke Kirby. The first grail page for Brian Walsh from episode 335 of the book club.

Very fond memories of this atypical 2000AD story, evocative artwork from John Ridgway. Agree its a shame we never got to see Luke grow up. I wonder if the trope of British children going by train to stay in a bucolic world is a reference to the experience of young evacuees during WW2.

In the last of this year’s Lawless recording I met up with Brian Walsh to discuss the complete Journal of Luke Kirby. A boy wizard, horror archetypes, and the long straight road to a dark future? Listen at podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/m...

it's crazy that over the 49 year history of judge dredd, writers and artists have taken the premise "violent cop in fascist dystopia", and used it to tell almost every genre of story

Robots, a relaxing hero, a sexy space princess, and a sci-fi health spa. Another great page from the Fantastic Art of Ron Turner as discussed with @richardandsheaf.bsky.social in book club episode 333.

A genial dinosaur on this Ron Turner cover re-creation. This was a grail page also-ran for Richard Sheaf @richardandsheaf.bsky.social in episode 333.

A Dan Dare double page spread from the book The Fantastic Art of Ron Turner. Listen to @richardandsheaf.bsky.social discuss this in episode 333 of the mega city book club.

always great to talk comics with @megacitybookclub.bsky.social - check out the episode megacitybookclub.blogspot.com/2026/06/333-... and my blog boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com

From my first series of Spawn: the Dark Ages, 'The Children's Crusade'. :-)

This was the wonderfully detailed forest scene by Liam @liamsharp.bsky.social Sharp that Richard @richardandsheaf.bsky.social chose as his grail page from the exhibition at this year’s Lawless convention. We discussed this and other great pages in episode 333 of the book club.

what an amazing page this was - tune into episode 333 of Mega City book club to hear me waffle on about Ron Turner megacitybookclub.blogspot.com/2026/06/333-...

Absolutely beautiful. Seeing that reprinted in, IIRC, The Dalek Annual 1978 captured my imagination and the Mechanoids still feel like epic rivals!

Ron Turner’s first page for The Daleks. Richard @richardandsheaf.bsky.social and I actually held this page in our hands, but I fell short of the asking price by a few thousand pounds. Still a grail though! Listen into episode 333 of mega city book club for more Ron Turner chat.

More techno-utopianism on these science fiction paperback covers by Ron Turner. Chosen by @richardandsheaf.bsky.social as a grail page from John Lawrence’s fantastic book about Turner in episode 333.

Techno-Utopianism or maybe a Dalek dystopia. This Ron Turner wraparound cover was for the collection of the Dalek Chronicles, and it’s a first grail pick by Richard Sheaf @richardandsheaf.bsky.social from episode 333 of the book club.

John Higgins’ portrait of Chief Judge Silver that Giles Wright picked up from John at Lawless. A fabulous piece.

This was Giles’ grail page from the Liam Sharp @liamsharp.bsky.social exhibition at Lawless. Absolutely stunning!

The Frank Miller cover that led Andy Diggle and Jock to create Lenny Zero for the Megazine. I discussed this artwork and the story it inspired with Giles Wright in episode 332:Undercover Brothers.

Dredd dominates my grail page by Jock from episode 332:Undercover Brothers.

The cover to Megazine 4.14 by Jock is a second grail page for Giles Wright from episode 332:Undercover Brothers.

We don’t talk about this comic book movie adaptation enough. Based on the brilliant 1998 comic by Max Collins & Richard Rayner the film was actually a bit of a revelation. Directed by Sam Mendes with an understated performance by Tom Hanks. Beautiful soundtrack too. youtu.be/LFe6arz3NcY?...

I got hold of a copy of W0rldtr33 after the latest @megacitybookclub.bsky.social episode, and it is really rather good. I will admit I’m really not a fan of the artwork, but the story is fun and interesting. Shades of the 2006 novel ‘Cell’ by Stephen King. comicvault.cc/public/comic...

Hello & happy Friday #comicbook and visual story-telling aficionados. After a lot of really challenging but inspiring conversations with some of the best creative talent on this fair planet, my #newbook Drawn to Extinction is here. Independent and objective. Enjoy. www.trainor.fyi/books/drawn/

That’s the VHS style cover art to the best Dredd film never made! @liamsharp.bsky.social rocks!

This was the @robellis.bsky.social choice from the Liam Sharp exhibition at Lawless.

Really enjoyed this one — I’m a big Tynion IV fan, but was not actually aware of this book, so I’ll be getting my mitts on a copy and giving it a whirl.

A woman walks into a police station and then everything glitches. A grail page by @fernandoblanco.bsky.social chosen by @robellis.bsky.social in our discussion of w0rldtr33 by Blanco and @jamesthefourth.bsky.social in episode 331 of the book club.

Great selection for its (mostly) huge enthusiasm and cheating choices too good to leave out! Your joint number one reminds me: Two problems with The Guardian’s “Greatest Novels of All Time” are that it complacently omits the future and they didn’t put that this graphic novel (of the future) on it.
