R.I.P. Sal Buscema, one of the core early Marvel artists who drew just about everyone. Dynamic, fluid and dependable, a giant in the field. This Defenders issue he drew was one of the first US comics I owned. I cherished and traced it till I wore the pages through.

Thanks to everyone who borrowed my books from libraries last year (dinosaurs and brainy cats most popular). I don't get royalties from most of my books so the extra pennies from PLR are a nice bonus. Use your local library!

Yorkshire folk! The daughter of a friend's friend is making a film about the bands that played at Minsthorpe High School in the late 80s/early 90s – the likes of the Weddoes, Cud, House of Love etc. They're trying to track down the teachers who put the bands on – Mel and Trev. Anyone know them?
