It's the Never Seen/Pop Culture Parlour Crossover event literally *everyone* has been clamouring for! We cover A LOT in this episode...

I know this is an Old Man thing to say but I don't like BBC Sounds recent makeover. That squashed-down Spotify-style play bar. Bleh.

Just read this - really good! - creepy stories and great art throughout. I've no idea what the status is of The Dark Judges in Dredd continuity these days, but it didn't seem to matter to read this.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?

Sad to hear Ron Tiner has passed away. I first saw his art on a Major Eazy strip in a BATTLE annual, then wrapping up the original run on Clash Of The Guards. I dont have a lot of his work - a brief run of HELLBLAZER most notably. But I always enjoyed it. I bought a couple of his art books too

I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today. lewstringercomics.blogspot.com/2025/10/ron-...

ATTENTION! Chris here: Down to the wire. About to lose our storage and home. If we can last a couple more months here I can move us to an apt that is far more affordable/avoid sleeping in the car. Im going to open a new digital bundle tier for $105 which gets you everything in the shop plus bonuses.

Back in 2016, Hellblazer and Battle comic artist, illustrator and educator Ron Tiner kindly penned a three-part feature on Alberto Breccia. In honour of Ron, his death this week just announced, read it here: downthetubes.net/comic-creato...

DEVOUR ME My monsterlovin art zine is now available for pre-order on my own lil DIY CatStarter! www.jenniegyllblad.co.uk/wp/devour-me... I'm working to have the zine done and sent off to print in around 5 days time! The more support it gets, the bigger the print-run can be!

Just bought this - filthy but gorgeous! 👍

I've just pre-ordered DEVOUR ME a monsterfucking zine by @jenniegyllblad.bsky.social she's fundraising herself due to Stripe's interfering with Kickstarter Lookit here: www.jenniegyllblad.co.uk/wp/devour-me...

Released my first comic, which is 50% for the rest of the weekend! shidokidoki.rocks/product/the-...

Today is the 100th birthday of writer, artist, and editor Al Feldstein (Oct. 24, 1925-April 29, 2014), who is most remembered for his work at EC Comics and for the several decades he served as editor of Mad magazine.

Today's post - i am, as I've said before, quite the sucker for these facsimile editions. Nice to fill in those gaps in classic runs

I hear about small boats every day. Every day, I hear about it. I hear the numbers are up. I never hear why? I never hear where they are coming from? I never see those places. Would I do the same if I live where they lived? I'm never shown those places.

For those of you who didn't / couldn't back the Zetari book on Kickstarter, if you still want a copy of the main book and / or the black and white bookazine, here's your chance. The remaining copies are now for sale on the AUK website. auk.direct?s=zetari&id=...

Bit late in the day, but if you want to hear me chat with guests about scary movies, I have a handy list of all the spooky season episodes of The Parlour!: www.podchaser.com/lists/spooky... #NationalHorrorMovieDay

My first art zine celebrating monsters will launch TOMORROW at 11am UK time, live on twitch! We are ONLY launching this one on my website! I've already had enough pre-orders from my members to afford a small print run, so it will definitely happen! THANK YOU

This might be an animated gif. If not it still looks cool, no? come read my comic! Www.pauljholden.com/patreon.php

Drop an old person you're gonna turn into in the future...

Further to my post earlier about Stripe being shit....

If I ever have a serious falling out with my friends it'll be with the ones who "...love Autumn! Its my favourite time of year!" Never are we further apart.... fucking weirdos, the lot of 'em.

Popped in TGJones for The Beano for my niece, and nabbed the Judge Death Mega Special for myself

I see Stripe is trying to fuck up Kickstarter now too. Fucking prudish puritanical American payment platforms. It's not your fucking business and it's not your fucking money, just process the fucking payments and shut the fuck up.

Today's post - FEAR magazine #1 - a really terrific magazine this, and really hit when I was at my peak horror interest, so I was discovering all sorts of good stuff thanks to FEAR. Missed the first issue though, so glad to nab it finally after all these years. God bless eBay ☠️

The only two Charlton Comics I saw in a local newsagent when I was a kid - these circa Sept 1982 - I snapped them up. Anything new of different was essential.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

This piece I did of Karloff's monster is up for auction, all proceeds going to the EdAsner Family Center. Currently at a paltry $9-. Here's you chance to get a piece of my art for a low price & help a good cause. comics.ha.com/itm/original...

Tonight's movie - WATCHERS (1988)

I will often shout out great movie posters - this is not one of those times (unless this movie is a musical... Is it a musical? It looks like a musical)

So many great series of the 80s/early 90s have slipped out of the general consciousness and this is one of the most unjustly sidelined. It really should be lauded more often and featuring on Best Ever lists. Even within the post-apocalyptic subgenre its bold and unique and against-type.

This is the point where these started popping up in my local newsagents. Whether Eagle Comics had a UK distribution deal of their own or if they just got bundled in with US Marvel & DCs I don't know, but it was thrilling to see, while it lasted (they disappeared again, for me, after eight issues)

Forgotten Filmcast Episode 276: House of the Damned with forgottenfilmcast.wordpress.com/2025/10/19/f...

Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, by Robin Jacques, for February 22nd 1952’s Radio Times. For decade after decade, the Radio Times published absolutely fabulous illustrations. It’s a shame that the times have changed & that’s no longer an option.

Well that's one ticked off the bucket list - saw PSYCHO in the cinema tonight ✅
