Text of the page (random words):
at the link further below this week s advert isn t for a new comic but rather a series of new books i have a distinct memory of obtaining the money for one of these books but only vague ones about the contents i remember being in a local bar having lunch with family i would ve been around 11 years old and i was given money to play a fruit machine but i had to do so with an adult technically it was gambling so a family member played it with me i won some money argued over having to give half of it to the person that supervised me and then went to a nearby shop and bought the book with the shark on the cover regular blog readers will know i ve always had a soft spot for anything with comical sharks while researching for this post some ghostbusters fan sites have these books listed as collections of strips from the comic i was sure the book was a prose story with rather large writing and big illustrations which took up most of each page and i seem to remember it didn t take me long to read it thankfully i eventually found some ebay listings for the other books in the series and my ageing memory was proven right so you ghostbusters wiki pages need to update yourselves for a moment i thought i d gotten it mixed up with one of my many many other real ghostbusters books i had so many ah the joys of getting old thanks ghostbusters and doctor who i m off to console myself about my advancing years i ll see you all back here in seven days when we ll see if the checklist can make things up to the time lord and the latest contemporary ad is like last week for a comic based on a classic cartoon but this time one i actually liked see you then come and join in the checklists conversation here or on bluesky instagram facebook transformers 221 instagram death s head 8 week 44 week 46 mighty marvel checklist menu anthony williams dave harwood jeff anderson comic promos mighty marvel checklists the mighty marvel checklist week 44 27 may 2026 phil boyce leave a comment saturday 27th may 1989 marvel uk s the real ghostbusters comic appeared to be celebrating a week late on brian williamson s and nick abadzis colourful cover on this day back in 1989 rather simpler in design but probably more eye catching was jeff anderson s rather shocking cover to transformers and action force yup g i joe were back the story that stood out the most to me in the former was culture shock its main set up was ray inventing something instead of egon even though ray had done so before but the strip stood out for a couple of other bizarre reasons the first was the fact the invention was a blatant doctor octopus spider man rip off and ray fights a random terror dog the beasts from the original movie with no explanation as to why one just pops up out of nowhere odd to say the least the uk strip in transformers is again drawn by dan reed and i just love how his art looks in black and white and this was before he knew they wouldn t be coloured when he does the level of detail he produces is second to none the classic cover calendar is for may even though the month was about to end the june one having been printed in error last month never fear lew stringer s combat colin was on the case and you can read it at the link at the bottom of this post on to the checklist details and action force g i joe was back in transformers after we said goodbye to the visionaries for the final time last week the joes would remain with the comic beyond 300 the opening line to the real ghostbusters description will have that song stuck in your head all day but other than that it s an unremarkable checklist the other three comics being repeats of last week s entries it s here that i actually take issue with things has interest in doing the checklist waned was it being phoned in i said last week how i was surprised the special 50th issue of the real ghostbusters wasn t the don t miss title when action force monthly which had been given the top spot would be here for four weeks and could ve been awarded it another time to add insult to injury it s been given the spot again so there was no excuse last time anyway on with the latest contemporary comics ad i never realised there was a marvel uk popeye comic but then again i was never the biggest fan of the cartoons as a kid i felt the humour was outdated so it just didn t appeal to me oink has a lot to answer for this advert isn t exactly the most elaborate they ve produced is it it looks like it s been thrown together in rather a hurry in fact the comic itself wasn t that popular either lasting for only eight issues and one winter special before disappearing next week there s another odd choice made on the checklist as a big event issue of one of their biggest titles doesn t get the attention it deserves and one of marvel uk s top sellers gets the horrible another chance to read treatment there s another ad though and it s one that i may not remember from my comics but it does take me back to my childhood nonetheless see you in seven come and join in the checklists conversation here or on bluesky instagram facebook transformers 220 instagram death s head 7 week 43 week 45 mighty marvel checklist menu brian williamson jeff anderson nick abadzis comic promos mighty marvel checklists the mighty marvel checklist week 42 13 may 2026 phil boyce leave a comment saturday 13th may 1989 lee sullivan s cover for this week s transformers and visionaries combines the issue s two robotic strips in one striking image rather than using a split screen while brian williamson and nick abadzis provide us with my favourite of the four real ghostbusters in a solo role sky lynx was probably my favourite character from the cartoon simply because he loved himself so much yet was so utterly charming and polite as he fawned he doesn t feature in any action this week instead stealthily stalking dreadwind but it still made for an exciting cover even if dogfight was in a different story the female warriors are still portrayed poorly in unnecessarily scant clothing but at least they have a biting sense of humour when confronted by typical male arrogance at the time of writing this blog post one of the real ghostbusters strips feels rather relevant all those fossil fuels we still continue to dig up are full of the haunted spirits of the creatures they come from however in a comic that has already had strong environmental stories the solution is very strange a deal is struck with the oil diggers that they ll not harm the ghosts if the spirits ensure the well never runs dry not exactly sending the right message there something the comic was usually very good at that wonderful starscream tale ends in a surprisingly sad way as the maniacal not quite dead decepticon pleads for release but two nebulans slaughter him regardless death s head 7 continues to entertain with the funniest strip of his run and last week s doctor who magazine remains too i ve been informed it s an ice warriors article not strip so in a comics checklist there s no info on the actual comic story thundercats continues to limp on again playing out like the weekly ghostbusters comic but released only a fraction as often and already containing reprints at least there was a new freebie to start collecting this month as promised i ve finally got a new contemporary comics advert to share with you now as a huge fan of the cartoon and his humour strip in the real ghostbusters you d think i d have been all over a beano esque humour comic with slimer as the star wouldn t you if you re unaware of the comic in question here s a proper introduction to it s wicked after the teaser back in week 34 at the time oink was still fresh in my mind a comic that spoofed what it deemed to be the tired and safe comics of old oink was a breath of fresh air so it s wicked felt like a step backwards to me to this 11 year old it was using a new and exciting character to churn out the same old jokes that had originally put me off humour comics plus there s the very obvious way it s wicked was a marvel uk rip off of beano and the dandy etc have a look at the cover of any issue and it just screams dc thomson could sue us for this from every part of its layout right down to the colours used on the logo we wanted originality and using slimer in this way felt cheap and nothing more than a ploy to sell us something pretty tacky it s wicked would last for only 17 weekly issues and i never picked up a single one and never felt like i was missing out did you try it was it as horrific as i assumed oh dear that was rather downbeat for the oink blog wasn t it well marvel uk s range did have its ups and downs thankfully they weighed heavily towards the former in fact next week my own two comics have a big celebratory issue and the return of a favourite cybertronian of mine see you back here in seven then come and join in the checklists conversation here or on bluesky instagram facebook

41 6 may 2026 phil boyce 2 comments saturday 6th may 1989 a rather simple transformers and visionaries cover by jez hall in comparison to the comic s usual high calibre of front pages belies another excellent issue inside while our characters dialogue on dave elliott s cover for the real ghostbusters doesn t make much sense given the image which has been pointed out to me is a spoof of a fantastic four cover this still doesn t make the speech make sense and who out of this comic s young audience would know an obscure ff cover weird choices abound in the american transformers story the mecannibals may have looked silly when we first met them but by now they were already among the best original creations the comic ever had pure evil with a comedic slant i loved them in the uk story the animated corpse of starscream is the real highlight of the issue not confirming whether he s actually living or dead this had me glued to the story as a kid check out the link below to see andrew wildman s depiction of him including some brilliant in jokes in our other comic main story snack attack had no dialogue whatsoever playing out like a very funny silent comedy a bold move for the strip that took up the most space in the issue spengler s spirit guide tied in with this week s prose story and included a spoof history of horror comics while the dead true series detailed a spooky urban myth tale centering around jealousy another great read all round nice to see visionaries actually getting a mention this week in fact transformers gets a good chunk of the checklist to detail all of its strips beyond just credits for once while the mecannibals were a great addition to the story the all female warriors were sadly depicted as cringingly poorly as you can imagine a bit of a spoiler about the true nature of starscream there too also you ve just got to love some of the strip names the real ghostbusters team came up with action force monthly and death s head are the same issues as last time and if you haven t checked out the latter before then you simply must read the highlights in the review from the comic s real time read through link further below such a funny story full of slapstick the big issue of the week was the latest doctor who magazine although i m not sure if the ice warriors were the stars of the strip or a written article i ve had the pleasure of reading some of the classic issues of the magazine for the blog and their rather unique output while the show was in its wilderness years you can check out the latest of these in the death s head section of the blog an issue he made a tiny cameo in a few years after his comic ended that s us for now next time we ll finally get our next contemporary comics advert it s for a comic that really didn t appeal to young me despite it starring a favourite cartoon and comics character you can see what it was in just seven days come and join in the checklists conversation here or on bluesky instagram facebook
