    Off to rustle up some dinner, so what music can I randomly rescue from the big box of old CDs to listen to? Why, it’s the splendid I’m Your Fan: The Songs Of Leonard Cohen. The very best of tribute albums? It’s surely in with a dashed good shout.

    But crikey, how vile the colours are for modern-era reprints of the material. They strip all the subtlety and menace out of the work and turn it into a dashed-off felt-pen colouring book.

    Another example of Barry Windsor-Smith's art from DD#52. Too often seen through the lens of Kirby-copying, BWS' early superhero material can be awesome. Long before the page-wide, widescreen-evoking horizontal frame became de rigueur, BWS was a master of its use.

    Daredevil, by Barry Windsor-Smith, Johnny Craig, Roy Thomas, et al, from 1969's Daredevil 52. BWS was still, er, obviously channelling Kirby, & his skills were in some ways rudimentary. But crikey, his work was thrilling & innovative. His late-60s NYC at night is breath-taking.

    The Fourth Doctor & Judge Dredd share a sticky moment as Mega City One is invaded by an army of Dalek, by Cliff Robinson. Such fun. I'd so love to to see this played out in comics. And a TV series. And indeed a mega-budget movie.

    This is so intriguing and involving, from the presence of the clearly young Peter to the 60s/70s New York setting to the brilliant use of perspective. I love how it makes a very familiar character & set-up feel fresh & beguiling.

    From 'Forbidden Journey' in 1958′s Alarming Tales #4, by Jack Kirby. For my money, an almost-perfect comics panel. So much information, all delivered in a shot that's packed with longing & spectacle. Without the narration, which adds very little, it'd be absolutely perfect

    What would you do if you could time travel? Go & see The Beatles play in Hamburg, right? Which is just one of many reasons why I still love DC's sadly short-lived 1998 series Chronos. (from #1 by John Francis Moore, Paul Guinan, Steve Leialoha, Willie Shubert & Mike Danza.)

    Ebey The Hound Supreme, free at last of her feeding tube, is out walking having eaten -you have no idea how unbelievable this seems :)- & kept it down too! Nearly three weeks ago she was pretty much gone. I love these little miracles. In an insane world, they make life worthwhile

    Aw. Very sad. I’ve happy memories of watching tackles thundering in there in the 80s. So many of the grounds I once visited are gone. Wembley, Plough Lane, Upton Park. Others, like Stamford Bridge, are completely different. Ah well, the only constant etc et
