I usually hate comic mergers, but I reckon that this one was the turning point in Twoothy's history. Dredd had already started to improve, so all that was needed now were some more good sci-fi strips and it got them here! <br />(BUT, I STILL wasn't buying it yet! I missed a whole heap of good stuff, but caught it all in the reprints ).John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-10187623070822623712016-11-21T23:25:10.338+00:002016-11-21T23:25:10.338+00:00I was certainly happier to see it than the Mighty ...I was certainly happier to see it than the <i>Mighty World of Marvel</i> merger with <i>Fury</i>.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-21777836478469834292016-11-21T21:33:05.738+00:002016-11-21T21:33:05.738+00:00Now that was a quality merger.Now that was a quality merger.Crispynevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16162688835912122159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-7849302673154913782016-11-21T20:08:28.755+00:002016-11-21T20:08:28.755+00:00Thanks for the link, Sean.

Pat Mills and John Wagner started to hit their peak, with artists like Brian Bolland, Mike McMahon and Kev O'Neill.<br />Special shout for Massimo Belardinelli on Flesh. His figure drawing was always a bit weak, but those dinosaurs and prehistoric landscapes were great.<br /><br />-seanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-83722195553115438892016-11-21T13:48:22.971+00:002016-11-21T13:48:22.971+00:00If the mini TVs have a socket for an external aeri...If the mini TVs have a socket for an external aerial, they could be connected to a digi-box and might still work.
