UPDATED: David Wright books

For anyone (like me) who's struggled to keep up with the recent flourish of Carol Day (newspaper strip) reprint books that have been published over the last few years here's my handy guide to what you've missed so far...

UPDATE (22nd Oct 2026) Judy episodes 120-197 is available to buy here for £35


UPDATE (22/05/26) - 2 more books (albeit not Carol Day books)...
David Wright's Judy - order it via the Book Palace here

David Wight's Jo - reserve it via the Book Palace here


2 hardback books to start with... 

David Wright's Carol Day - Lance Hallam

David Wright's Carol Day - Jack Slingsby


and then there were 3 softcover books...

David Wright's Carol Day - Cousin Hugo

David Wright's Carol Day - Last of the line

David Wright's Carol Day - Riverside racket

These three books were also available in a slipcase edition...

There were also hardcover & softcover editions of this 'taster' volume produced

The best place to get these books seems to be the Book Palace website - search here

IPC news - millennium edition

I've looked before at IPC news (here) but here's another 'issue' that caught my eye recently. Yes, it's the IPC news millennium issue! It looks a bit grander than that issue I looked at previously. The book/magazine about the 200 year history of IPC sounds intriguing!  

IPC magazines - publisher of the century




UPDATED: To help pass the time in the iso-cubes

I've looked at Comics calendars before (see here and here) but didn't realise there had ever been any Judge Dredd calendars before until a conversation about it popped up on the '2000AD & Judge Dredd tat and chat' facebook group.

UPDATE (8th November 2026) - now with the 2027 wall calendar added to this listing...





I started looking for traditional 'wall' calendars for this post but I've decided to expand it to look at all types of calendars. All new material is in red.

So with thanks to Ian Anorak Hollingsworth (and ebay!) here we go...

The 1989 calendar - presumably published by Titan as the images look like the covers from their reprint volumes

UPDATED: Ewoks - Marvel UK

UPDATE: 17th October 2026 - now with covers for issues 6 & 10 added

Michael Carroll's timeline of Marvel UK comics (here) has an array of interestingly short-lived comics on that I thought I should create cover galleries for them. Sometimes this is easier said than done but let's start off with the 10 issue Ewoks comic from 1987-88.

Commando at the National Army Museum (2011) - part 4

Looking through some of photos the other day I came across a bunch from 2011 that had somehow never been recycled onto the blog. To make up for that here's my first batch of images from the 2011/12 Commando themed exhibition that ran at the National Army Museum (in London's Chelsea). My original review for it is here.

Part 1 of my photos were here
Part 2 of my photos were here
Part 3 of my photos were here
