I never left, I just got a job that took up waaay too much of my free time. Still scanning things though, I've got a few things I need to do, maybe some British newspaper/satirical cartoons.
I will say, it's probably just the fact that you've got a guy in a helicopter with a sniper rifle, but this part of the story always gives me Rambo First Blood vibes.
I think what I like about this story/series is just how savage it is; Paco isn't treated like he's a loveable pooch but as a real animal. Sure he does bond with Steve, but he's still a vicious beast.
Yes, I've got a book of Maclachlan cartoons that I've wanted to share for a while. I also have the old Victor annuals I have that I need to scan and storytime here.
This sort of thing was quite common in comics at the time. I also have an anthology of young boy stories from much earlier, circa 1900s full of murder, intrigue and violence.
And that's all she wrote, hope you enjoyed this. I do hope that whoever owns the rights to these stories will do a tradeback because more people need to be able to read stories like this.
As for next time, I have a couple of cartoon books I wanted to scan and post on here, but that's all dependent on how much time I have. In any case, I hope you enjoyed this!
Indeed he does. An extra F for the rest of his family. They didn't deserve this

I'm pretty sure 2000AD and Rebellion own the rights to any IPC/Fleetway series published after 1970 like One-Eyed Jack, Major Eazy or The 13th Floor.

I also need to investigate getting some digital copies of Battle Picture Weekly and see if this was continued in it. However if this is the ending then it's a fair conclusion.
I remember seeing it in my Forbidden Planet many moons ago, but I didn't pick it up because I'm a massive dummy. I still keep an eye out for that out-of-print Cursitor Doom trade that popped up ten years ago.

I know it's on Amazon, I might have to phone my LCS and ask them to pick it up for me (support the local and all that)
Niiiiice... the closest I bought recently were DVDs with scans of The New Eagle on them, and that was just for my storytimes
Elijah Ortiz
I have some CDs floating around somewhere for Battle Picture Weekly, I think, need to get on that boat soon.
Unfortunately, my newfound interest in cigarette cards has taken hold of me.

What bread is that other dog? Great Dane?
Cameron Lee
So, Call of the Wild meets Rex the wonder dog?
Landon Hall
Looks like it, guess Marmaduke went too far.
Having not read either I can't comment.

I don't think any living thing is as resilient as this dog. He's been shot, stabbed, clawed by a bear, bitten by all manner of canines and now massive blunt force trauma from getting hit by a tree. This doggo's life is a chumbawumba chorus.
It's still not as bad as Valiant's other series, the soap-like 'Potters of Poole Street', where literally everything goes wrong for this benighted kid.
I rescind my earlier comments about no living thing being as resilient as Paco. When you go through a windshield, presumably into brick wall at a few dozen miles an hour, survival is nothing if not a matter of divine or diabolical providence.
Juan Butler
He's driven by pure rage and Tim Hortons.
Jace Butler
Paco looks like a Chinese lion in this cover
Kayden Anderson
Not really; children can enjoy both. Action and violence alongside hijinks. People were reading battle picture weekly and stuff like Panzer G Man alongside the Beano, you know? It's natural that a comic tries to fit both style of strips inside.
Andrew Sullivan
Oh yeah, I was the same growing up myself, but it's just how graphic it is. People and animals are getting properly brained in this book, it certainly wouldn't fly today.
