A Chronicle of Doom....


Amazing! It only seems a matter of days since we blogged about the closure of Deadhead Comics and - like a Dark Phoenix saga from the ashes - it has risen again! Agent Rob visited on Monday, dropping off a substantial amount of beautiful Braw stock, some of which is available exclusively to DHC (for now). You can just about make out The John G. Miller Scrapbook dead centre as well as The Collected Rob Miller top left, while a somewhat startled but obviously thrilled Agent Austin proudly shows off copies of The Big Book of Pudsy and the (unstoppable won't stop top-selling) Collected Mad Mentol MacBam Brothers....


As you can see the new shop looks just fantastic, acres of space with a cool, fresh, white finish! What a considerable bounce back to life - I'm sure this Agent wasn't alone in thinking the days of the Deadhead were well and truly over - and a hearty congrats to Agent Austin and all his "Kru" is undeniably due. With more comics arriving every single day - the excellent and sizeable back issue selection is still filtering in longbox by longbox - it definitely looks like the unfinished finished article. Pop up to 30, West Nicolson St. to see what all the fuss is about. See this handy reboot of Graham Manley's groovy shop ad fer details....


However. In spite of being slap bang in the middle of Agent Johnny's patrol zone - Backbeat Records is 2 minutes up the road - there was no sign of Our Man from Pester Wails with the final 3 pages of The Atomic Society #2. As such Agent Rob returned to Glasgore empty handed, pretty much resigned to the fact that it looks like the release of Evil Hollywood will just have to wait until all things Comic Con Crunch are concluded. Phone reports the following morning suggest Agent Johnny has extended his deadline by 2 weeks(!?), almost making that a certainty. Ah well, it's not like I'm a stranger to comics with protracted gestations.... Maybe next year....
