Pre-X-mass visit to Ice Station Zebra on Tuesday to see Agent Johnny, duly holed up against the elements in Pester Whailes. Thankfully it wasn't as 'pingin' cold as last time and our two agents enjoyed a sedate swill in the company of an especially acerbic Bob Dylan. There wasn't a huge amount of chuntering, but topics included the Sanctum Publications reprints of The Avenger as well as Asimov's I, Robot, Agent Rob making it more of a priority to retune 'Our Man in Pester Whailes's 'one-eyed god' to resurrect The Horror Channel fer his festive viewing. There was some evidence of inking on both the Manderston Street Madmen page and Tales of Unearthly Science Fiction cover, presumably undertaken between the lengthy bouts of immobilising 'aches and pains'....

After leaving BASE our intrepid Agent set his sights on The National Library Legal Deposit - at least someone's interested in stocking up on our books - but an almost comical inability to read a hastily sketched map resulted in a lengthy bus detour via,  er, the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. That'll be a New Year delivery then....

Last but never least there was still time to pitch up at Deadhead Comics to see Agent Austin, meaning there was still time fer a farewell to 2015 'view to a swill' at both The Blind Poet and Sandy Bells....

Another pleasant afternoon's swill conducted at Ice Station yesterday, with Agent Johnny on reasonably sparkling form. No sooner had Agent Rob had arrived than the 'one-eyed-god' was tuned to channel 'one five' for The River's Edge (1957) wherein the glamorous Debra Paget cast something of a spell over our slightly stewed heroes. At the fillum's leery conclusion it was time fer some contented chuntering to 'run doon' the clock - our Agent has been enjoyin' recent screenings of The Incredible Hulk in the absence of The Invaders - until Doctor Who: Genesis of the Daleks began another classic run on The Horror Channel. At this point 'Our Man in Pester Whailes' revealed what looks to be the last 3 pages of 'Death March of the Missile Men', though each page was rounded off with a decidedly final looking (and somewhat confusing) 'The End'. Still, together with a very roughed out cover, the end of this epic seems to finally be within sight....
