A Chronicle of Doom....


Long overdue visit to Ice Station Zebra yesterday, as Agent Rob and Agent Smith braved the arctic conditions - thankfully the mornin' frost wiz really only restricted to the Glasgog area - ter visit Agent Johnny in Pester Wails. In fact, a jolly good time wiz had by all; Agent Johnny wiz on top form, seemingly not phazed be bein' interrupted durin' the dramatic (and distinctly painful head-stoved-in) climax to 'Fillum 4's The Black Arrow - perhaps our Agents draggin' and crackin' open the swill helped! The second half of The Avengers 'Thingumajig' episode followed before, at Agent Smith's request, the dial was turned to 'The Horror Channel' fer that day's Doctor Who omnibus, 'Frontios' (a sight unseen prior by Smith). Exswillsior!


Amidst all this worshippin' of 'The One-Eyed God' - eventually common sense prevailed and Wonder Woman wiz switched off after the openin' titles - ye'd think there'd be no time fer Evil Wee Comics and Braw Books business, but.... For all the contented chuntering - Agent Johnny's startlin' recollections of Out of the Unknown bein' a particular highlight - there wiz still plenty opportunity ter discuss Tales of Unearthly Science Fiction - the cover, promising appearances by Steve Mason & Olgur Zen, Sheriff Jed Hale and Una Kennedy continues apace - and one actual written story, Rebirth Anew, wiz handed over fer 'editorial scrutiny'....


Soon enough it wiz time ter hit the road, Agent Smith taking the train back to Glasgog while Agent Rob took the bus beyond to visit Agent Austin and Irish Rob at Deadhead Comics, newly relocated across Nicolson Street into number 47, occupying the cosy former home of Tribe Tattoo and Piercing....
