I wouldn't normally plug this magazine now as I don't get paid for the stories of mine it reprints BUT the latest issue (No.408) reprints one of my favourite episodes of Team Toxic from ten years ago. Like most creatives I'm always critical of my own work but I was pleased with my drawings in this one.
I'm an idiot for paying £6.99 to buy a reprint of my own work but there you go. On a positive note it means that a new generation get to see my stories, which pleases me.
The rest of the mag is full of lightweight features on Fortnite etc (which I haven't a clue about) and puzzles. Anyway, if you want a copy it's in newsagents now, with a huge plastic "archery set" taped to the cover, partially obscuring the logo. A sad indication that these mags perhaps sell based on whatever cheap toys they carry, rather than on brand loyalty.

I recently got a few complete 1970s runs of Dandys bound. A brilliant decade for comics. Nothing comes close these days. But your words about a new generations looking at your work ring true.
Styles change. The kids reading comics today will be saying exactly the same thing in 50 years about modern comics. It's always been the case. In the 1970s/80s, Denis Gifford and his colleagues thought comics of the 1930s were superior to '70s stuff.
Nothing comes close to 1970s comics, not yours not anybody's.
OK Anon, you're entitled to that opinion but I do wonder why you're visiting my blog if you don't like my work. Seems a bit strange.
