Another Dark Horse announcement - from next year they will be creating archive versions of the classic Creepy and Eerie comics (classic sf and horror funny books which flourished from the 1960s to the 1980s) and new issues. It lookslike Bernie Wrightson and Steve Niles will be joining the writing party so this looks like [...]
Dark Horse have just announced that they are running an Indiana Jones comic next year. The film is currently due for May 2008 and a new comic series will run after this but in February they will be bringing out two omnibuses (should that be omnibi?) of the previous collections. They will also ring out [...]

Just got wind of Bruce Sterling’s blog from the future. He’s writing on Wired as Harvey Feldspar from 2017. As you’d expect from Sterling, the observation is spot on.
