Reboot...1983 No.24...

I have been having a rethink, and looking at the size i'm doing at the moment and if I carry on, then I'm going to run out of space on Mediafire a lot quicker.  I have therefore decided to take my sizing down a bit.  Future issues will now be at 1500 pixel width, This doesn't affect the view with CDisplay, the issues still spread the full width of a standard screen and the scans still look pretty good.  Here is No.24, this is mine and complete....

New Danger Mouse and Reboot...1983 No.22...

In case you hadn't heard there is going to be a reboot of 'Danger Mouse', and a picture has been released this week of what the new DM will look like, am I the only one who thinks he looks positively evil?  He will be voiced by Alexander 'Pointless' Armstrong, a good choice I thought.
