What happened to 2009? Gone in the blink of an eye.

This has been another hectic year divided between obligations at work and the new house in France. I have been driving a total round trip of 9 hours EVERY weekend between May and ... well this weekend really, from Luxembourg to France. The really good news is that the library in nearly finished and I will soon be moving the books from the barn to the library in time for Christmas.

Although I have not been keeping this page updated I HAVE been adding to the existing pages and many updates have been done in the course of the year. No promises for the new year - except my best efforts are assured - but this is time consuming work.

On behalf of myself, Romero, Modesty and Willie I wish you and your families a quiet, restful and peaceful Christmas.

A few more pages have now been added to this site. I was contacted by the niece of Fleetway Editor Stan Gooch a while back. Doreen is trying to write the biography of her late uncle and was asking for help. Whilst being only able to offer the barest of facts, between the two of us we have amassed a new page on this site dedicated to Stan. If you recognise anyone from the photographs Doreen (and I) would love to hear from you.

There is also a new page on Castillian artist Jordi Penalva who's work is now keenly sought out, and especially the original pieces that he created for the Fleetway war comics.

The short, happy career of Enric Sio is also the subject of a new page, as is Angelo Todaro who drew for Tiger.

Aside from that, many of the Boardman gallery pages have been updated, as well as the Diego Valor, (and here a big Thank You to Jose Ramon) and the original artwork pages.

ENJOY
