Hellblazer a day 230, by Andy Diggle & Leonardo Manco. The Diggle run begins with a bang. Manco has been on the book for quite a while now. He's definitely put his stamp on John Constantine.

Finally, a new finished Doctor Who illustration! (I know, it's been a while.) Yaz and Thirteen visit Marinus, based on a sketchbook drawing I did a couple of years ago.

I'm back on the new episode of Maran Chess Club: Listening to Jacqueline Pearce vowing to marry Davo, watching Rodney Bewes not standing the confusion in his mind after witnessing a Doctor Who clips reel on the Dalek ship, and Rula Lenska & Mark Strickson bringing strong Ginger Representation!

Hellblazer a day 228, by Mina & Manco. England lose, but that's okay, because the Scottish soldiers wanted them to. So the Empathy Engine is destroyed. Mina's last issue made me laugh.

Hamster Book Club ‘Trix’ - original short story
For @dwcoverstory.bsky.social - who has long been frustrated at a lack of backstory and explanation for Patricia ‘Trix’ MacMillan. So I thought I would write my own.
