RECOMMENDED READING: The MAN-THING - The COMPLETE COLLECTION VOLUME ONE...

I was never much into MAN-THING to be honest.  SWAMP THING was the muck-encrusted monster for me, probably 'cos I discovered him first.  At one time, I considered Manny to be a mere imitation of Swampy, but now know that neither one was a copy of the other - apparently, it was just one of those amazing quirks of fate that we call coincidence.

Now, with my acquisition of this great new book, I finally have an opportunity to catch up on Manny's adventures and re-evaluate my opinion of him.  Looking forward to it, 'cos it looks like a belter.  So, MAN-THING - The COMPLETE COLLECTION Volume One is most likely a book that you'd enjoy getting to grips with, too.  Trot along to your local comicbook store today and snap a copy up right away before it sells out.

MICKEY MECHANOID MAKES MERRY...

Copyright BBC TV and the Estate of TERRY NATION

Anyone remember the MECHANOIDS?  Another TERRY NATION creation for the BBC TV DOCTOR WHO show, I doubt that Tel got quite as rich off them as he did the DALEKS, but they must've brought in a bob or two for the writer.  I recall them more now from the TV21 strips than I do the Television series (though I still remember them, dimly, from that), but they've been absent from anywhere for quite some time.

Anyway, one came to live with me today.  He's a bit wary of his many Dalek roommates, but I'm sure they'll soon all be getting on like a house on fire.  Let's just hope it doesn't actually lead to that, eh?  Hotels are expensive at this time of year, and I remember reading about one young couple who couldn't get a room - and her expecting, too.  I call my new guest MICKEY, and he's quiet as a mouse.  (Hey, that was almost a joke.)
