I had a great uncle who was in the RAF in WW2. His name was Ned, though due to his hair changing colour while he was in Africa, he became known as Red. I know little of his story, as the men who came back from that war, never talked about it. Nor did their fathers who fought in WW1 before them.
I often think of the men who laid down their lives for our personal freedoms. I read books. Watch films and documentaries. It gives you terrifying perspective. This is the price they paid for everything that we now enjoy. It gives you pause.

Some sweet #RogueTrooper custom #actionfigures from over on Reddit. Goes well with the news of the movie coming out. #actionfigurephotography #actionfigurecollector #2000ad
The latest #ConsideringComicBooks is now available for download on iTunes and Soundcloud (I'll have the YouTube one up later.) This week I talk with my friend #2000AD Creator and Writer Patrick Mills talks about his extensive career, politics in #comicbooks , creators rights and what drives him as a creator. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/2000ad-creator-and-writer-patrick-mills/id1406980582?i=1000415784763&mt=2 https://soundcloud.com/consideringcomicbooks/2000ad-creator-and-writer-patrick-mills #slaine #nemesisthewarlock #charlieswar #marshalllaw

Life has been stressful lately. Taking a bit of time this afternoon to decompress #reading #bookstagram #bookclub
I'm loving the new Logo my pal Marc designed for the #consideringcomicbooks channel. It's also class to have so many interesting folks lined up to come on as guests. We've been having great craic with this and hope everyone's enjoying it. It's all still in its infancy, but the support so far has been magic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_eLXT0A7ohqiEvE0KOFXFA?view_as=subscriber #comicbooks #youtubechannel
Loving this Mike Del Mundo variant of #Venom issue 2. Donny Cates is writing one of my favourite titles at the moment. Best character work on Eddie & the Symbiote I’ve read. #comicbooks #comicbookart #marvelcomics
Time out to pose #transformers #dinobots on top of my laptop to brighten up Monday. #hasbro #transformerstoys
I watched the #clivebarker film #nightbreed last night, for the first time in years. You forget Barker wrote it based on his novel Cabal & directed the film as well. David Cronenberg as the main villain is fantastic #horrormovies #horror
I meet Glenn Fabry usually about once a fortnight for a cup of coffee. This time we got talking about the #dccomics #vertigo relaunch and subsequent controversy and that led to a chat about his time at the imprint. I decided to do a V-Log on it (link in the description), which is more of an informal chat, really. I thought it would make interesting listening for my Considering Comic Books Channel. I hope you enjoy it, and please excuse my occasional stuttering. I'm working on bringing that under control :O #comicbooks #comicbookcreators #comicbookart #podcast #preacher #glennfabry
I’m seriously behind on my reading, but these books are the ones ticking my boxes from the main 3 big houses at this month. Along with Transformers, Infidel & Gideon Falls (not pictured,) these are my current favourite reads. #comicbooks #comicbookart #theterrifics #doomsdayclock #mistermiracle #peterparkerthespectacularspiderman #thebraveandthebold #themagicorder #movetheneedle
Thought I’d get to eat my post workout meal in peace. But, no #cats #catsofinstagram #catstagram

Had the chance to see my comedy hero Bill Burr for a second time last night in Dublin. Bill refuses to pander to convention in the great tradition of my favourite comics & his routine was sidesplitting. He is a rebel & a firebrand. I haven’t laughed that much since I watched Raw with Eddie Murphy for the first time as a teen. I was in pieces from laughter. Thanks for the laughs, Bill. Come back soon. #comedy #billburr
In France at the moment, & the volume & quality of the #comicbooks #graphicnovel market over here is phenomenal. The attached selection are just a small sampling from the tiny library in Bezier’s where we’re staying.
Had a lovely time at #Lawgiver convention, my first year attending. The guests were tremendous folks, all extremely talented & it was a pleasure to see so much amazing art on display. The cosplay was amazing & the fans who attended really have a love for the prog that is unsurpassed. It’s great to see that sort of passion. I met so many brilliant people. You all know who you are. & a special thanks to Su & Mick for hosting, to Steven for being great company at our table & to my good mate Ryan for being an enduring legend in getting me involved in these things. #2000ad #judgedredd #comiccon
More impressive #cosplay at the #Lawgiver #comicconvention in Bristol. Armitage is a personal fave
The love of characters & #cosplay talent on Display over at #lawgiver in Bristol today is stupendous. Big props to these ace fans #2000ad #judgedredd #strontiumdog #comiccon
