Tuesday Runaround – The Dandy And The Bat
DandyWatch: I've just been on BBC Radio West Midlands to talk about the rumoured demise of The Dandy, one of the longest running comics in the world. It feels a little like a bit of PR to me, to bring attention to a childhood favourite. I buy The Dandy for my kids, I do hope it survives, and maybe the press blitz may lift those 8,000 sales and avoid it having to turn into a DandyMAX…
BatWatch: Holy Horshoe Batman by Cry-Ky.
DreddWatch: Cam Kennedy shares his Batman stories with the BBC, while talking Dredd with Alan Grant.
"Eventually it was decided one of us should go to New York and confront Denny O'Neil, a writer and editor mainly of Batman stories, about our pitch.
"It was me – the one furthest from the main airports and who had to take a ferry and then drive to Glasgow – who was picked to go.
"When I finally got to DC Comics, I was pointed down a corridor to O'Neil's office. This guy with braces holding up his troosers came out of the office just before I reached it.
"I asked him if he was Denny O'Neil and then told him I was Cam Kennedy from Scotland. He just looked at me and said "Kenny Who?"
Greatly amused, Wagner and Grant went on to write Kenny Who? as a character. In one strip, he travels to Mega-City One from the Caledonian Hab Zone (Calhab) in Scotland.
Kennedy said: "Kenny Who? ends up in jail and his wife and two kids then come over and confront Dredd. One of Kenny's kids pees on Dredd."

This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.
They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
Everyone's Wrong and I'm Right: Joe Kubert 1926-2012 RIP old friend
It's believed that the procession of cars will pass by the Kubert School and then Joe's home before going to the cemetery. Donations can be made to the Multiple Myeloma Foundation in Joe's name. Sympathy cards can be sent to the Kubert family c/o the Kubert School, 37 Myrtle Avenue, Dover, NJ 07801.
Jillian is connecting with that family magic more than ever thanks to her admirable summer project, which she calls Kirby4Heroes. It ties together Jack's birthday (he would have been 95 on Aug. 28) and the good works of Hero Initiative (which helps comic book creators in times of financial or medical distress).
