Comics - Crikey! The Great British Comics Magazine

Now on its third issue and going bi-monthly from March (that's now folks), Crikey! is a magazine devoted to the British comics industry, the comics they produced, the people who worked in it and the readers themselves.

The latest issue chats with Dez Skinn about House of Horror, takes a look at Fireball XL5, Smashing Times, space comics and Adam Eterno. The magazine is very nicely put together and plastered with pages and panels from seemingly endless comics. It crosses all genres of comic, whether boys, girls, humour or adventure. For some it may stray too far into nostalgia and reminiscence over hard fact, trivia and info, but it remains an entertaining read nonetheless.

The price is £3.99 per issue, and you can subscribe for a cheaper price per issue. It's Diamond distributed, so your local comic shop should be able to get it for you.

I now feel that fans of old comics are being catered for, it's fantastic that so many people really appreciate their comic heritage, all we need now are new comics for new readers. Otherwise the future of nostalgia itself may be in doubt...
