I only read old British schoolgirl gothic , though I think I would have liked the Trigo stuff.<br />(would like to see <i>These are The Damed</i> again someday too)<br /><br />Could see a kind of wes-anderson-esque treatment of that graphic/comic territory too.boyntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14018259111564295592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21792561.post-15796368727377998512006-09-19T23:49:00.000+10:002006-09-19T23:49:00.000+10:00Oh yes, now checking out the Ramage Trigan stuff.
...Oh yes, now checking out the Ramage Trigan stuff.<br /><br />Oh Trigo, the artwork is just as gorgeous as ever. Can't read the bloody words though.<br /><br />I remember this story in particular really getting to me as an excitable pre-pubescent.<br />http://trigan.com/cgi-bin/triga.pl?x=t;y=TE42<br /><br />Third page down on the right was a direct lift from<br />MR James' "Oh Whistle, and I'll Come To You My Lad'" and the rest of the story was strongly imbuded as well by a certain kind of English suburban gothic that also manifested itself in Quatermass and John Wyndham (and "These Are The Damned".)<br /><br />You don't get that kinda shit now in kids shit like Spy Kids.<br /><br />Old Fogey,<br />St Kilda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21792561.post-8731990369959588042006-09-19T20:19:00.000+10:002006-09-19T20:19:00.000+10:00Damn, that site is a real time sink.

When are they gonna put up the pages that serialised "The Wind In The Willows"? The artwork was excellent as I recall.<br /><br />Although I don't recall Playhour being so saucy, what with "The Gay Gordons", "Beaver", "Fliptail" and "The Tit Family". Though good to see the Little Mermaid is still the hot piece of sushi I remembered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21792561.post-69061369305143506112006-09-19T18:34:00.000+10:002006-09-19T18:34:00.000+10:00- or talk like a Parrot day? ;)

But now I <i>actually</i> see what they have. Fabulous, although the copyright warnings about downloading were enough for me to write to them to get permission to jag a bunch for a post. We shall see.<br />Thanks MissyB!peacayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03997731249622552311noreply@blogger.com
