Bill Savage appeared in the first issue of 2000AD and the Invasion story is reprinted in volume 62 of the 2000AD Ultimate Collection (which is issue 60 in delivery terms!).. But who better to draw our plucky resistance fighter than series artist Mike Dorey.

With the next Lawless approaching the pressure was on to get the BP visual record of the 2022 event uploaded. So Neil and his intrepid team of one (Neil) has put the hours in and here is the result. But not resting on his laurels Neil has assembled a total of 5 videos. This video covers the event in a "Cinéma vérité" style.
Neil takes us on a journey through his comic collection with a timely look at The Thirteenth Floor.
This story originated in the short lived SCREAM! comic before continuing in the pages the EAGLE. Rebellion have subsequently issued the story as three hardback books and produced a continuation of the story over a number of specials.

Comics Salopia 2021 took place earlier in the year but fear not as Blastprocess was there.
In this belated coverage introduced by Festival Director Shane Chebsey you see the comics guests in attendance and take a tour of the Comics Trail.
Apart from meeting the artists there were comics masterclasses for children and a comics trail featuring the local area (Shrewsbury). Composed of 9 pieces of art at selected locations each piece had been created by a noted comics artist and the accompanying text was written by British Comics Legend John Wagner.

Shane Chebsey recently launched his latest Kickstarter project and there is still time to join in;

Back in the day comics would print a coupon which you could cut-out and present to your local newsagent to reserve the next issue (and the issues following on from that). Now fast forward to the present day and thanks to social media we were all prepared and notified to the renaming and recalibrated Lawgiver (the Judge Dredd convention) into Lawless (the convention of British comics). So, on the 18th of May Neil found himself in Bristol once again with Tom’s camera and this is the result!
