This blog was conceived after the Scottish Cup Final of 2004 when Celtic played Dunfermline. The idea was discussed in The Last Post pub in Paisley late at night as a means of allowing us to share news, opinions and post links of mutual interest. The date of the Final was 22 May.
There was something great about comics. I'm not sure what it was, I can't really define it but I'm sure I learned a lot from them. I never read many books when I was in primary school but I read comics. Also I think the illustrations are great. I remember copying the drawings. In this communism one the very first cover shows how good the illustrators were. If you look at Lenin he's flinching away from the fighting - pinko commie coward!
It's a really good website. I was listening to the Malcolm X speech and I will probably listen to some others
I was a big comic reader too. Batman, Superman and Fantastic Four fan. There was definitely something special about them - or maybe we were just "media poor" compared to today's kids?
It must be in the genes since Maria loves comics too. She has a fantastic collection of Batman and specialist comics.
