This page contains the oldest stuff on the site: I actually started this
page in 1996, but I did not see the idea of whats new pages until 1997

on the Net. Check out the other whats new pages: numbers one,

Well, I have finally realised a long-time ambition and placed a
new thumbnail gallery on the site which contains the first ever
appearance of Luther in print: it is a complete strip called the Papist
Affair, and it's thumbnail gallery is at The
Papist Affair Thumbnail Gallery or you can go straight to each
issue at: Issue One, Two,
Three, Four,
Five, Six
and Seven. Of course this
meant that the new Text Gallery Two
had to be updated too.... |
|
Wednesday October 28th 1998 |
Well it had to happen... the old text only gallery guide, giving
a text based description and link into every image page on the site
has finally got too big and was therefore defeating it's purpose of
quick download and speedy access to each image page... so I have split
it into two, at text gallery one and text
gallery two. Of course this meant that the overall
guide to the galleries had to be updated as well, but who's counting?! |

the search engines where we are, and putting in re-directs at the
old site. |
