As has become traditional here on the Bryan Talbot fanpage, I have created
a new "what's new" page for the New Year of 2003. All of the
old what's new pages are still online, as I hate to ever delete content,
and I always think they give people a fun non-linear way to browse through
the site.
Of course - this now means that I have been running this site for seven
years! The mind just boggles! I have also found the newsgroup posting
through Google that showed
when I launched the site - in 1996! (by the way - that's an
old address for the site in the posting that no longer works, - neither
does that email address.)
Anyway - it remains an honour and privilege to help spread the word about
Bryan's work, and so, presented below for your browsing pleasure is what's
new on the site: Enjoy!

Wednesday October 8th 2003 |
Added an image of Henry Phage the Teknophage in it's
original black and white
version, the coloured
comic cover version, and then as usual I gave in to temptation
and animated the transition
between the two. (but watch out - at 850k it is a very
large file.) I also obviously updated the image gallery the new pages
live in - gallery 17 - and updated
the text gallery and image
guide page. |

Monday September 15th 2003 |
Updated the news page, added a couple of
new links and added a new interview into
the interview page.
Also added a new item into the Emporium
- the Luther Arkwright
roleplaying game! I also came to the conclusion that
it is just about as cheap to post out the CD-Rom as it is to post
the Arkwright Roleplaying game, and so decided to come up with the
special offer of bundling the CD-Rom and the game together for a price
of £30 and adding in a copy of the fanzine entitled "The
Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1992" - published at the same time
as the Valkyrie Press Arkwright edition: see the RPG
page or the CD-Rom page
in the emporium for more. |

do this site! |

Thursday June 26th 2003 |
Sigh - I always heave a soul deep sigh of resignation when another
thumbnail gallery gets full... I can see the point, don't get me
wrong: I am a passionate - nay, virulent! - believer in quick downloads:
it's just that when I finally do succumb to the awful inevitability
of it all, I just know I will land myself with a shedful of work.
Take today for example: Bryan sends me two new images: a new page
from the once lost Nightjar
Bryan Talbot and Alan Moore collaboration, and the cover to Yuggoth
Cultures, another Bryan and Alan joint effort. So - to fit these
in I have to create a completely new thumbnail gallery - number
seventeen! - and also another new text
gallery. Then I have to update the pre
gallery page, and the image navigator
page. Then I have to add the article Bryan sends me about the
Yuggoth Cultures comic, and
update the articles homepage - and also
update the other Nightjar page
I had on the site in thumbnail gallery
three.
Why do I do it?! - well obviously I am kinda passionate about Bryan
and his work.. and then again my birthday is coming up soon, and
I am hoping Bryan'll read this and give me a good deal on some more
original artwork! |

gallery sixteen is now online, and the two images also: Midnight
Lamp, the frontispiece for Gwyneth Jones' latest novel in the
Bold as Love series, and also a panel
from Fables that Vertigo have unaccountably censored!

as Love and Castles Made of
Sand. |

Batgirl, Green
Arrow and Hawkman. Also therefore
updated the image guide page and
the relevant text gallery. |
