Missing a week of relevance, but considering his passing, here's a page from the Rocky Horror comic. RIP Tim Curry, you'd have been an amazing Joker if Mark Hamill didn't get the job instead.
Anyway, this weekend we have all our back issues stock half price (in store only).

Bank holiday and delays caused a whammy with the delivery, but goodies are now available.

Hey folks, delivery should have been today but looks like there's a problem with our distribution and about half of the UK comic shops aren't getting goodies today, should be coming in tomorrow.
