		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;because instead it ought to be called Where&#8217;s my Pheonix!
 
My regular buys, though some have not so regular publication!
The Pheonix is a new, weekly British adventure comic that is distributed (apparently) in (some) shops. It launched on Saturday&#8230; not that you&#8217;d have noticed if you didn&#8217;t read the Times or British Comic websites. As it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1940! Four digits written in fire on the pages of our history, Britain entered that year apprehensive about the &#8220;phoney war&#8221; and left it wondering if she&#8217;d ever see 1942. Large parts of our cities were rubble and the families of many a soldier and airman spent Christmas dinner with an empty place at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Free badge!
This is one of my favourite titles in the small press today. Probably because it&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s closest to &#8216;proper&#8217; British comics, especially the modern-day Dandy! Petunia is the boss of her &#8220;crew&#8221;, the Skate Pirates which also includes Bill Pukes (the dumb one) and Jolly Rodney (the straight man). Other characters include [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For nearly a decade after the end of the First World War it was hardly mentioned in British comics. Any war stories were either set further back in time (for instance the Afghan wars), or else were about fictional conflicts set in the near future. Often against made-up countries presumed to be in some part [...]]]></description>

They are definitely more regular than annually, but they don&#8217;t always put up a sign for it on my route home from work, and Hilgay is rather far to go of a Sunday on the off chance! (Mind you the road up that way is nice. I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve written before about a prevailing attitude in British comics fandom that somehow &#8220;doing manga&#8221; will &#8220;save&#8221; British comics from extinction and/or transformation into dumbed-down toy catalogues. Well the people who weren&#8217;t convinced by that post may be interested to find that actually &#8220;British manga&#8221; has been done, twice, and they&#8217;ve probably never even heard of it!

Again.
There&#8217;s been quite a lot written about the decline in Dandy sales lately, a lot of it in the form of mouth-foaming ravings on blog comments. These basically split into the &#8220;the artwork isn&#8217;t that great&#8221; camp and the &#8220;it&#8217;s just what the modern style is like and besides sales of everything are dropping&#8221; camp.
