Crikey! to Continue

(via Forbidden Planet International): Crikey!, the comics magazine devoted to British comics of yesteryear and today, is set to continue, despite rumours to the contarary.

In a posting on the Forbidden Planet International blog, editor Glenn B Fleming has announced that some of the original staff of the title, now on its eighth issue, have left for other pursuits, leaving him to take the magazine forward.

"This is a new area of publishing for me and I am looking forward to the challenge," he says.

"Crikey #8 is in full colour and for that to continue we will need the sales. That’s over to you! As a teaser, Issue 9 brings an exclusive chat with Modesty Blaise artist Badia Romero - watch out for that one!

"I believe the next issue will be the best Crikey! yet," says Fleming. "We can finally see our great artwork the way it was meant to be - in full, glorious colour."

Fleming says that other plans for Crikey! are in the pipeline and hopes readers will continue to give the title their support!
