Judge Anderson. The PSi Files. Volumes 3 and 4
Spent a good part - in both the sense of 'a considerable part' and 'a well spent part' - of my weekend reading these two fat books. I was left with a renewed appreciation of what a super writer Alan Grant is. Judge Cassandra Anderson PSI is a great invention. A complex character involved in adventures that allow for her special abilities to bring her into contact with the fantastic and the all too human..

For reasons I can only surmise at least one person to my knowledge is down-loading the 'Sirius' images. A sense of obligation to this person requires I draw attention to a change to one of the pictures.
For reasons of whimsy on my part every seventh page has had a chapter title. There was a failure to do this for the first frame of page 50. This has now been amended.

Exhibits of painting, ceramics, minerals, and textiles. Dealing with lapis lazuli, cobalt, vermilion, cadmium, verdigris, viridian - which sound like characters from a fabulous fantasy. Gold and silver too.

The Whitworth Art Gallery have acquired and are showing parts of The Musgrave Kinley Outsider Art Collection. The term 'Outsider Art' or 'Art Brut' was introduced to me as signifying art works by lunatics and criminals but seems now to include work by any creator outside the art establishment of colleges and galleries.

See what they have done there? Unmasked. Revealed, explained (scripts, sketches and artwork included ) and as an alternative to dual identity superhero comics.
And at the British Library no less. There's respectability.
Featuring the usual intellectually approved but also mainstream and underground stuff too - even includes a selection of sex related comics with Parental guidance warning - the exhibition looks at British comics from 1825 to the present.

Having for some reason taken to heart the imperative to post something about something at weekly intervals I am struggling presently to find time to do that. Also aware that news of comic book world events and excitements have been thin on the ground. Looking at John Freemans website prompted a deep sense of shame.
