This is the ComicSpace account for Forbidden Planet International, the UK's largest independent comics group. More content will be coming shortly, but in the meantime please visit out main webstore for comics, graphic novels, SF and cult merchandise and the FPI Blog which has comics and SF news, reviews, staff recommendations and author and artist interviews as well as the occasional smarty-pants comments.

Of course we have the big guns of DC and Marvel but we try our best to push some of the damned fine Indy material too, including some European comics work and a growing section of British Small Press comics - check out our latest quarterly print catalogue which has 15 pages of comics from European and British Indy creators - check out our current print catalogue which has 15 pages of comics from British and European Indy creators.

	[ Posted by jimmybott on Dec 21st, 2006 5:40 PM ]... Hey Joe, I just saw the new post over at the FPI store :) Just wanted to say thanks for all the support you have shown 'Half Dead' since we started work on it. It's really appreciated, I hope you'll find it worth reading after the long wait.
	[ Posted by Salgood_Sam on Dec 16th, 2006 5:47 PM ]... Hey, thanks for the add! Pardon this pre - written/fourm Seasons Greetings As always we wish for peace on earth. And in this New Year may you have the wisdom to drink no more than one glass of alcohol for every too of alcohol and not drive… er, no? That’s water, one of alcohol and 2 of water- so as to not get a bad hangover due to over conviviality. And maybe a nice bit of nosh too, a bit of nuts and cheese. And hey, some roasted meat or appropriate vegetarian substitute - but not tofurky, god that stuff is awful - so you don’t puke and look green like the other day at my friends place – the water that is, so you don’t puke - and the nosh so there is something solid to soak it all up with, bread with it all is really the best - her poor roommate I saw there while waiting to go to the bus station. And yah, don’t forget to not spend your buss or taxi money on all that like I did once - stick it in your shoe or something, unless you expect to loos those at some point. What was I saying? Oh yah, so happy New Year!

	[ Posted by jimmybott on Dec 12th, 2006 5:20 AM ]... Hey Joe thanks for the add. To answer your question, I had a great time at Birmingham ICS, though I think people probably got fed up of me dropping "Half Dead" ashcans on their tables in the cafe. Met some great new people and met up with some artists I know online, but have never met in person, Like Andie Tong from Panini/Marvel UK who I've known via email and message boards for around 5 years but never had the chance to meet up and Lorenzo from Studio Blink Twice. All round a pretty awesome weekend. Those Markosia lads seem like a lot of fun :)
	[ Posted by monsterink on Dec 10th, 2006 11:15 PM ]... Thanks 4 being my comicspace pal. The next few weeks should be fun! See ya around, Chops!
