I expect so.

Alas, no.

Just four more chances to see Garth Marenghi live and alive for quite some time (I.E. years). Book now or face eternal semi-regret: www.livenation.co.uk/garth-mareng...

Wow, I had no idea they’d put out ‘A Fistful of Dynamite’ as well. I’ll need to hunt that one down for my own collection!

Think the Joe Millard ones are as follows:
For a Few Dollars More (1965)
The Good, the Bad, the Ugly (1967)
A Coffin Full of Dollars (1972)
A Dollar to Die for (1977)
The Devil’s Dollar Sign (1973)
The Million Dollar Bloodhunt (1974)
Blood for a Dirty Dollar (1974)

The Dollar Books part II - Joe Millard Joseph John Millard was born in Canby, Minnesota on January 14, 1908, the fourth child of rancher Frank Earnest Millard and his wife Alice ...

I found this article: westernsallitaliana.blogspot.com/2011/01/doll...

Did you ever have the standalones as well, Mark? ‘Blood for a Dirty Dollar’, ‘Million Dollar Bloodhunt’ etc? They’re definitely worth rounding out the collection with if you can find them.

Ta!

I’ve written a story for this new Comma collection, out today.

MONSTER CAPITAL - OUT NOW! 📚🥳

📕 commapress.co.uk/books/monste...

In the spirit of Mark Fisher, we invited writers to explore capitalism through the lens of the gothic & surreal: TV shows built on misery, lab-grown meat with a mind of its own, housing developments spread like a virus & much more...

I’m guessing she’s meant to be ‘seeing for miles’ but I’m not even sure the designer bot would have made that connection.

People have completely lost it.

The most recent Who release was fekkin abysmal as well.

Wow. Had no idea he’d written that!

@dempster2000.bsky.social now has a website full of her amazing writing. Read all the funny stuff in one place! Peruse her potted history! Hire her brain!

I wrote about terrible new “neo-western” series The Madison

Thanks, thanks and thanks!

Sadly not seen!

Not sure it did, maybe because the Hank Janson books drew heavily on US gangster crime fic and wouldn’t have made much of an impact? Could be wrong, but my impression was it was mainly a postwar UK thing. Dennis Potter was a Hank Janson devotee and the books informed ‘The Singing Detective’ as well.

Absolutely. I once tried to pitch a tv drama about the rise and fall of Stephen Frances and Hank Janson. Sadly no takers, which stunned me as the story’s got absolutely everything in it you could want.

Steve Holland wrote this great biography of Frances. Well worth seeking out.

He also wrote this superb early ‘True Crime’ gangster biog. I suspect he was also significant inspiration for the Michael Caine character in Mike Hodges’ film ‘Pulp’.

Many thanks, Nick!

Hmm, looks like they’re all down… it’s on YouTube, though.

You’ll get yours in a minute…

The weightless CGI animals are a good start…

Feels like ‘The Happening’…

That’s it exactly. Proper paperbacks!

Mass market aren’t generally stocked anymore, certainly not in the UK as far as I know. They’re smaller-sized and more compact than the standard trade paperback.
