Thank you so much for this video, it's really nice to see someone dive into these stories and convey how they relate to the british politics of the time, rather than just focusing on how cool or baddass the action and "heroes" are.

Thanks to Disney’s updates to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, which is a Legends ride, Cassian Andor technically exists in the original Expanded Universe alongside Kyle Katarn, Rianna Saren, and the Rebel soldiers that fought in the Battle of Toprawa.

Great use of Xcom Apocalypse music for the Dark Judges' segment

Never thought of Dredd as a being a riff on the police per se, as IMO the commentary is much broader. It's more like a warning/parody about the future we're heading towards, where we end up with large numbers of people jammed into mega-city environments, huge tenement-type developments, low employment, high crime, a mish-mash of un-cohesive cultures, destroyed environment, etc. Society has inevitably fallen to a fascist state as it is the only way any semblance of order can be maintained. In such a nightmarish world, Dredd is a hero.

I forgot how much I loved that each 2000 AD was called a PROG

That man is NOT Marshal Parker. I'm friends with the Q and A lead for Shadowrun on SNES, Andrew Scott. He ACTUALLY KNOWS Marshal Parker and has a goddamned picture of him. This is a fraud!

Good thing he wasn't bitten by a radioactive leper.

It would be cool if they do a Leopard movie .

Great vid buddy - my older brother started reading 2000ad and StarLord back in the late 70's, I was too young to fully understand but picked up the bug in the 80's and I collected every prog until the mid-late 90;s - great comic and stories - subbed and liked 👍

Ιn Greece Leopard Kid was a very beloved character along with Blek.

This brought back memories. It also reminded me of ‘Billy the Cat’ which I also thought was cool 😂

Less than a thousand people have seen this video masterpiece? That is indeed a sham. This is in the uppermost tier of review presentation on this platform, and it deserves better.

My Mum had a Leopard from Lime Street costume made for me one Christmas! Best present ever! I used to run around outside pretending to save all the kids!

I just found this channel and wish I could buy this comic!

As someone who reads monster fun every month, I didn’t miss it when the leopard left a few months back, his story was too complex for something that was coming out bi monthly back then (every 2 months). Steel commando suffered from this too, I’d forget what what was going on with by the time I got the next issue 😂, wonder if he’s gonna come back to monster fun, as they love to drop and bring back stuff randomly every month.

why the hell did they not like force unleashed 2?? i fucking loved it, imo it’s better than some current star wars games

“Rip-off” is a bit strong. Virtually every Marvel character was copied or adapted from either DC or other characters in its own roster. Even elements of the spider-suit were copied from a children’s toy. I must admit, the similarities between the Leopard and Spider-Man never really occurred to my 70s-era self and I was familiar with both characters. Maybe it’s because I’d never seen his origin story about being scratched. Regardless, both were entertaining products of their time that kids today unfortunately don’t get to see unless they have enlightened relatives.

I like a well told story. It'd be cool to see the horror version move into an animated series or even a live action series (like misfits) or even a (well done) movie. Thanks for sharing...

I like to think of this game as an alllegory of not only the oppression and destruction Christianity brought to Europe, but also more poignantly the colonisation of countries outside Europe by Europeans which led to the oppression and destruction of people of colour the world over, and about the continuing damage to these people and their societies caused by European colonisation and exposure to Western domination, which can only be overcome by the resurrection and revival of these pre-colonial societies and the rejection of all things colonial. I also think there is maybe a reminder in here about how Europeans need to realise that they have harmed much of the rest of the world, and this harm is ongoing.

Interesting 😊

I'm happy to say i bought a copy of Legends, Chronicles and Lament on launch

So he cribbed spider-man and then black panther

I always liked the film. Not keen on the newer ones, the cgi is horrible. Much prefer practical effects. The original films and series are amazing

I remember this from a 2000ad republish

“Cribbing” things from other cultures to rebrand as your own is the most British thing since the British museum

😅 never ever heard of this but wow 😂

The fact that he is named Leopard from Lime Street instead of Limey Leopard. Missed opportunity.

For the love of God, would you please also do a critique of the infinitely dire ‘Billy The Cat’. It made the T. L.F.L.S. look like Citizen Kane. Even an impressionable seven year old me could spot that which could not be polished. It took decades for this steaming turd to seem worthwhile, until Viz parodied it in an excellent strip called ‘Barry The Cat’. I still laugh about it now.

Used to read this back in the day

Mum, I want Spider-Man We've got Spider-Man at home! Thanks for covering my favourite super-hero! By the way, if you read the first Garth Ennis presents: Battle Classics, the kid the grandpa is telling the HMS Nightshade story to is 100% Billy Farmer. I don't have it to hand right now, but I'm guessing it was Mike Western.

its sad that priniting of comics here has been stopped :(

With how the British stole a lot of things and put in the British museum and colonized countries I’m not surprised they tried to steal Spider-Man and make it more British

The King Kobra is a Spiderman Ripoff too

Just bought the Monster fun Leopard, also have a few rebellion graphics . Leopard, Archie, Spider and the Steel Claw. The Johnny Future hardback was a beautiful edition art and story wise.

Love these ols British Superheroes so much that I wrote a tribute book called THE QUIRKS for kindle . Brought them kicking and screaming into a modern age. Brought up on these and Marvel comics . A golden age!

I just realized, is Eric meant to be a certain Dhampir (trying to edit this in because apparently something is causing me to not let my comment get posted) in disguise? I mean it's a MUCH better fake name than what he had in the Sorrow games. Granted, I'm also one for not counting the Morris games as canon, at least to the main timeline considering they're just wholesale building off the novel, plus apparently even the devs didn't want the first one to be counted as canon. To be clear, I'm NOT saying "discount the games 100% away from the series", I'm ONLY saying I don't think we should have it on the main series's timeline chronology. We should still absolutely try to maybe integrate their mechanics and ideas in somehow (like honestly while not the same history, I wouldn't mind having the characters themselves in some way be IN the timeline, just mostly in a "the way we know their game events happen didn't occur in the main timeline").

Shadows Of The Empire for me.

No shade to mr.ditko, but I'd love to see this artstyle on the first spidey issues, looks beautiful.

Love it! Only vaguely remember the comic, but that costume really brought it back to me.. Nice "cameo" of Frank Sidebottom at 13mins. My recollection of comics from the time was that the uk edition marvel reprints cost much more and couldn't get them where we lived .. that and we used to treat the newsagent as a library.... until getting shouted at...

I love how you use ape related soundtracks in an ape related movie review 😂😅❤

I remember Leopard from Lime Street. Why didn't he get included in the new Monster Fun?

Can anyone recommend some novels that are similar to the Fantastic Four, in the sense that it blends elements and themes of family, action/adventure, exploration, and sci-fi together?

Halfway through my first video and I'm hooked. This takes me right back. I wasn't quite old enough for Buster at this time but did add The Eagle to my comic reading when it was reintroduced in 1983 (my Mum bought it for 7 year old me because she had fond memories of reading Dan Dare in her older brothers' comics back in the 50s). There was so much skill and talent in UK comics that we took for granted as kids; the line about comics lining the budgie cage really hit me. I always enjoyed DC and Marvel at the same time as I read The Eagle and Beano but UK comics really hit differently in a way I couldn't articulate as a kid, something about the familiarity in the scale and scope of the stories (not to mention the healthy and humorous disrespect for authority), even in the scifi stories I'd eventually move onto in 2000AD. Thank you so much for taking me back and reminding me about this forgotten chapter in British comics.

the original furry superhero

Transformers is a rip-off of The Go-Bots.

Then they say Darksouls is hard. Try beating this game and the squeal without internet access.

You do realize when they continued the comic on and made him a animal totem with basically or a vampires hunting him they were still copying Spider-Man right? Have you never heard of the spider totems? It's one of the things that launched the spider verse in Marvel Comics

The Apocalypse War showed how war makes monsters of people. It was incredibly interesting, but also horrifying. Even the best of people can do the most awful of things when they stop questioning their own actions.
