Comics library/images....mostly British stuff
I made this!
I helped fund this in the old days ('98)and spent many hours scanning in images and writing comic bollocks. It was going to also be a site where we sold stuff but ended up as a trading house for people to trade with eachother ( it's subsidised by what we do now which is rather boring coding stuff that I don't understand) Labour of love and all that but somewhat gone to seed and little used these days. No money to be made but thought it might be useful for them doing the image challenge, or just fancying a trip down memory lane. Library here : www.26pigs.com/comics.html and image bank here: www.26pigs.com/26pigs_imagebank.php
(by the way, I found a site once where you could design your own superhero costume and then they would make it and send it to you... grateful for any leads as I'm off with Barmy Army for the first time next month and I want to look a twat so that I can fit in)..
I'll shut up now.
tl/dr? It's a comics site

I thought all that Beano stuff was American
When I found out otherwise, I felt it necessary to sit this challenge out.

Glad it's liked and handy augsav.

You'd think if they were willing to put their lives on the line that they'd spend a few quid getting a properly designed and fitted costume.

Some of them do add kevlar to their gear it seems...
though The Justice Society Of Justice does sound like something from The Life of Brian

Cool site & full of reminders of what I spent my pocket money on!
btw - Can anyone help me track down a comic book character?
I remember reading some foreign comic books in the early 90's and there was a massively muscled dark haired dude who wore a 'navy' type striped t-shirt, glacier shades and was pretty kinky & violent (lots of big guns), but also pretty funny.
Not sure if it was French or Belgian, but if you think of early Jean Paul Gaultier on steroids you'd be close!
Been trying to remember, but the old grey cells ain't what they were...

Being a "wasted youth" pretty sums up the cause of my rapidly depleting brain cells i fear :(
