I am just about to go off to read last week's Big Shot 83 (slacker that I am!). But judging by a quick skim of the reading group's comments I don't think is going to pull up any trees!
However, before I do another week's choice beckons us, and I think this one might just be a corker!
A recent and really welcome addition to the site are 9 pages from Streamline Comics #1 https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=64972 a "down and dirty" UK comic. It is brought to us by mr_goldenage (plus Guy E. Sparkman & Terry Hooper).
I noticed a comment made by paw broon pointing us to a complete Streamline Comics #4. So as we must be due for a non U.S. book here we go! Streamline Comics #4 can be found here. https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=29961. As it is just 20 pages we'll do the lot!

So after quite some time we are reading a British comic book and judging by the cover, we are in for an interesting ride.
Streamline: Ah! Wha! Wow! OWP! Heh! Unk! The way things are at the moment in this country (BTW I live in England) I believe Dr Du Mar actually has a moral duty to zap the House of Commons. But, I do think that death-raying the rest of us might be a bit too harsh.
Kid Carter - Yippee!

Presenting Inky - The Imp of the Inkpot: A rather silly artist / subject gag which was excellent.
Search For The Secret City: The only story with any real plot and we just get to read the fourth and final part.
Verdict: A hit. I think the makers spent at least 2 minutes working on the story lines for this. But this was more than made up with the art which was great. It has a real underground feel. I kept expecting a Fury Freak brother or Fat Freddy's cat to make an appearance. It would be interesting to know if any pharmaceuticals were used in the making of this book!
