Yeah, mine does too. It's a small price to pay for the rest of the amazing stuff in there, to be honest. SUCH a nostalgia trip for me.

This is probably the wrong thread for this but are you a child of the eighties? I am and remember those days with fondness.

Yep born in 1975.
Grew up with Star Wars, Transformers A-team and Wham bars. Not the pop group 
I grew up listening to eighties pop of course and watching Magnum P.I., The Fall Guy, The Incredible Hulk, Knight Rider and Matt Houston.
Wrong thread for this though. Better stop or Ill be in trouble.

You're damn right it's the wrong thread! This is the UK thread...
...so forget Knight Rider and Magnum P.I. and prey silence please as we quietly revere those 80s true legends - Dangermouse, Worzel Gummidge, SuperGran and Jossie's Giants!
Ooh - and Bullseye, you can't beat a bitta bully...

Carry on with that, and all you'll be getting is your B.F.H

Some ideas to improve the comic: One: Drift needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two: whenever Drift's not in an issue, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Drift"? |

And, inevitably, the repro is microscopic again. Such a pity that the love and care that's clearly gone into compiling these volumes has been spoiled by half-hearted and shoddy production. (Then again, judging by moire issues in these comics, I now imagine part of the decision to reduce the size of the pages was to try to blur dot patterns. And at least the end result isn't as bad as the utterly dreadful reprints of the US strips.) |

You guys are hilarious. Blake's 7 was gold, too.
Also, speaking of Dr. Who, if IDW decided to give the TF black & white issues the colour treatment they gave to the good Doctor's b&w issues, I'd buy those in a heartbeat.
I don't think IDW has gotten around to reprinting any TF issues featuring Death's Head, the best frenemy Rodimus & Doctor #7 ever had! |

I was just about to ask if anyone else's copy had this error! |
yep, mine two. Its not just a printing error, b/c the page numbers at the bottom are in the correct order; looks like the pages of material got out of order.
Regardless, these have been great volumes. Its a real fulsome history that James has collected. I like the fact that it also now points out when stories have been reprinted by IDW (those werent included in Vol. 1). And love the new Wildman covers.
