The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 21 &... Swap Shop!



This week at The Kids From Rec. Road, our very own Sean Phillips explains what Kids Of The Stones has all been about. Who's behind it all, what's been going on, and why Tiger-Man and Caroline Munro can possibly exist in the same reality.
That'll be useful. I haven't got a clue, me.
While over at:


We're talking swapping ( comics, that is ). Did you swap? What was the best haul you ever got away with? Tell us all at kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 19 AND... Who Did You Want To Be?



In the latest instalment of Kids Of The Stones, are we finally about to find out who's behind it all? Well, obviously, I'M behind it all, 'cos I write and draw the strip, but I mean in the actual story...
Meanwhile, over at:


Who did you really want to be as a kid? And who, in the grim light of day, were you really?

The Kids From Rec. Road In Kids Of The Stones Pt. 18 And... How Have Things Changed?



Yes, cartoon me. Look! At this week's extraordinary episode of Kids Of The Stones, where it actually looks like we might heading for a rollickin' resolution to the saga any time this decade.
While over at:


We ask: How have things changed for us comic fans? Since the movies came along, and everybody in the world suddenly became card carrying Marvelites, have people actually stopped saying things like: 'You like comics?? But comics are for little kids!!'
Did we, as Marv Wolfman once suggested, actually WIN?

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 16 &.... How Do We Fix This?



How CAN we get kids into comics again?? Our senses-stunning guest star Caroline Munro doesn't know. But maybe we do.


Join us at kidsfromroad.blogspot.com for this week's Pete's Podium, where we try to come up with a way to get all that Avengers: Endgame audience reading the actual comics.
But remember, it only counts if you comment at Rec. Road.... So pop in, the conversations just getting started.

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 15 & YOUR favourite Supporting Character



This week, over at Rec. Road, something strange is happening every time we say our guest star Caroline Munro's name. Well, that's the '70's for you...
While over at:


We're talking supporting characters. Who's the one character you like nearly as much as the title star? I seriously doubt anybody's going to disagree with my choice, but you never know...

The Kids From Rec. Road Meet Caroline Munro AND Who Did You Miss Out On?



Yes, the rumours are true, fantasy film fans! This week, The Kids are joined over at Rec. Road by the lady we all fell in love with back in the Bronze Age, the incomparable Caroline Munro.


Will we turn into giggling goons the second she walks into frame? What d'you think?
While over at:


We're talking Who Did You Miss Out On? Which Bronze Age star totally passed you by at the time, who you now realize you should've been reading all along? Founder Kid Dave ( I bought a DC once, y'know ) Holman has picked his, now it's your turn.
Join us ( and Caroline ) over at kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 12 & I Coulda' Been A Contender!



Have you seen the new variant Tiger-Man cover from Image? What's that? You didn't know Tiger-Man has actually been the best-selling hero in comics for decades? You haven't been to Rec. Road lately!
While over at:


We're talking contenders. Those characters you think really should've made it, but for one reason or another, didn't. We're picking ours, drop into kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com and tell us who YOU think deserved a guest slot in Marvel Team-Up, followed by a series of their own...

The Kids From Rec. Road in: Children Of The Stones pt. 12 AND Superteams!



So basically, there's me, Lord Sean of Philbo & The Gargantuan Graham-Thing vs. a whole village of freaked out, 'Happy Day' spouting Children Of The Stones type loons. As superteams go, we're nearly up there with The Legion of Super Pets...


But who actually IS the best Superteam? And who's the worst? As always we're making our choices over at kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com. Pop in and tell us which gang of costumed cut-ups you stand with...

The Kids Of Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 11 & Modern Comics



This week in Kids Of The Stones, it looks like me & Sean are the only people left in the creepy village of Milbury who haven't been brainwashed into grinning, 'Happy Day' spouting goons. But then, we always were a pair of miserable gits, me & him...
While at...


We're talking modern comics. Yes, Virginia, I DO buy modern comics! Do you as well, or are you as stuck in the Bronze Age as me?? What new stuff should we all be buying? Let us know, as always, at kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com

The Kids From Rec. Road Meet Caroline Munro

Here's a quick practice to get the look. Not quite there yet, But I'll keep working at it...

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Kids Of The Stones pt. 10 & YOUR Favourite Character!



Calm down Sean, it's not like it's legendary TV character actor Freddie Jones' fault you're stuck in the time-warped village of Milbury, and everyone's falling under a strange, mind-controlling spell... or is it?
Find out in this week's episode of The Kids From Rec. Road: Kids Of The Stones, over to the right there as always.
While at:


We're asking the only question that matters around these parts: Who's YOUR all-time favourite comic character? And more importantly, WHY?

The Kids From Rec. Road In: Children Of The Stones pt. 9 & Things You Won't Accept



Just what are me & Sean recoiling in astonishment from? Only the most astounding event which will change everything you ever knew and will alter Rec. Road permanently and forever. Until next week, like every other comic event.
Meanwhile, over at ...


We're talking Krypto-Revisionism. What particular comic stories or 'arc's' struck you as so wrong-headed, so ludicrous, so just plain stupid that you don't just dislike them, but actually refuse to accept that they ever happened?
I reckon we've picked the all-time classic, and by the power of Krypto-Revisionism, the world of comicdom is now safe.
Find out what it is, and tell us yours, over at kidsfromrecroad.blogspot.com
