Forbidden Planet International finds us funny...

All-ages sequential tales, principally aimed at the younger reader, do not often make headlines in the world of comics.  They tend to be ignored in favour of whatever superhero fare is currently doing the rounds.  Which is why the support of Forbidden Planet International has always been such a joy.  They were the first to champion the DFC comic and now they are at the forefront of supporters who sing praise for The Phoenix.

On Saturday they posted the third in a series of special Phoenix 'Weekenders', a collection of their favourite highlights from the latest issue, and guess what?  Long Gone Don made the cut!...

... literally, as this excerpt featuring Castanet's dangerous brother, Juju, clearly demonstrates)...

















Nothing like some comedy action to start the week, eh?

The Phoenix is available to purchase by subscription from the website HERE, or from lots of amazing bookshops, a map and list of which can be found HERE!
