Always a worthy front page returner. But surely we are due a hardback special edition by now w/unfinished artwork, interviews w/the creator etc.

Don’t worry, the Ultimate Future Shock, Ultimate Edition will shockingly turn up some time in the Future.

This seems a good opportunity to mention that the creator of the Ultimate Future Shock has his first ACTUAL SERIES in 2000AD starting (I think) in the issue on sale now. GO BUY!!

Either Opera or my computer have literally just upgraded to be able to view this in the last half an hour. I always thought the joke was that there wasn’t anything there.
