Temple Classic Covers 18
Temple Classic Cover 18 (c) Tim Geeves
Issue 18 was probably the source of the biggest Temple controversy, and came very close to being the last Temple ever.
You see, after all the momentum that the Temple had built up and the constant influx of new members, this issue promised to be the biggest and the best yet. The legendary John Freeman was coming onboard, as was some likeable chap named Neill Cameron. The future was all bright and shiny and happy times were to be had by all, oh yes indeed!
Except Issue 18 completely failed to materialise. Several months passed, many a frenzied phone conversation was had, and attempts to contact the new Central Mailer (responsible for putting the issues together and sending them out by mail) failed.
True to his Superhero heritage, the Temple's founder Kyle Kimmons travelled several hundred miles across the country, rounded up a small possy of angry Scotsmen (Darren Taylor) and raided the Central Mailers house in an SAS fashion. After wrestling the contributor's pages from the CM's cold, dead fingers, they compiled the issue in record time and sent it out as fast as they possibly could.
Sadly the damage was already done, and after that issue the membership began to dwindle and the Temple never really recovered. Still, if it hadn't been for Kyle and Darren's valiant efforts (and John Kirkham, who must've racked up one hell of a phone bill that month doing rumour control), the Temple would've been 55 issues shorter. Cheers, chaps! May your collective beards and moustaches never tarnish!

Free Doggie!
For World Book Day UK comic writer Jason Cobley has made all his ebooks free, including The Greatest Adventures Of Captain Winston Bulldog, The Extraordinary Exploits Of Captain Winson Bulldog, and Bulldog Clips.
I've always had a bit of a softspot for Captain Bulldog as the Bulldog Adventures Magazine was the first small press comic I ever brought (way back in the nineties!). There's some mighty fine creators involved in these comics, and you'll find the likes of Garen Ewing (of Rainbow Orchid fame), PJ Holden (2000ad regular), Neill Cameron (highly popular artist for The Phoenix, and ex-Temple member) and there's even a few contributions from myself and Paul Harrison Davies (my Bunk Mates and Hoodied Horror collaborations with Paul appear inside Bulldog Clips).
Anyway, enough waffle from me! They may not be free for long, so pop along to Lulu and start downloading them now!
