17th Dec 2006 - 12th January 2009 Hello inquisitive ones! This is where we keep our message archives from times past! Please feel free to peruse them and marvel at what we discussed here in years gone by. It's our little history cache of what we were up to and where we hoped to be going with the site. Looking back now , I can only hope that we managed to fulfil at least most of them , if not all!

12th January 2009   Welcome to 2009! And what a start to the year,eh? Newly discovered books from 1974 in Portugal featuring Adam Eterno no less have come our way!And research,at a very preliminary stage would indicate he appeared in Serbia too! On a more general note,we are forging ahead with the LION run of strips which should be completed in the near future.That just leaves the VALIANT run to up and hopefully complete. The strips may be the meat and potatoes of the site,but it is the analysis thereafter that really interests me. Again,I extend an invitation to anybody out there to join our discussion group(see Ye Links). A place for all true fans! I have a lot of plans for the site,time permitting,and hope to achieve that very soon. As always,if you can help out in any way,don't hesitate! Cheers.   11th December 2008   I recently received delivery of 8 Issues of JANUS STARK!So scanning will commence shortly.Check out the page for new uploads periodically.It is very interesting to compare the re-editing that took place to make the strip fit the format.Also,a sobering thought to think that Adam Eterno was still being published and read,albeit reprints,in a comic for 7 more years after his closure in British comics!   5th December 2008   My eternal thanks to Tim Wright who sent me the missing part 10 scans of the epic El Dorado series.We can finally begin showing this fantastic adventure where Adam takes on all sorts of weird creatures.The action starts over at the Lion & Thunder page right now.Check back often to catch up on the series.   26th October 2008   Following hot on the heels of the conquistadors comes Adam battling it out in the French Invasion of Moscow in THE SPIRAL HOUSE.Read it now!   25th October 2008   Apologies for lack of updates lately,but things hectic in Real WOrld.Anyway,a new adventure for you tonight,the 2 part THE SPANISH INQUISITION.See how Adam Eterno handles them over at the Lion & Thunder page.More coming very soon!   2nd October 2008   A new adventure for Adam Eterno,where he pits his wits against a strange enigma in WW1,flying a plane!
