FCBD: Design an Iron Man Armour Competition

Thanks to everyone who entered our ‘Design an Iron Man Armour’ competition. We had a great time looking at all of the incredible entries and were blown away by the talent on display, not to mention the fantastic ideas for Tony’s new armour.

You will be able to see the original art on display in the ACE Comics Stores and we have a ‘Hall of Armours’ gallery below.

There can, however, only be one winner and that winner is…

Iron Man Armour by Lucas (10)

LUCAS FRASER from COLCHESTER!

Rare Comics on eBay as Spawn’s Angela joins the Marvel Universe

Angela (Marvel Universe)

Angela is on her way to the Marvel Universe!

The character of Angela was co-reated by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane and originally appeared as part of Image ComicsSpawn series. Following a long-running legal battle over the rights to the character which resolved in 2012, awarding Gaiman a 50% co-ownership, it’s been announced that the redesigned Angela is to make her debut Marvel appearance in the Age Of Ultron finale which will lead into a role in Guardians Of The Galaxy!

Make sure you don’t miss out on this exciting arrival – add ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ to either your Economics Subscriptions, your ACE Comics in-store customer reservations or sign up for the simple 6-Issue Subscription!

If you want to delve into the history of Angela, we have a selection of noteable back issues in our eBay store, including the Neil Gaiman 3-issue mini-series from 1994/5, with links to each one below:

Back Issues Spring Cleaning!

ACE Comics Back Issues

We’ve undertaken some spring cleaning in our back issue pages this week!

As well as bumping our sold-out titles from the back issue lists, we’ve tweaked the Back Issues page to make it slightly easier to find what you’re after – there are some easy-to-use icons to quickly find your desired publisher and we’ve rearranged our Independents section so all of the comics are in title order, rather than by publisher.

Take a look. You might just find something you’re missing!
