It's odd as a search of Misty doesn't include that thread either. It includes one reference, but I don't see jamesdoigs.

It may be an index problem. Maybe you've had it before?

The built in search engine can be erratic. You could try bookmarking this. Far from perfect, but it sometimes locates stuff the proboards SE overlooks.

Misty Presents: The Jaume Rumeu Collection (Rebellion, 2021) Introduction - Pat Roach
The Black Widow - Script: Bill Harrington, Art: Jaume Rumeu The Spider Woman - Script: Bill Harrington, Art: Jaume Rumeu Dressed to Kill! - Script: Unknown, Art: Jaume Rumeu Spend Spend Spend! - Script: Unknown, Art: Jaume Rumeu
Essays Context and Girlhood - Julia Round Mise En ScĆØne - Geraint D'Arcy Stylistic Analysis, or "Sweating the Small Stuff" - John Miers Tangled in a Web of Ink - Ian Horton A Posture's Worth a Thousand Words: "Mind Reading" Characters in The Black Widow - Dona PursllThe latest installment in Rebellion's Misty reprint series collects four stories illustrated by Spanish artist Jaume Rumeu (a.k.a. Homero, full name Jaume Rumeu Perera). In her silken lair, hidden from the eyes of the world, she who was to become known as the Black Widow, gloated.The first two stories, "The Black Widow" and "The Spider Woman," are serials featuring the arachnid-loving Mrs. Webb, who is out for revenge on the government (for her husband's death) along with a side of world domination. The scripts aren't as creative as the ones Malcolm Shaw wrote for the magazine, and the illustrations aren't as elegant as the ones drawn by Jordi Badia Romero, but it's all good fun, with a smattering of deadly spider attacks on the way to upbeat resolutions. Like many of the Misty short-short stories, "Dressed to Kill!" and "Spend Spend Spend!" offer up darker, more sardonic endings. The former involves a costume party where one girl dresses as a fly and another dresses as a spider, while the latter pits a greedy teen against a pack of gnomes with an eye for the fine print. I haven't read the essays yet, but a glance suggests that this volume probably features one of the finest collections of scholarly analysis on Misty. This looks so terrific. I love that, apart from the all-important strips they also include short fiction (from your synopsis, "Dressed to kill!" sounds a very Vault story) and articles.

Oh, good old Henry Jenkins. He wrote a book about slash fan fiction which fascinated me when I read it in the mid 1990s.
Thanks for the link, Dr Strange.
cheers, Hel

I never read Misty myself. I do remember its launch being advertised on television, a regular practice which now seems incredible. In any event, it seems that the entirety of Misty is downloadable from here: britishcomics.wordpress.com/2016/09/30/misty/

On the subject of horrors in British comic strips I've only found out that this actually existed. Believe it or not!

The Potter Heigham story is told in more detail in the entertaining but fallacious Chas. Sampson's "Ghosts of the Broads" described n the Vault's True Ghost Library.

If you keep posting these I will be compelled to buy one of those Rebellion reprints of Misty after all. :-)

These are amazing! I love the art and the fact that the readers were collecting and submitting the stories for this feature.

I had to laugh at the mother's reaction to seeing a ghost at the end of the bed in the story about the book. What does she do? Lock the room to make sure no-one else has such a frightening experience? Nah, just swap rooms with her kids and problem solved!
