popped down the book market beneath Waterloo Bridge today hoping to get a few Piccidilly Cowboys to try alas all i could find was Edge#21 (NEL 1st Edition) for £20! bit rich for my tastes. hoping to get to a couple of other second hand shops (particually Skoob at the Brunswick Centre) to try and, finally, find a couple of Brit cowboys.

cheers crab! wasn't sure if it was the 'NEL 1st Edition' thing that racked up the price?? was surprised it was the only brit-western i could see. Some have become impossible to find, at least online. Or they are too expensive for a dubious quality. I have got some really lousy copies lately which I would have described as reading copy only instead of good. I am still looking for the last Crow, some Lawman and Breed. Especially the Crow seems to be gone from the market. |

18 and 40 are very different books. 18 is a typical novel of what you could call the golden age of the series, violent, slightly bizarre in terms of plot, full of great bad puns.
40 has a more slowly pace, the hero is older.
The Jubal Cade I don´t have a recollection off, even if I know I read it. Angus Well´s Breed were often better than the Cade´s which tend to be a bit by the numbers imho.

reading edge 18 at the mo - in the first 50 odd pages: two shootings to death and a castration - and a lot of dodgy puns!!
(the best being after a bloke tried to force himself in a womans mouth and then got most of his face blown off - "well i guess he got what he wanted to - a little head...")
i'll let you know re the cade and the difference between the two edges.

It's a shame you couldn't get Edge 21, Ben. Is that Rhapsody In Red? The whole thing's a parody of the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont in 1969. There's a character called Rollo Stone, another called Hy Fy, the Alice Cooper Tabernacle Choir get mentioned, and there's even the Wild West equivalent of Hell's Angels.
