Several new and updated entries in the Pulps section.
4 November 2011
Various minor updates, but also added significant new info to South Africa's Mighty Man, with all credit for that going to the generous assistance of Nick Wood, and Italy's Zakimort. Both these entries were largely empty, "placeholders," before.
30 June 2011
Just a quick note to confirm to those who have asked - yes, I am still updating the site, and have done so a number of times since June last year. I just keep forgetting to update this page with a note of what else is being updated.
June 2010
I've made a bit of a push of late on trying to catch up on the huge backlog of mail I have (thanks again to those who have written to me with additional information, images, etc). I get a lot of mail, and if, for any reason, I can't clear it as it comes in, it piles up fast (I'm now down to just under 500 unanswered e-mails, out of a prior backlog of 1,000 or so). I've been atrocious with clearing this backlog, and a few e-mails have sat for as much as five years, which is unconscionably bad of me. I never intended to leave anything that long, but a tendency to try and clear the backlog from the newest mails back meant that I simply never got right back to some of the earliest ones. As such, those people have my abject apologies - I do try to acknowledge all the mail I get, and my bad manners on keeping people waiting is inexcusable.
One side effect of clearing some of the backlog is that there's lots of smaller edits popping up all across the site, including (most excitingly, from my POV) more images of Golden Age British and Australian characters (much of that courtesy of Dennis Ray), new Italian and Spanish entries and images (some Dennis Ray, some from various Italian and Spanish correspondents), more Japanese kaiju (and other entries) from Michael Higuchi, and, soon if not with this update, more Filipino characters, courtesy of numerous correspondents (including my reliable sources of all things Pinoy, Jess Fernandez and Raffy). Thanks to all of them, and those I haven't mentioned individually here (you are credited on the specific pages), for helping enhance the site and spread the knowledge of characters from around the world.
March 2010
Mostly small tweaks on the site of late (notably some in the 2000 A.D. section), as life has been rather hectic recently. Apologies to those who have written to me - I'm often remiss with keeping up with such correspondence, and worse than normal at the moment. I will try and get back to anyone who writes to me eventually.
August 2009
More updates to the Omniverse section, splitting it into sections - in the Almanac, I've made a start on the 2000 A.D. multiverse section. Also, Dennis Ray has kindly sent me information and images for the Manxman entry.
10 August 2009
As ever, there's actually been a lot of smaller updates all across the site that I just keep forgetting to mention here - sorry. The most recent update is the Omniverse page, which I've finally made a start on.
18 March 2009
Lots of small amendments made since the last time I last updated this page. Notably, I've been "bookmarking ," mostly in the 2000 A.D. and US Independents sections, putting in partial entries for various characters. While they are a long way from complete, it at least fills out those sections somewhat and reminds me of what I still need to do.
19 January 2009
Since the last time I amended the updates page, there's been several additions. Notably, the Watchmen entries have been expanded, especially Rorschach.
20 August 2008
As can be clear by the gap between the date above and the one below, I've continued to be pretty bad about listing the updates. Sorry! Amongst the recent updates are expanded entries for Sherlock Holmes, Professor Moriarty, Dr. Watson, Dr. Moreau, Spring-Heeled Jack, Sir Denis Nayland Smith and Fu Manchu in the British literature section. There's also updates to Bruiser.
5 February 2008
There have been a bunch of updates over the last year, but I'm afraid that for a variety of reasons I've been pretty bad at updating this page to point them out. Sorry! Check out the War of the Independents section for many of them. And I'll try to be a bit better at noting the updates here in future.
18 February 2007
Filled out the entries for Baragon, Kingu Kongu and Shadowhawk, added an entry for Cat-Girl Nuku Nuku, all thanks to information sent in by Michael Higuchi.
17 February 2007
Started working through my huge backlog of e-mails on the site. Still have around 400 to do, but have updated various pages with snippets here and there. The most notable updates are to the Silverline pages (thanks to Thomas Fortenberry for this), Danny Doom (thanks to John Reppion and Leah Moore), and to various British characters including Streamline, Ace Hart, the Bat and Starr of Wonderland (a character I've been seeking info and images on for ages) - all these later ones thanks to the invaluable help of Dennis Ray, with "Threedscom" adding further details on Starr.
8 February 2007
As ever, I'm most remiss with updating the Updates page. There's been several new additions, including an overhaul of the Columbia comics page, the Four Star page, and the respective characters of both.
Oops - nearly forgot - there's also updates in the Broadway comics pages, and new pages covering Devil's Due and Dynamite Entertainment.
27 October 2006
Added reviews for Batman Beyond Season Two and Justice League Unlimited Season One.
18 September 2006
It's been a few months since I last updated the site (and much longer since I updated this page). I have loads of e-mails from people to catch up on, but if you have written to me, I do intend to write back eventually, so please bear with me. On new section, added due to a number of requests, is a Reviews page, covering recently released comics, books, DVDs, etc, which are relevant to this site in some way. I'll say now that anything I review there is probably recommended by me, simply because if I don't like something, I'm unlikely to buy it or waste my time writing about it.
9 May 2005
For a variety of reasons I've been exceptionally busy the last couple of months, and haven't made many changes to the site or answered much of my mail. Things look to be a little quieter now, so hopefully I will be making a bit of headway on the backlog in the next few days. Apologies if you wrote to me and haven't heard anything.
20 March 2005
Added Patoruzú, a humorous Golden Age Argentinian superhero.
4 March 2005
Added an entry for Zovek, a Mexican magician.
28 February 2005
Redesigned the front page of the site. Added pages for Germany, Finland and Sweden. Added Generacija Tesla, a group of Serbian superheroes, plus some of their allies and enemies. Added the Red Panda, an online audio hero in the Pulps style. Added the newest incarnation of Captain Canuck.
23 February 2005
Added Tristão in the Brazilian section, and El Eternauta and Cazador to the Argentinian one. Added a link to the Golem online strip from Lilith's and the Golem's pages. Added Jack Hunter, G.I. Spy.
06 February 2005
Been trying to catch up with mail after a while away visiting family. Apologies to anyone waiting for a reply. Have added Super Hrvoje, the site's first Croatian characters, and Sportacus, the first Icelandic one. William Uchtman, a.k.a. Thor2000, a fellow contributor to another site we both help on, sent me the latter, along with information on two British TV characters from the Benny Hill Show: Super Teach and Wonder Gran. John McDonagh sent me info on Hong Kong's Black Rose and Ye Cha (Masked Prosecutor), Grace informed me of Pretty Cure, and there's been several updates to the DC and Marvel Cartoons section thanks to contributions from Arthur Denorfia Jr, while the Bloodpack got some updates courtesy of Raven Silvers. Hopefully, if I can catch up on my mail backlog, I will be able to get round to doing a few additions of my own in the near future.
01 February 2005
As usual I've neglected the updates page, while still adding sporadic updates. Anyway, I've been asked if I would let people know about the release of the adventures of one of the TV superheroes, "The Greatest American Hero" on DVD. If you are into superhero characters, I'd urge supporting this release by buying the DVDs; encourage the companies to make more such TV shows available to the public!

04 September 2004
Gradually working through the U.S. section. Tomorrow the old version of the site should come down, and this updated one should go up, and I'll no longer be typing this section just for my own benefit.
30 August 2004
I've now fixed the links and images on all the sections except for the U.S. section.
27 August 2004
Fixed the Australian section links and images. Likewise the Canadian and French sections (although there remain profiles to be filled out, the links and images are all working).
26 August 2004
Philippines, Italy, Mexico, India and Israel have now been fixed, so all links and images should be working in those sections. I've also finished all the Japan section, bar the Giant Monsters, which I've made a start on. This also means I've finally gotten round to including profiles for all the Sailor Moon characters, a Japanese section long left languishing.
25 August 2004
As usual, I've fallen behind with maintaining this page - the Updates page is the one least updated! I'm busy doing a major re-write of the site at the moment - see the F.A.Q. page for details.
As of this moment, all the images and links should be working in the following sections of the site: Spain, China, Brazil, Netherlands, Belgium, Glossary, FAQ, Where Can I Buy?, Rest of World, Links, Argentina, Chile and New Zealand. I still have several of the bigger sections to fix: UK, India, Japan, US, France, Australia, Philippines, Italy, Israel, Canada, Mexico.
