What’s the most underrated comic you’ve ever read? One that you think more people should be reading?

@ShippersUnbound @AlbertoNardelli So sad to hear about Deighton’s death. One of my favourite writers, but I’m surprised more people aren’t aware of him. Ipcress File and the entire spy with no name series is terrific, as is the Sampson set. Here’s part of my LD collection

Very sad to learn of the death of Len Deighton, who was one of the two greatest spy thriller writers of all time and in some regards was Le Carre’s superior. Anyone who has not read Deighton should try Funeral in Berlin, Bomber or SSGB. Most of all they should seek out Berlin Game, the start of an epic 10 book Cold War series focused on Bernard Samson. Deighton’s writing was sharp, satirical, gripping and often amusing. His office infighting in the intelligence services was delicious and his characters are beautifully drawn. The Samson cycle starts with a meticulously plotted run of five books (Berlin Game, Mexico Set, London Match, Spy Hook and Spy Line) which all stand alone but tell one big story from the jaded but dedicated perspective Bernard a brilliant field operative. Len’s genius idea was to use the sixth, Spy Sinker, to retell the whole cycle from the perspective of everyone else, exposing what Bernard didn’t know and misunderstood. There is then an origin story about Bernard’s dad during the war, Winter, and then a concluding trilogy of Faith, Hope and Charity, which is not as high quality but deals with the fallout from the events of books 1-5. It’s an epic achievement and the greatest long series in spy fiction, accepting that the Smiley series is the greatest short series. Do yourself a favour, give it a try

1/2 OTD 09SEP1969 The Beatles minus Ringo are at Apple HQ, Saville Row, to discuss their future and the possibility of a new album. Ringo was in hospital undergoing tests for an intestinal complaint. In 2019, a tape of the meeting was discovered. #Beatles

@peterlanee Good spot. On Spotify they’ve become ‘Anthology’ versions so looks like it’s definitely happening

@jakecoyleAP That’s a great description actually. Can’t imagine what it’s like to see him at a small venue. And a great set - minus Come on to Me but I guess he has to play something new (wish it was Dominoes). Congratulations

Not sure how to properly describe Paul McCartney’s Bowery Ballroom show. He began with Hard Days Night, ended with The Weight. He played Blackbird solo. He rocked the s*** out of Jet. I staggered out into the snow outside.
