Hi SPBMers, welcome to what will hopefully be a semi-regular feature of the blog - News Bites - which, as the name implies, are small bite-sized news items served together for your reading pleasure. But first I'd just like to thank everyone who nominated us in the Eagle Awards - we noticed that we were in the drop-down list for Favourite Comics Website and we're very very flattered by the gesture - thank you whoever you are.
Okay then... *ahem* This is the newwwwwwwws!
