Throw Down Your SWORD

Last year I wrote to the publisher of the TV21 strip re-print books asking the question whether they might consider re-printing the SWORD strips? The answer was essentially no, quoting insurmountable copyright issues as the likely barrier. Undeterred I then asked another popular outlet if they might consider publishing the collected SWORD strips but again it wasn't a successful idea.

So, as it would appear that they are unlikely to be re-printed any time soon, would it be right and proper to consider posting them here as we did with the earlier SOLO strips? Readers' views would be welcomed especially regarding copyright, access to scanned strips [I only have a few!] and any other comments.

PS. The SWORD TV21 strip began on the 6th April!

I for one would love to see them all. I've got a couple of original TV21's . I not sure how we'd stand on the copyright thing though. The insurmountable bit sounds like more than one party own the Sword rights : (
