THE LATEST COMIC NEWS TWO MOONS #1

The horrors of the American Civil War are a backdrop to this spooky new tale from writer John Arcudi.

Young Pawnee Virgil Morris, who is also known by his indigenous name, Two Moons, is fighting for the Union.

In the heat of battle, Virgil finds himself on the wrong side of more than just the Confederat­e Army when he is suddenly confronted with his shamanic roots.

With stunning art by Valerio Giangiorda­no, Two Moons #1 is out now priced £3.60.

YOUNG HELLBOY: THE HIDDEN LAND #1

Considerin­g he’s a half-demon, the Hellboy universe spans many genres – from ScoobyDoo-esque haunted house-scapades, to much darker, twisted Nazi occult tales.

In Young Hellboy we find Big Red stranded on a strange island with Professor Bruttenhol­m – and they’re about to be confronted by all manner of monsters. Written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, this fun tale brings Hellboy’s childhood to life. Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land #1 is out now priced £3.60.

WITH the latest ease in Covid restrictio­ns announced last week, it is likely that competitiv­e cycling in the UK will make a restart on 30th March with time trials, and many Rossendale Road Club members will open their 2021 account at that time.

But members have been busy looking at other aspects of cycling during the lockdowns.

It was clear throughout last year that many people have taken up, or returned to, cycling and the club wish to present a new image and are keen to welcome those into the club scene, for social or competitio­n rides, both on and off road.

In addition, the increase in event entries during last year meant the club were able to make a donation to Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary, their nominated charity for 2020. To match this added interest, he club have been preparing a programme for this year which will include mid-week and weekend rides for all levels of ability.

The programme will include some demonstrat­ions on basic repairs and maintenanc­e and restart the informal cyclo-cross and off-road skills sessions which proved to be very popular last year.

On the competitiv­e side, a class will be introduced into the club’s time trial series for standard road bikes, for those who don’t a specific TT bike but would like to have a go at time trialling.

With several new members taking up coaching qualificat­ions within British Cycling, this is a great time for anyone to join a local cycling club and see what’s on offer.

Early indication­s are promising for competitiv­e cycling – cycling time trials will start after 29th March, with the valley club’s mid-week Harry Law series starting on Tuesday 4th May and the open Bolton by Bowland event on Saturday 8th May. Off road, there are cyclo-cross events planned for Saturdays 10th and 24th April at Broughton Hall near Skipton and a mountain bike race at Lee Quarry on Wednesday evening 16th June.

All the above, of course, depends on the easing of Covid restrictio­ns for all. Full details will be available on the club’s website and via other social media communicat­ions.
