When I became Lord Mayor in November 2018, I committed myself to a programme that was titled “Shaping Tomorrow’s City Today.”I was determined to use my Mayoral year to promote innovation and technology, champion digital skills, and address social and digital inclusion. Entrepreneurship plays a critical role in delivering on these three goals, especially as it has always been a cornerstone of the City’s activities. Today, with the Fourth Industrial Revolution upon us, entrepreneurs continue to make significant contributions to fulfilling this vision and shaping tomorrow’s city. Your work to harbour the “mysteries” of entrepreneurship, and your commitment to maintaining City values – underpinned by your mantra, “Dare, Create, Succeed” – make for a heady mix. Your presence is felt in the City, while your impact in fostering those from our surrounding communities are both noted with admiration. We all share in your entrepreneurial spirit. May I thank you for your continued support for the City and the Lord Mayor’s Office. As we move into the coming year, I also wish to thank your Master Peter Hewitt and bid his successor, Rick Lowe, a successful year in office. The Rt Hon. the Lord Mayor, The Rt Hon.

Peter LR Hewitt JP, together with his wife, Fidelma, and daughters Joanna and Michaela FROM THE MASTER Dear Reader, A very warm welcome to our 5th annual edition of Dare, Create, Succeed, which showcases the work of the Guild of Entrepreneurs throughout the 2018-19 Guild Year. It has been a great honour to have served as the 5th Master Entrepreneur - my ambitions for the Entrepreneurs at the outset of my year were three things: Firstly, the creation of an ‘internal market’ for services for Freemen Entrepreneurs – this is operating on the website. This gets back to the roots of the Livery by ‘quality assurance’ of the services provided. Secondly, was to continue the legacy of Raleigh400 (my ancestor Sir Walter Raleigh died 400 years ago in 1618). Last year’s Raleigh400 event was a great success and paved the way for this year’s Guild of Entrepreneurs Raleigh Lecture to be held on December 3rd at Drapers’ Hall. This brings together academic research by Queen Mary University London, Entrepreneurs and 6th form pupils from more than 20 Livery schools (as well as Livery Masters) to discuss and debate the subject in hand. Finally, raising more money for the Trust. This is a core element of the Guild’s Progression to Livery status and requires us to have at least 150,000 in the Trust account. At the beginning of the year we started with barely £35,000 and I am delighted to say that, at the time of writing, we have over £100,000. This was a team effort with some significant individual donations, the tandem Parachute jump with the Red Devils in July but most importantly, small amounts from individual Freemen. Inside this magazine, you will see just how enormously busy the Guild has been in 2018-19 – not only in its philanthropy and support for the profession, but also in fellowship and in fun. The work of the many Committees of the Guild and the Guild’s Trust has been tireless this year and I would like to express my personal gratitude to all those who have so generously given of their time. I would also like to express my personal thanks to our Clerk, Duncan Simms who has nobly risen to the challenge of managing a group of Entrepreneurs, no easy task! Our events are now seamless and our ceremonial, is I believe, as good as any established Livery Company. I would also like to thank the Drapers’ Company and, in particular, the Clerk, Colonel Richard Winstanley OBE, who has provided significant support to the Guild over the year. My sincere thanks to all Freemen, and especially the Communications Committee, who have worked to produce this excellent magazine. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading it and will find yourself as inspired as I am by entrepreneurship and by our entrepreneurs. Best wishes, Peter Hewitt Master Entrepreneur, 2018-2019 guildofentrepreneurs.org 3 191021_Cadence_GoE.indd 3 12/11/2019 16:58 Installation Court 2018 A little night music Immediate Past Master Lee Robertson hands over the reins to Master Peter Hewitt The Masters of the Marketors, the Entrepreneurs, the Drapers and the Cutlers 2018 / 19 Wardens A view from the nave - the Reverend Canon David Parrott starts proceedings Admitting new Freemen to the Guild Mrs Judy Hadden installed as Junior Warden A stunning menu was served (as usual!) 4 guildofentrepreneurs.org 191021_Cadence_GoE.indd 4 12/11/2019 16:58 Installation Court 2018 The 2018 Installation Court was held on Book of Judges, recounting the early encounter to promotion to a Company without Livery, Wednesday 28th November at the Guild’s church of Gideon with an angel.

    UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDOS ANGLÍSTICOS “9 into 7” Considerations on ‘V for Vendetta’: Book and Film. Luís Silveiro MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE LETRAS DEPARTAMENTO DE ESTUDOS ANGLÍSTICOS “9 into 7” Considerations on ‘V for Vendetta’: Book and Film. Luís Silveiro Dissertação orientada por Doutora Teresa Cid MESTRADO EM ESTUDOS INGLESES E AMERICANOS (Estudos Norte-Americanos: Cinema e Literatura) 2010 Abstract The current work seeks to contrast the book version of Alan Moore and David Lloyd‟s V for Vendetta (1981-1988) with its cinematic counterpart produced by the Wachowski brothers and directed by James McTeigue (2005). This dissertation looks at these two forms of the same enunciation and attempts to analise them both as cultural artifacts that belong to a specific time and place and as pseudo-political manifestos which extemporize to form a plethora of alternative actions and reactions. Whilst the former was written/drawn during the Thatcher years, the film adaptation has claimed the work as a herald for an alternative viewpoint thus pitting the original intent of the book with the sociological events of post 9/11 United States. Taking the original text as a basis for contrast, I have relied also on Professor James Keller‟s work V for Vendetta as Cultural Pastiche with which to enunciate what I consider to be lacunae in the film interpretation and to understand the reasons for the alterations undertaken from the book to the screen version. An attempt has also been made to correlate Alan Moore‟s original influences into the medium of a film made with a completely different political and cultural agenda.

It is steeped in all the things I love. From the adventure stories of H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle I took the long build-up to a fantastic element, made all the more amazing because the characters are immersed in the ‘real world’ for so much of the story. From the comics medium I dipped my pen into the European tradition of Hergé, Edgar P. Jacobs, Yves Chaland and the descendents of their ligne claire legacy, along with the strong sense of environment – a believable world – from Asterix and Tintin. Yet I wanted characters and a setting that were very strongly British, without being patriotic. Mixed into all this is my fondness for an involving and compelling plot, and artistic influences absorbed from a wealth of comic artists and illustrators, from Kay Neilsen to Bryan Talbot, and a simple love of history and adventure. No zombies, no bikini-clad gun-toting nubiles, and no teeth-gritting ... grittiness. Just a huge slice of pure adventure, made to go with a big mug of tea.

Thank you to everyone who ordered from one or more of our previous catalogs and especially Gold and Platinum customers. Please be patient when you call if we are not here, we promise to get back to you as soon as possible. This catalog has been expanded to include Magazines, Fanzines, Pulps, Undergrounds and Big Little Books. Most comics that were stickered below $10 have been omitted as well as paperbacks, Digests, Posters and Artwork. I also removed the mid-grade/priced issue if there were more than two copies, if you don't see a middle grade of an issue number, just ask for it. They are available on the regular web-site www.terryscomics.com. If you are looking for non-key comics from the 1980's to present, please send us your want list as we have most every issue from the past 30 years in our warehouse. Over the past year we have been fortunate to keep a steady pace of buying and selling vintage comics. We continue to exhibit at many shows and buy many collections. Comics are fun to read and collect but they are a good investment as well. Buy the best you can afford and store them safely. If your comics are protected, they are likely to continue to accumulate value and you will preserve their appearance. We continue to look for Silver/Bronze age keys as we need to have lots of them to continue doing so many conventions.

Born in 1952, ANNE GAY, came originally from Leicester but currently lives with her teenage daughter in Birmingham. She teaches languages full-time at a secondary school as well as writ­ ing fiction and the occasional Spanish textbook. Her first published story was "Wishbone" which appeared in GOLLANCZ-SUNDAY TIMES BEST SF STORIES in 1987. MINDSAIL (1990), her first published novel, describes how the passengers of a crashed spaceship adjust to an alien planet, gradually evolving into fragmented warring societies in the process. Her second novel, THE BROOCH OF AZURE MIDNIGHT (1991), explores the reactions of an expanding Terran culture to the challenge and opportunity of worm hole access to the stars. DANCING ON THE VOLCANO (1992) and its sequel TO BATHE IN LIGHTNING (July 1995, Orbit, £5.99) deal with a far-future Earth ruled by a powerful and oppressive government, the Admin (controlled in its turn by the Matriarch), and the colonists of the distant planet Harith.
