Valient Entertainment, over the summer delivered a Time Capsule to a number of comic book stores. They have just sent them the keys to open up the box and see what's inside.

If you just can't wait, however, I'm doing it for you, on a nice summers day in London.

Here are the items within:

The capsule itself.





And what's inside, lithographs, coins, comics, suntan lotion, glasses, a bag – oh and I got an Archer & Armstrong hardcover just to make the postman earn his wages.

A Japanese language edition of 4001AD.

As you can see here.

I wonder what that will fetch on eBay. I know! Let's find out! (Link fixed)

And those 4001AD coins.

A couple may have been scattered somewhere in the garden, sadly… that will make an interesting archeological dig in a couple of millennia.
