Does anyone know if there will be a calendar this year. They usually appear in August, but I can't find it on the net. There were fewer printed last year for some reason. I've collected all of them since the first back in 1998, so I hope they continue. Richard.

Strange, I was only perusing ye olde information superhighway yesterday for Avengers Calendar news for next year, as it's about now it's usually announced.

No luck I'm afraid, but perhaps there'll be an announcement soon.

Sadly I think there will be no more calendars. :cry:
They are usually available before Sept. I've bought every one since they started back in 1998. I did have trouble finding the last one as so few of them were printed. I tracked one down months later on German ebay! So, it's the end of an era. Still, we have the new book to look forward to. Richard.

But jaz said last year that he has so many other pictures to use! He should know more about this! It would be very sad if there won't be any calendars! :-(

I loved the calendars; bought most of them, but didn't use them like I normally use a calendar - writing on them. They were too nice to write on.

Unfortunately there will be no Avengers calendar in 2011.

Slow Dazzle, who up until last year, had produced all of the calendars, no longer have the licensing rights with Studio Canal.

This for me is particularly disappointing as the 2011 calendar would have been the 50th Anniversary calendar and I had planned to cover all aspects of the series (including Stage Play, New Avengers, etc) in this one.

Sorry if this is disappointing news.

Many thanks

Jaz

Thanks for the news, Jaz. Sad as it is.

I did see this one coming Jaz. Very sad news. :( Is there any chance another company might produce calendars in future years, or is it too early to speculate? Rich.
