One of the best things to happen to the British comics scene in quite a while was the advent of the new Small Press section in Judge Dredd Megazine. Although there was some controversy at the start, mostly due to the fact that the creators featured are not paid for their work to appear, the slot has proved to be pretty successful.
My favourite strips so far are the sublime mime Mr Amperduke by Irish comics pioneer Bob Byrne and the sleek, polished fun of Monsters from animator/writer/artist Ian Culbard. Each a gem.
Naturally we tried our hand at submitting for the gig, but perhaps not quite as naturally, our offer was accepted! A 6-page tale featuring our Edwardian Paranormal Investigators, Holt Bros, with, as you may expect, script by myself and art from Steve. No idea when it's going to be published, but it's pretty exciting waiting for our turn to come around.
Messrs Byrne and Culbard have kindly put their Meg strips online and we'll follow suit after the story has seen print. I'm really keen for people to read it in the comic if at all possible though and that's why I've shown the completed story to practically no one yet, not even my wife!
I figure that this may be my only work that ever appears in "2000AD" and I'm going to milk it for all its' worth...
