Ach, how can zis be?

I'll try and get creating at one point, though my total wiki contributions so far include additions to the Sinister Dexter article and creation of Union Jack (magazine). Both of which where pounced on by proper editors within a day or so and cleaned up heavily XD more…

Looking very cool. Now that i have a mobile that was made this side of the opening of the Millenium Dome and widespread use of the term "Information Superhighway" (how long as it been since you heard somebody say that?) i might have to check out this rok thing.

Also, "Little to work with"?? i think the longest panel description i've ev more…

Take as long as you need, we are just excited to see a long time Strip of ours given a fresh spin by a quality creator. Due to having no free time until I work out how to cut sleep out (where are the sleep machines we were promised!) My productivity has gone right down. Sucks not having time to draw. more…

Oh crikey! Didn't expect to see that. I've nearly finished pencilling the first page and expect it to start picking up the pace as I get 'into' the rythym of actually drawing again for a while. more…

I'm suprised you don't get a reply from Bristol - while i think their website is very badly done for such a big con they've always emailed me back pretty quickly. I'd say you'd be lucky to get a table thou as the exhibitor booking forums were posted out at the end of august/start of september. Thou never say never try dropping them an email again more…

I'm trying to tell myself it's just been taken out for the "christmas issue" and will be back in the new year. Hopefully. Then again that manga-like one with the cutsey creatures and the monster in the lake was pretty awful, i know there is FAR better stuff out there... not least High Maintenance, or perhaps even one of the original stories in Spac more…

I am not totally unsupportive of what you're trying to do, but you could at least have made the effort to spam our most recent post! Or better still maybe even email and ask whether this is something we'd like to promote/get involved with?

Also, that £10 "administration charge" is pretty suspect. Can Richmond really be so strapped for more…

I've always believed it was voluntary. Blimey, I've published dozens of comics over the past decade or so and I've never done that. I can't believe you have to do it, otherwise it gets ridiculous, with everyone who puts out a photocopied booklet having to deposit with the British Library. Madness, I tells ya! more…

PJ knows there are Tolkien demons emerging. There's a serious story behind 'Tolkien the Person'
To understand JRR Tolkien's work you need to start with his an understanding of his own childhood abuse.

Hopefully the Edinburgh and Cardiff libraries are only interested in Scottish and Welsh publications of which ours is neither.

The other two libraries are the Oxbridge ones, presumably this being one of their ancient rights similar to being allowed to eat swan and receive a stipend from the KGB. I will only send copies to them if legal more…

Hmm, i had heard about this, but i thought it was voluntary, and that you had to give them 5 copies (for places around the country, ie London, Edinburgh, Cardiff etc). Also that doing that then gave you an ISBN number and all the legal crap that goes with that (not least that the number would then have to go in each copy XD). But that page makes it more…

We hope to confirm our attendance at the Thing shortly. In fact I was at London Zoo today, looking at some giraffes in preparation for a possible anthology submission.

Issue 2 of Walking Wounded should be done as well, which will be nice. more…

Ah yes, Promethea. One day I will give that another go but I do have serious issues with Moore's "I'm a real magician" stuff of which Promethea is a prime example. more…

That's an interesting list, my good man - certainly surprising to see Terra Obscura on there. It's enjoyable enough, but surely Promethea is both technically and thematically stronger, by a long shot? Certainly, of the ABC oeuvre, if you give League honourable exclusion, Promethea is the crowning effort of that line, I think. (LXG is the most enjoy more…

Thanks for the feedback, Mike.

I definitely need the character to hate all officers and to be justified in doing so. However I also need to ensure that the viewpoint of the strip does not simply reflect the character's view. Bloody difficult!

Some more reflection is probalby called for, and maybe a viewing of some old Sha more…

Hmm, you could always have him lead by a cowardly officer who surrenders to the enemy to save himself (as they will interrogate him later) and leaves his men to be executed by a cackling villain. However the guy only gets wounded and as the enemy soldiers move in to finish him off a platoon led by a better officer moves in and rescues them. But tha more…

Loved the story, and i'm loving the footie strip too. I've been buying old Valiant, Victor, Hotspur etc annuals so it strikes a chord XD. It's a wee bit early yet but are you planning on going to the UK Webcomix Thing 2008? hopefully i'll be selling something there too... a "stuck in 1910" picture-story paper of the kind George Orwell was unenthusi more…
