Strip #4 Out Now for ipad

Issue 4 of STRIP Magazine, containing me, Stu Smith and Dave Thomson's Slayer Keith comic strip, is on sale now as a digital edition for iPad.

Fronted by a Warpaint cover by John McCrea, the digital edition features all the content of the print edition (on sale soon in all good UK comic shops), plus a couple of 'bonus items'.

Strips in the latest action-packed issue include Warpaint by Phil Hester and John McCrea, the start of a brand-new Age of Heroes story by James Hudnall, John Ridgway and The Devil's Heritage by Jerome Felix and Paul Gastine.

In Black Ops Extreme (by John Freeman and PJ Holden) the combat team head for the Middle East to sabotage an illegal nuclear bomb factory. Meanwhile, Hook Jaw continues to eat his way through greedy oil men.

The issue also contains Cosmic Patrol, Bogey-Man Bob and various articles of intrigue.

Slayer Keith Rides To Victory!

I've just had word from John Freeman that Slayer Keith, a collaboration between myself, Dave Thomson and Stu Smith, will be appearing in issue 4 of Strip (a brand new monthly adventure comic for children and young adults).

I think none of us are more thrilled than Stu Smith, whose main involvement was to eat cheese, have a weird dream, and record it in the following illustration which inspired the comic strip.


So let this be a lesson to you, people! If you wish to get anywhere in life as an artist you must eat more cheese, and sleep whenever possible.

Strip comic is available to buy from iTunes at £2.99, and can also be purchased in many UK comic stores. Learn more about Strip here:

Temple Homeless Again

Once again, a social network site which we've joined has decided to close its doors to free users.

Commencing on January 1st, the Temple Socialgo site will stop functioning. If we haven't found a new home by then, watch this space as I'll put up an announcement once me and Malcolm Kirk have sorted the problem out.

Blasted Capitalist Social Site rascals!

Not A Lot On iTunes

You can now download my pub-time collaboration with F.J.Riley from iTunes for free, where it appears to be doing rather well in the charts.

Reviews have been mixed at best, ranging from: 'A happy pile of nonsense' to 'Disappointingly rubbish!'

Still, if you're looking for completely 100% accurate facts which we didn't at all make up whilst under the influence of alcohol, then this is the one for you!

Just hop along to the iTunes store with your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, type my name into the search engine and get downloading.

Myself and F.J.Riley are currently working on the sequel, which we've cunningly titled 'Not A Lot Of People Know That 2'
