Bulldog Freebies

For World Book Day UK comic writer Jason Cobley has made all his ebooks free, including The Greatest Adventures Of Captain Winston Bulldog, The Extraordinary Exploits Of Captain Winson Bulldog, and Bulldog Clips.

I've always had a bit of a softspot for Captain Bulldog as the Bulldog Adventures Magazine was the first small press comic I ever brought (way back in the nineties!).  There's some mighty fine creators involved in these comics, and you'll find the likes of Garen Ewing (of Rainbow Orchid fame), PJ Holden (2000ad regular), Neill Cameron (highly popular artist for The Phoenix) and there's also a few contributions from myself and Paul Harrison Davies (my Bunk Mates and Hoodied Horror collaborations with Paul appear inside Bulldog Clips).

Anyway, enough waffle from me!  They may not be free for long, so pop along to Lulu and start downloading them now!

Accent UK Western Anthology

I received my contributors copy of Accent UK's latest anthology 'Western' a few weeks back and it's a terrific read. You can find my review of the comic on Down The Tubes here.

I was lucky enough to 'sneak in the back door' a get a strip in there myself this time, thanks to Paul Harrison-Davies who was in need of a script. His only specifications were that it should be six pages long, silent, three panels a page, a done in a widescreen movie style.

Having searched through my fifty or so notepads of ideas I stumbled upon one from five years back, involving a lone cowboy finding a jewel encrusted boot, only to have its owner show up clad in the other boot and seeking revenge against the thief. I adapted the idea a little (as it was intended as a TV sketch), and changed the evil one-booted cowboy to an evil one-booted cowboy zombie at the very last second (it's only a shame that I didn't manage to fit an Elvis cameo in there somewhere).

I've also got a strip scheduled to appear in Accent UK's next anthology - Predators. So look out for 'The Exterminator' by myself and Tony Suleri next year.

Also, look out for the upcoming Accent UK Feature in the next issue of the Temple Digital Showcase, which'll contain previews from many of their anthologies and some of Accent UK's upcoming projects. The issue should be out at the end of June.

If you're going along to the Bristol comics convention, seek out the Accent UK table and pick up one of their mighty fine comics, or order them online here.

Toxic Comic Out Now!

Issue 137 of Toxic is out in the shops now, and comes with a free 'Crazy Comics' supplement.

In the back pages of the supplement you'll find a one page strip by myself and Paul Harrison-Davies, titled 'The Hoaxers'. It's about a child operated cover-up agency, that's funded by the government to hide all the bizarre goings on around england.

There's the chance to vote online for your favourite strip (there's nine to choose from, some of which are by some bloody talented chaps indeed!) at: http://www.toxicmag.co.uk/vote

The strip with the most votes may get a series out of it.

Anyway, I thought now might be a good time to share some of Paul's early Hoaxers concept sketches.

Toxic comic supplement

As Down the Tubes has recently reported, issue 137 of Toxic comic will have a 16 page comic supplement bundled with it, filled to the brim with brand new comic strips from a host of UK creators.

I'm fortunate enough to be one of those creators, and have a one pager titled 'Hoaxers' going in there. It's illustrated by the highly talented Paul Harrison-Davies (who I'm also working with on Bunk Mates for Bulletproof comics, and a whole host of other projects).

There's a lot of terrific artists and writers appearing in the supplement, including John Freeman, Laura Howell, Lew Stringer and Jamie Smart (creator of the superb Fish-head Steve for DFC comics).

So, come April 1st, nip along to WHSmiths or one of them newsagenty type places and pick up a copy!
