New British Comics 2

The second issue of New British Comics, an anthology published in both English and Polish, is out now to buy.

As well as featuring Spare Parts by myself and Tony Suleri (a jolly old romp through the sewers with severed limbs and cannibals aplenty!), there's a whole wealth of other comic strips and cartoons by some rather talented chaps and chapesses, including Dave Thomson, David Robertson, Paul O' Connell and Leonie O' Moore. It's 84 pages in size, comes under a terrificly English colour cover by Nelson Evergreen, and is rather marvellous stuff indeed!

Editor Karol Wisniewski had done a fine job of assembling the issue, and there's very few weak strips and plenty of black comedy which certainly kept me amused.

Futurequake 11 Available at BICS

The latest issue of the twice Eagle Award nominated Futurequake will be available to buy at the BICS convention this weekend. Preview images can be viewed on the messageboard of the website at http://www.futurequake.co.uk/ and comics can also be purchased online.

One of my favourite collaborations with Tony Suleri appears inside this issue; Spare Parts (a tale about a scavenger who gets a little more than he bargained for when he ventures into the sewers). There's also a second offering from myself and Tony inside, titled 'Waste Of Time' - a cautionary tale about the hazards of using the past as a third-world dumping ground for all mankinds rubbish.

So pick up the comic if you get the chance. It's got zombies, pirates, cannibals, aliens and gunfire in it! What more motivation do you need?
