Announcing Scoundrels, Scumbags and Schemers

 

It's finally here. The print anthology collecting all the comics I've collaborated on over the last couple of years, along with bonus concept art and behind the scenes stuff, is something you can now hold in your hands.

The whole package has been completed with some outstanding cover art from Flops, and it's so cool to see this motley crew of characters all huddle up into the same cover. As you can see, there's definitely a call back to the days of classic 2000ad and old dime store novels in it's production, and I'm really pleased how it's come out.

The comic contains One Hell of A Night, Precious Resources, Bigger Guns, A Perfect World and Damned Another Day. All tails of horror and suspense with ironic twists at the end. A big thanks to all the artists I worked with on this comic, and with it arriving just in time for Harrogate Thought Bubble, I'm hoping I'll be bringing them to a whole new audience.

Announcing An Illustrated Guide to Drinking Beer

 

After two years of living with the pandemic, folks are finally starting to (hopefully safely) venture back out into the world of British pubs. What better time then, for me to launch my recently finished comic book, An Illustrated Guide to Drinking Beer.

Beer, ale, stout, porter, bitter, pilsner, mild. To an outsider, the world of ales must appear more complex than a chemistry formula.

In this handy guide, the world of beer will be explained simply and easily, and provide a starting point for people of all tastes, as well as a deeper exploration for those already in the know.

Written after several years of frustration when it comes to the real ale community trying to promote itself, I've put together what I feel is a definitive take on how to get into ales when you're completely clueless, plus a little extra fun stuff for seasoned drinkers.

The comic is available for purchase digitally on my Gumroad page here.

Physical copies will always be sold at conventions, the most recent of which will be the West Coast Minicon on July 23rd. I'll also be getting in touch with distributors in the coming months, hoping to get the book into pubs, brewery stores and comic shops.

In about a month's time I'll be releasing an abridged version of the comic as a taster and mini-introduction for the whole experience.

Thanks for reading!

For The Max

This week I've finished working on a short comic about automated delivery systems, capitalism and the apocalypse. This story is called FOR THE MAX.

Announcing The Whitehaven Siege or The Many Tales of John Paul Jones' Attack On Whitehaven Harbor

So, it is with a great deal of pride and a little relief that I can finally announce that The Whitehaven Siege, my first self published comic book, is finally available to the world. It's a 24 page comic that covers one of Whitehaven's most notorious tales, that of the attack during the American War of Independence.

Hero, Pirate, Idealist, Criminal, Founder, Murderer, Revolutionary, Opportunist.

The stories about American naval founder John Paul Jones are as numerous as they are contradictory. None more so than the only US attack on British soil.

This comic takes a mirthful look at the tales told of that fateful night and tries to dissect the mythology behind the man.

The comic, being a very niche and local history, will only be on sale in Whitehaven itself to begin with. Most notably at The Beacon and The Rum Story. I'll of course be selling copies when I attend conventions, the most recent one will be next weekend at Carlisle Megacon. After that I'll be looking in to getting the comic stocked in comic shops around the border regions of Scotland and England.

If the comic proves popular, I'll then start looking to get copies available online further down the line.

Thanks for reading!
