My Anthology Cover & Name

The first anthology by ME is cruising stylishly towards completion. I am pleased to announce the title of this collection of comic strips will be... KILLER BYTES. Here's a sneak preview of the cover (work in progress)

With my fondness for horror and my association with Hallowscream I'd always assumed by first comic book would be a horror anthology, which I'd been planning on naming Terror Bytes. It turns out that what I have written is a mix of horror, sci-fi, historical and comedy stories! Terror didn't quite sum it up but I think Killer I can get away with. I almost went for Killa Bytes but I'm far to nerdy to get away with a title as street as that!

My Anthology

Here's a work-in-progress preview picture for my upcoming anthology. Yes, that's correct, I'm currently compiling the pages for a new collection of stories that I've had printed in other comics over the last 4 years.

It's a clear sign of how awesome the indie comics scene is here in the UK, that I've been able to collect 36 pages of comic strips, which I have written, that have been drawn and lettered FOR FREE by fellow comic book enthusiasts. Very cool indeed.

I'm still unsure on the title of the comic but hopefully it'll be completed later this year so I can take it to sell at a few comic conventions.

God takes care of his own

Another story from the Hallowscream archives, 'God takes care of his own' appeared in the 8th issue launched October31st  2016. This story was drawn by Glenn McPartlin who got in touch with me early last year and offered his artistic services.

Latest Update #3

Just a quick update to keep the blog ticking over:

• London Rocks is totally finished and has been fast-tracked through to the latest Futurequake, which is being printed this month. Really proud of this story. V excited!
• The Passenger has been accepted for Sliced Quarterly a neat experimental indie anthology. Editor Ken Reynolds is going to re-letter it which I'm excited about. Should make it a stronger piece.
• Half way through the art for Cunt Dracula 2
• In the most exciting news, I've complied the insides for my first comic anthology, which I'll hopefully be launching later this year. With a current working title of Danger Geek - Volume 1, this is a collection of stories that I've had featured in other small press anthologies. Clocking in at 36 pages it contains the 10 best stories I've written over the last 5 years. I intend to get this printed and take it on tour. 

I'll keep you updated on these as and when they develop.
