Lobster Johnson meet Frog ...

Well Gary Crutchley suggested I have a go at Lobster Johnson, although I think he was meaning a head shot, so you can blame him for this one ... think I'll have to have a go at The Wolfmen next ... phew ...

Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ? has landed ....

... in the UK anyway .. and gets a mention over on
http://downthetubescomics.blogspot.com/

.... and they also mention that we are in talks with Gal Editora, a Brazilian comic publisher, about printing a Portuguese version ... that'll be cool.

Dr. Strange 2 ...

Still playing around with these little A5 efforts .... this one'll go to Rob too .. if he wants it.

It's in the shops ....

Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ? is now available in the UK stores.

If you can't find one and want to read it then can you please ask your local comic shop to order you a copy through Diamond. It'll help raise our numbers with Diamond and give our next book the best chance of them listing it.

Great to see the comic on the shelf in Millennium Comics in Nortwich. Thanks to Dan for ordering a good number of them.

The Shadow .... of his former self.

I was asked if I'd do a sketch of The Shadow for a collector of images of the character. I did it in my usual 'Strange Times' style, but used watercolour rather than computer colour it. It's an A5 piece ... on bristol board ... I enjoyed doing it as it's fun to try out more famous characters than Mr. Rock :o)

Dr. Strange doodle ... with watercolour ...

At conventions I've found myself stood next to a very busy Andy Bloor as he turns out his wonderful 'sketches' of the likes of Dr. Strange, Batman and .. well .. pretty much anyone the collector asks for and I think ... I wish I could do something like that ... maybe I should practice a style for 'convention sketches' ... well ... I've got a way to go yet but here's my first attempt ... not as whacky and freeflowing as I wanted it to be ... I really do need to loosen up a whole lot ...

Strange Times indeed ....

Another review of Strange Times has popped up on the net over at http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2010/strange-times-indeed/ ... which is nice ... I'm hoping to have book 2 done before 2015 though ... hopefully :o)

Best of 2009 ....

Jason has listed Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ? as his best comic of the year over on a report he did for Forbidden Planet. I've just come across it, skipping across blogs for the first time since Christmas ... I couldn't ask for a better start to the year. Thanks Jason.
