The 42nd Post

Well, that's it for another year.

It's been strange one that has had more ups than downs and so pretty good when looking back.
Let's hope Brexit works as a lot of people expect it to, rather than some fear it will.

From an Accent UK perspective we've produced less books this year, but have been busier on Kickstarter with -

Has Kane Mesmer Lost His Magic Touch? Written by myself with art from Marleen Lowe
Return To The Asylum with contributions from myself, Colin and Gary amongst many other talented individuals - this also saw Stephenson's Robot Issue 5 as a reward tier.
I Before E except after W, that's weird. A book of collage illustrated short stories from myself.

No WesterNoir this year as we've focussed on trying to sell enough of the TPB and Issues 5 to 8 to make room for the next ones. Gary has been busy in the background however and is busy illustrating the next book.

Kia Wordsmith issue 2 didn't quite make it but hopefully we'll see issue 2 early in 2020.

Stephenson's Robot issue 6 is near completion, all art is in I'm just colouring the main story and Matt Soffe is working his usual magic on the back story.

We are already pulling together stories for the next Asylum Book and it's coming along very nicely.

WesterNoir will see a new publication in the second half of the year if all goes to pain, more news on that later.

...and there will no doubt be some surprises along the way as other long term projects see completion.


Thanks to everyone who stopped by our tables at Cons or supported us through Kickstarter (or, as turns out to be the case) sometimes both. Also thanks to all our co-creators who we bump into at the UK Cons and abroad for their good humour and inspiration.

All the best to everyone for 2020.
