Combat Colin No.1 has sold well since its launch at Macc-Pow! on 1st July. Stocks were running low so I've had a second printing done. The boxes turned up yesterday, and Stuart Gould at http://www.ukcomicscreative.co.uk has done another excellent job printing them. If you haven't ordered a copy yet and you'd like to, you can buy issue 1 directly from me at my online shop: http://lewstringer.com/page7.htm
Here's an advance preview of part of my comic strip for the next Doctor Who Magazine. Yes, it's the 13th Doctor in The Daft Dimension! I think this will be the first time the new Doctor will appear in a strip, albeit a spoof. Don't miss your collector's item Doctor Who Magazine (No.116) when it goes on sale next Thursday, 24th August!
I can now reveal another date for my convention calendar as Preston Comic Con have just announced me as a guest for their event. It takes place on Saturday 23rd September at the Guild Hall, Preston, and you can find out more info here: http://www.prestoncomiccon.co.uk
I have to point out that I did not draw the Beano cover shown on the advert. (It's by Nigel Parkinson.) I can only guess they used a Beano cover to grab people's attention.
