NEW! Liverpool Heartbeat Magazine!

There's a brand new children's magazine available now featuring strips and features. Edited by Tim Quinn (who has long experience in comics as an editor and writer), Liverpool Heartbeat Magazine is a full colour 48 page A4 publication primarily aimed at instilling a love of reading and writing in the young people of Merseyside. 

Contributors to the mag include Nigel Parkinson, Russ Leach, Holly Bushnell, and me! Plus stories, drawings, and news reports by the schoolchildren of Liverpool... and a special previously unpublished message from the late great Stan Lee! Plus an interview with Eddie Izzard! All in all it's a very positive magazine and we all need that right now!

From a script by Tim Quinn, I've drawn a full page strip called Bird's Eye View, featuring Askey and Dodd, the famous Liver Birds that look out over Liverpool from the top of the Liver building. Who knew that while they're up there, Dodd is regailing Askey with some tall tales? The first of which takes us back to the height of Beatlemania, Daleks, and screaming teenagers! 

The plan is to do three issues this year. Liverpool Heartbeat Magazine isn't confined to Merseyside though. While the postal service is still operating you can order it by mail wherever you live for just £3 at www.liverpoolheartbeat.com.

Finally, a note from Tim Quinn:
"Also be sure to hop on board our new LIVERPOOL HEARTBEAT COMIC MAGAZINE Facebook page where we will be uploading fun features for parents and children at home during this international crisis." All details over at:
