Upcoming plans

I was intending to self-publish a new comic this month but the postal strikes have made it pointless as orders would be held up in a backlog. Much as I appreciate why the strikes need to take place it's really damaging for small businesses.

However, I still intend to publish a digital comic before Christmas! At least digital publications don't get stuck in a warehouse somewhere for days on end. You'll remember that a couple of years ago I published Barmy Comix No.1 as a digital-only comic? Well, soon I'll be unleashing Barmy Comix No.2!  

As with issue one, Barmy Comix No.2 will never appear in print, only as a digital download. Unlike issue one, which featured Combat Colin, Brickman, Derek the Troll and Pedantic Stan, Barmy Comix No.2 will feature a different character from my archives. More info soon! 

In the meantime, if you still haven't read the first issue of Barmy Comix it's still available to download wherever you are. More info here:

If you enjoy it (as I hope you will) please send me £2 via PayPal to lew.stringer@BTopenworld.com

Thanks!

Barmy News

If you missed your chance to download Barmy Comix No.1 it's still available! Exclusively digital only, Barmy Comix is a 32 page high definition compilation I put together during lockdown two years ago. It features some "best bits" of Combat Colin, Brickman, Derek the Troll and Pedantic Stan, plus a 9 page preview of Combat Colin No.5. 

It should download to any device anywhere in the world. It's best read on a desktop or laptop but you can also access it on a smartphone where you can zoom in on the artwork. 

You can download it from this link:

It's free to download but I really would appreciate a donation of £2 when you've read it, or maybe just because you enjoy this blog and my work? You can donate to me via PayPal at this link:

Thanks in advance!

Now, I can tell you there will be a Barmy Comix No.2 at some point. The contents will be different to the first issue and the focus will be on a different character. More news when it's ready!

NEW! Download your BARMY COMIX!

Comic shops shut? Comic cons cancelled? Postal services delayed? Need a comic to read? Fear not, because you can still read comics digitally, and Barmy Comix is ready for you to download as a PDF!

I'd intended to have Combat Colin No.5 out in print by now but due to the Coronavirus crisis I've put that on hold for a few months. Instead, I thought I'd create Barmy Comix No.1, a one-off 32 page compilation of a few of my creator-owned strips from over the years.

It features Combat Colin, Brickman, Derek the Troll, and Pedantic Stan, the Comics Fan... PLUS a 9 page preview of Combat Colin No.5! So at least you'll have a quarter of the postponed issue of Combat Colin plus a few "best bits" thrown in!

Without further ado, here's the link to download Barmy Comix No.1. It might take a few minutes (compressing the files tended to downgrade them too much so I avoided that). If you have any problems with it let me know...

UPDATE 2025: As many people were downloading the comic without paying, I've now moved it to my KoFi shop where it's only available for a nominal £3.
