Macc-Pow! - a festival dedicated entirely to comics and it's free to enter!

 

It's MACC-POW! this Saturday!

I'm looking forward to going to Macc-Pow! this Saturday as one of my favourite comics event returns to Macclesfield Town Hall on July 2nd after three long years. Other guests are: Tor Freeman, Rachael Smith, Nick Brokenshire, Sean Phillips, Jacob Phillips, Laura Howell, Charlie Adlard, Roger Langridge, Sayra Begum, Charlot Kristenson, Sonia Leong, Tim Quinn, Dicky Howett, Iman, Jim Smith, Emmeline Pidgen, and Asya Voitenko. Quite a list! (Update: Unfortunately Rachael is unable to attend now.)

I'll be doing sketches on request, and selling my comics Derek the Troll and Combat Colin Nos.2 and 3. I might even bring along a couple of original pages to sell, depending on what I can find and if there's room in my luggage. 

Hope to see you there! http://maccpow.co.uk/

FANSCENE ends with two spectacular issues

 The final two issues of David Hathaway-Price's superb digital fanzine FANSCENE are available to download now. This time they focus on the old 'zine Fantasy Advertiser, with artwork, interviews, articles and memories from many of the people who were involved in comics fandom back then. (Including my recollections of when I was a regular contributor to FA with my Back to Blighty / Best of British artilcles.)

David has done an incredible job compiling these fanzines, which serve as an essential record of those bygone days for future generations. If you want to learn about (or recollect) those days (and presumably anyone interested in comics history will) then you can download the zines for free at this link...

Cor!! Buster! Have you grabbed it yet?

A reminder that the *official* revival of Buster and other classic characters is still available from the publisher's web shop. Accept no imitations. 

 

This was a pleasure to draw, reviving Buster and Co. after so many years, with scripts by John Freeman. The book also contains many other strips by other creators bringing back the classic characters for the 21st Century.

Upcoming conventions...

All being well, health and rail strikes permitting, I'll be at these comics conventions over two consecutive weekends...

Next Saturday (2nd July) I'll be at Macc-Pow! one of my favourite shows, which returns to Macclesfield Town Hall after three years of being an online event. Organised by the ever-enthusiastic Marc Jackson (a brilliant cartoonist in his own right) it's a free event for all the family. I'll be sketching and signing, and bringing along Combat Colin Nos.2 and 3, Derek the Troll, and maybe some other bits and bobs. Other guests include Laura Howell, Sonia Leong, Rachael Smith, Tim Quinn, Dicky Howett, Charlie Adlard and many more!

The weekend after that, from Friday 8th July to Sunday 10th July, I'll be returning to Olympia in Kensington for the massive three-day London Film and Comic Con. There's a huge guest list of nearly 50 comics guests including Dave Gibbons, David Leach, Rachael Smith, Nigel Parkinson, Jessica Martin, John Freeman, Mike Collins, Ian Richardson, John Higgins and many more! (Plus a load of guests from film and TV too including Marina Sirtis, Martin Shaw, Sophie Aldred, and many others).

Hope to see you there! 

 

No News is No News

As some have asked about the next Combat Colin comic...

I'm afraid I still don't know when issue 5 will be published, or the reprints of issues 1 and 4. It still depends on finances and personal health, and the necessity to put mainstream comics work before self-publishing.

I know some suggested crowdfunding, but I'm not doing that.

As I've said before, when there is any new developments it'll be announced here and everywhere else where I have a social media prescence. You won't miss it when it is announced.  

It will happen but I've no idea when. Sorry.
