Convention lag

After two consecultive weekends of conventions plus a cold and other issues I'm totally burnt out today but they were both great and I'll be blogging about them soon! For now, I need more sleep and then crack on with work. Will blog again soon! 

See you at Lawless!

Feeling rough with a bug I picked up last week so it's an early night for me because I'm having an early start to get to Bristol tomorrow for Lawless Comic Con!

I'll be doing sketches on request (£15 each), bringing along a few copies of Combat Colin and Derek the Troll, plus a couple of original art pages (£50 each). Hope to see you there!

New Doctor Who Magazine - sneak peek!

There's a new issue of the official Doctor Who Magazine out tomorrow so here's an advance glimpse at part of a panel from my latest Daft Dimension strip. This time the focus is on the 6th Doctor.

The mag will be packed as usual with all new features and interviews, plus the latest chapter of the 14th Doctor's exclusive adventure by Alan Barnes and Lee Sullivan.

Plus... a brand new feature with the Memory Worm! Here's my pencil rough of the creature. 

See the finished version in Doctor Who Magazine No.591, on sale from Thursday 25th May. Here's the cover to look out for, featuring new character Rose who will appear in the 14th Doctor specials this Autumn...

Frankendrac!

During my 16 years as a writer/artist on Toxic magazine I created a lot of villains and monsters for Team Toxic to deal with. One such was Frankendrac! Part reanimated corpse, part vampire, Frankendrac encountered Team Toxic numerous times. 

When I have time I'll dig out some Team Toxic strips and post them on this blog. 

The Dandy Summer Special is here!

The Summer Specials from DC Thomson are in the shops now and I've just picked up The Dandy Summer Special from WH Smith. Amongst its 68 pages are four Kid Cops reprints of pages I wrote/drew for The Dandy weekly between 2010 and 2012.

Although it would have been nice to have done new pages for the Special as I did in previous years, it's an honour to have my work reprinted alongside classics such as Desperate Dan by Charlie Grigg and Corporal Clott by Davey Law. 

Here's the cover to look out for, drawn by Wayne Thompson...  

Cover art by Wayne Thompson.

Brand new Kid Cops pages will appear in The Dandy Annual 2024, out this Autumn.
