In the rest of the mag there's the 15th Doctor's battle with the Daleks in the main comic strip, plus loads of features and interviews. Doctor Who Magazine No.627. Don't miss it!
It was great to catch up with friends in the business such as Mike Perkins, David Leach, Rachael Smith, Nigel Parkinson, Ben Cullis, Steve Bull, Lee Townsend, Jenika Ioffreda, and many more. Also good to chat to so many people who stopped by my table (and thanks to all of you who bought art, sketches, and comics).
With comics creators Rachael Smith and David Leach.
As always at Showmasters events there were lots of actors there too, including a considerable number who have been involved with Doctor Who including Ncuti Gatwa, Millie Gibson, Katy Manning, Colin Baker, Sophia Myles and more. It was a privilege on Saturday to be on a panel with famed Doctor Who producer and writer Philip Hinchcliffe who'd worked on the popular Tom Baker years.
Health wise, I was totally drained by the end of the show and after returning home on Sunday night I slept most of the next day, but I'm so glad I attended and wouldn't change a thing.
Here's to the next convention!

A 32 page comic (including covers) on quality paper, it collects the Brickman strips from the mid-1990s plus the Combat Colin story Prisoners of the Place of No Return that fits into the continuity, and an epilogue from 2005.
There are also a couple of related articles as a bonus, and of course brand new cover art.
Full colour covers, black and white interiors. Mature Readers only.
I'll also be bringing some to the London Comic Con this weekend (Feb 28th to March 1st) at Olympia.
Remember, these comics are not available from shops or from any other seller. Only directly from me.

If you're interested in bidding, the auction ends tomorrow evening (Sunday 22nd Feb). Good luck!
Cut to many years later, in 2020, and Rebellion were putting together an all new Battle special. Editor Keith Richardson asked me if I had a humour strip I could contribute and I suggested ol' Specky. I coloured the strip and I was very pround to be part of that excellent publication.
I thought you might like to see the strip (above). A couple of friends of mine now own the original artwork.
I'll post more info nearer the event, and you can also check out their website at https://maccpow.co.uk/ or the official Facebook page at:

This week I'm completing work on Brickman No.2 which I hope will be ready in time for the London Comic Con at the end of this month. Most of the interior pages are done, and I'm currently colouring the cover after scanning my art into Photoshop. This issue collects the Brickman stories from the mid-1990s.
I still work traditionally, hand drawing the art, then I colour it in Photoshop. Text pages are also done with software of course. Absolutely no A.I., Chatgpt, or any of that codswallop are used.
If all goes well, I'll post an update about the comic in a few weeks!
