Lew Stringer said...: I'm not a member of that forum so I can't see it. Nice of Iain to say that though. I enjoyed working from his scripts on Super School and some Ivy the Terrible strips we collaborated on.

The big problem with writing a book is that it's months of unpaid work before publication (unless you get an advance from a publisher, which would be unlikely on such a niche subject). I just can't afford to do that unfortunately.; 26 September 2023 at 11:43

Thomson, Rebellion and many others, covering the comics field from originated characters to licensed properties, pre-school to adult on comics such as BUSTER, OINK!, BEANO, DANDY, TRANSFORMERS, SONIC THE COMIC, TOXIC, VIZ, CiTV TELLYTOTS, LEGO ADVENTURES, HERMAN HEDNING, SWEET FA, ACTION FORCE, SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN, RAMPAGE, LUCKY BAG COMIC, SWIFTSURE, WARLOCK, WHITE DWARF, ACES WEEKLY, THE DAREDEVILS, THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL, and many more.
