Grab a BRICKMAN comic for Christmas!

Just as a reminder in case you missed the posts a few months ago, this year I published Brickman No.1, the first of a three issue mini-series that will collect the best of Brickman strips of the past. 

Issue 1 is a reprint of the Brickman special that Harrier Comics published way back in 1986, and includes guest pages by Dave Gibbons, Kevin O'Neill, Mike Higgs, Mike Collins and Mark Farmer. 

The story was also included in the Brickman Begins digest-sized trade paperback published by Active Images 20 years ago,but this is the first time it's appeared full size since 1986 (and on nice silk finish paper too).

I still have quite a few left so if you want to experience the crazy world of the Daft Knight and his adventures in Guffon City (yes, it's a Batman parody) order a copy today and I'll get it in the post...

COMICS! Grab 'em while you can!

I don't have any other conventions scheduled for this year yet, so if you've been thinking of buying any of my comics, getting them directly from me via mail order is the only option.

These comics are not available in the shops and quantities are limited. 

Currently in stock are Combat Colin issues 3, 4, and 5, Fanzine Funnies, and the new printing of Brickman No.1. Only available from me at this link:

More info and interior images at the link.

There are also three digital comics to buy as PDF downloads: Tough Guy, Barmy Comix, and Derek the Troll. Also available at the same link. 

Comics in stock!

 

I never do Kickstarters or "pre-orders" so you know that when I advertise my comics they're available and ready to post, and I'll never say they're available when they're not.

At the moment, the comics of mine that you can buy are Brickman No.1, Fanzine Funnies, and Combat Colin issues 3,4, and 5. They are only available to buy directly from me at the link below:

Brick-tastic response!

A big thank you to those of you who swiftly ordered copies of Brickman No.1. (See previous post for more info.) I've practically sold out of the ones from my online store in 24 hours!

However, don't worry if my KoFi shop is out of stock. I'm having another 100 printed right now and they should be with me next week. Also, I'm taking some to the Macc-Pow comic festival this Saturday (28th June) and also to the London Comic Festival at Olympia on July 5th/6th if you want to buy them from my tables there.

BRICKMAN revisited! Out now!

Something new for convention season. My oldest character Brickman is back again in the first of a three issue mini series that collects the Best of Brickman! 

I'm not reprinting the very early stuff from 1979 or the early 1980s as I consider those too crudely drawn so we kick off in 1986 with the three pager from Swiftsure No.6, followed by the 20 page Brickmania Caper from the Brickman special originally published by Harrier Comics back then.

That includes the guest pages that were part of the story so there's wonderful work by Dave Gibbons, Kevin O'Neill, Mike Collins (inked by Mark Farmer), plus a Brickman and The Cloak pin up by Mike Higgs!

The stories were previously reprinted in the digest-sized Brickman Begins book 20 years ago, published by Active Images, but that's out of print now so I thought I'd re-present them in this format which is the size of an American comic. 

You'll notice it's labelled 'for Mature Readers'. Brickman was never aimed at children, although some kids did buy it. My inspiration for Brickman was Monty Python and the Airplane movies rather than the Beano. However, by 2025 sensibilities have changed and some jokes about body shaming, sexism, and images of bricks walloping into heads might not sit well with some parents. No nudity or bad language though! (Unless you regard "pillock" as bad language, in which case just buy the Daily Mail instead.) 

Brickman No.1, 28 pages (inluding covers), available from my table at Macc-Pow comics festival on Saturday 28th June (Macclesfield Town Hall), London Comic Festival (part of London Film and Comic Con) on July 5th/6th (Olympia, Kensington), or you can buy it from me via mail order from this link and it'll be posted first class:
