Christmas is coming

I sent off my pages for the Christmas Team Toxic story in the early hours of this morning. I'll show more nearer to when it's published in Toxic No.264 on December 2nd but for now here's a close up of part of a panel.  

Satanist Scares

I was at the MCM London Comic Con on Saturday (read my review on my other blog by clicking here) and I was very pleased to see that Time Bomb Comics had launched their new 92 page book, Bomb Scares 2015. Not only is it a packed anthology of all-new horror comic stories by some great talent, it also features three pages of The Suburban Satanists by me. This is a different set of strips to those that appear in my new Brickman Returns comic, and these strips won't be appearing in next year's Suburban Satanists comic either, so to see them treat yourself to Bomb Scares!

See you this Saturday?

I know this is late notice but I'll be at the MCM London Comic Con this Saturday, 24th October, at the Excell, London. You'll find me either at the Doctor Who Magazine table or the Panini/Marvel tables, so drop by for a chat and a sketch. I'll also have copies of Brickman Returns on me so if you haven't bought one yet, now's your chance. 

I'll only be there on the Saturday, but the event runs across the whole weekend. Here's the official website:

Comic horrors!

There's a new issue of Toxic out tomorrow (21st October) and my Team Toxic strip has a suitably spooky theme. The Team investigate a haunted house and encounter one of their oldest foes; Frankendrac! 

It's been a long time since I've used Frankendrac as a villain in the strip so I'm sure some readers will be seeing him for the first time. Dare you enter the Haunted House of Horrible Horrors in Toxic No.262 this week? On sale Wednesday 21st October from newsagents and supermarkets.

Like most children's comics these days, Toxic comes bagged with gifts. In this case, a slingshot, stickers, and sweets. Here's the bag to look out for...

A date for your diaries

The Birmingham Comics Festival has just announced its first wave of guests for 2016 and I'm very pleased to be on the list. The one-day event will take place at the Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham on Saturday 23rd April.

The other first guests announced are Areil Olivetti, Luca Pizzari, and Leigh Gallagher, so I'm in fine company already. To find out more about this great event, check out the official website here:

I will of course be posting more updates over the coming months, as well as news of other events I'll be attending in 2016.

Brickman at the Lakes

I won't be at the Lakes International Comic Art Festival this weekend but Brickman will! Thanks to my good Beano pal Nigel Parkinson, there'll be copies of Brickman Returns available to buy from the table he'll be at with his colourist Nika Narkova. Drop by and buy! - And have a chat with Nigel and Nika too of course! 

Here's what Nigel said about Brickman Returns on his blog:
