Combat Colin's anniversary

The first Combat Colin strip from 1987.

 

It's 36 years this week since Combat Colin first appeared in print, in Marvel's Action Force comic back in 1987. He's still my favourite creation (although as always I must mention that it was Steve White who came up with the name). In recent years I've collected the Combat Colin strips into a series of comics and I still hope to continue with that at some point but it depends on a number of factors at present.

New Daftness this week!

There's a new issue of the official Doctor Who Magazine out tomorrow (Thursday) and amongst its packed pages of interviews and articles is another Daft Dimension comic strip from me. (I've blanked out the dialogue in this preview to avoid spoilers.)

There's also Part 6 of the main comic strip, Legacy of the Daleks, exclusively featuring the 14th Doctor by Alan Barnes, Lee Sullivan, James Olfredi and Roger Langridge. 

Doctor Who Magazine No.589, on sale from WH Smiths, supermarkets, comic shops and some newsagents, or you can buy it directly from the publisher at this link:

Photos from Comic Day in Liverpool

Some images from Comic Day in Liverpol on Saturday 25th March at the Plaza Cinema. Photos taken by old friend Roy.

Beano artist Nigel Parkinson and myself being interviewed by event host Tim Quinn. 

It really was a fantastic day with a great atmosphere. Tim proved to be the perfect host with his sharp wit, knowledge of comics, and experienced presentation skills. It was brilliant to catch up with comics pals Leigh Gallagher, Charlie Adlard, Shane Chebsey, Nigel Parkinson, Nika Nartova, Jason Quinn, Alan Cowsill, Dicky Howett and more. Thanks also to all the friendly locals who dropped by for a sketch and a chat. A good day was had by all.

My next event will be the Sonic the Comic Con in York on 20th May.
