  • @Son_of_Magnus: There actually already is a comic of it...just not me doing it. Go check it out! ;)  @danhimself: Yeah, wouldn't have been my choice. Ah well.  @Emperor Gonzo Noir: Cheers! Not trying to compete though. In many ways am glad I didn't get to do it as it would have been a big commitment.

  •  Found these the other day, looking through my archives for stuff needed for another project...seems a shame for no one to *ever* see them, so here they are. Awhile ago, I got asked to do up some samples to see if the famous Philip K Dick story, Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep could be adapted into comics form. For various reasons it was not to be, with me, though. ...

  •  This year, you pretty much won't be able to escape me. In addition to all these dates for CHOKER #1 and #2, I'll also be around Chicago for C2E2 as well as NYCC and Heroes Con down in North Carolina. And of course, the big one, SDCC.If the alcohol consumption, travel schedule and lack of sleep don't kill me...I'm going to assume it'll all have been worth it! Huge thanks ...

  •  Here's the CHOKER #3 cover in all it's glory. Yes, I have a ton of progress shots and commentary, but they'll be in the back of the actual book before anywhere else. Remember, being a smaller indie book, you have to make sure your friendly local comics retailer is going to order a copy or two in. Tell em you want one and that it's order code is: FEB10 0391And ...

  • If you're ever wondering where some of the bigger pieces of original art I do go, ( I  get a bunch of queries so hopefully this takes care of a few in the future, ) like covers and stuff as much as the regular comic pages, all the WFH ( Work For Hire ) things generally get sent ( eventually, heh, as I am slow at mailing complex packages! ) ...

  • @Pope of the Church of Gaiman:  Only do that once I'm actually dead. But buy them before I die as the books will be cheaper.

  • 2010, you are one big bloody tease. Teasing me with death in car accidents.Teasing me with acting roles I cannot take.Teasing me with some bloody nice numbers for CHOKER #1 ( Cheers all! )And that's not even covering the interesting Hollywood type stuff that is potentially going on that obviously, I'm not saying anything about here. So, probably one of the weirdest weeks of my life. ( We're going to ...

  • Am told there's new Wormwood books up online for the Sony PSP today. Among them, the ONLY book you should get first...if you've never tried Wormy... THE TASTER. I'd wanted it to be free for new readers but apparently that's wishful thinking on my part as the creator I guess. It's .99 cents, which is still cheap. Give it a go and see if you like the madness. There's 3 ...

  • A little something... Wormwood. Oh yeah, apparently I'm twitter famous now.Apparently my twitter is noteworthy enough to get a write up in a new twitter directory print magazine ( which seems a little oddly backwards to me but hey, it's nice to be included ). Just had to share some pics of it. Cheers to whoever it was that thought I was worthy enough to be included. If I'm a ...

  • Well, I didn't see this coming but as of right now, my wee little book Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse is the number one comic on the new Sony PSP Comics thing. Both on the UK store *and* the US store. These are stores that have all the usual big, licensed properties too, you know, Marvel stuff, 200ad and what not. So consider me blown away. Cheers to anyone who bought it!Got ...

  • Not all the dates/events are final yet. Mostly though, am looking at adding even more. The things I do to help give CHOKER, the new comic mini from Ben McCool and I a push! I'm not going to be home much at all Feb-May it seems. Yes, I am insane. By hey, it means you might get a book signed and have a chat and I'll get alcohol poisoning somewhere ...

  • @the creator: I'm bound to be at one if not both of the MCM Expos in London, and Thought Bubble this year with luck.  @Emperor Gonzo Noir: Wormwood will return eventually. The hold up definitely *isn't* because I don't want to do anymore...couldn't be further from the truth!
