STAR JAWS #7

 

The new issue of Star Jaws is out now. 
I've a story in there called "My Troubles with Men". 
It also includes stories and art by Robin Barnard, Martin Hand and Andy Smith and is available from better comic shops! More info on Star Jaws can be found here.
Funnily enough, the cover and story is a riff on Star Wars Weekly #15, which is one of the first comics I remember reading back in Prehistoric Britain. I wrote about the comic here.

ZERO SUM BUBBLEGUM - proof copy


It's always exciting to get the proof copy of your latest comic, and today the postie has brought me Zero Sum Bubblegum.

A squarebound effort this time, with 60 pages. Since I sent off the files, I've completed another one pager, and one of the stories in here has become a trilogy (a trilogy consisting of three pages), so I'm going to swap those around. A few typos here and there and then I'll send off for the print run.

Approaching the finish line!
