Back At It

It's time, I have decided, to set up shop again and return to the blogging world. It's been a while, I'll admit, since I last posted in September 2014, but it's time to get back at it. There's plenty more to write about and hopefully you'll all enjoy the posts to come.

Whilst I'm making announcements, I shall mention that recently I completed issue #3 of Atomic Comic. This one is available, for the first time ever, as a print copy, for $10 NZD. A digital copy is also available for $5. More info can be found here:

Anyway, that's that. The blog will hopefully be running just as it used to, regular updates on comics old and new. If there's anything in particular you'd like me to cover, let me know.

Atomic Comic Issue Two

You may have already spotted the image on the right of this blog but for those who didn't, issue two of Atomic Comic is out now, and just like issue one, is completely free!

Issue two features interviews with Jamie Smart and Séan Baldwin, as well as a guest article entitled The Changing Face of Dennis the Menace written by Will Barber - Taylor.

If you'd like to read it, click on the link below!

Also out now is Harry Hill in Bubbles, which shows how a comic script is written and then the finished result. The script was written by Séan Baldwin and drawn by Nigel Parkinson, and I put it together as a spin-off from Atomic Comic. If you'd like to see it, click on the below link!

Atomic Comic Is Launched

Today the first issue of Atomic Comic is released, the fanzine Harry Rickard and I have been working on for almost a year. It was put on the 'indefinite hiatus' back in April due to exams and was only picked up again in December because I was reading about other comic fanzines from years past somewhere (can't remember where now).

Anyway, the front cover is above, and yes - it is 100% free! It is published through Issuu, which is a free digital publishing company and is a chunky 36 pages (originally going to be 32, but we put it up at the last minute)!

Admittedly, there are a few spelling mistakes in the fanzine, but even though I read and re-read it a dozen times they still managed to slip through!

Despite that though, I hope you enjoy it. I've worked pretty hard over the past few weeks getting this issue ready for January, so am pretty chuffed I managed it!

You can read the fanzine here:

Atomic Comic!

Exciting news! Me and Harry Rickard have teamed up to create a comic fanzine called Atomic Comic! Issue one will be released in Febuary (online only at the moment - we 'aint rich enough to put it in the shops!), and will be released monthly from there! I'm very excited about the project - and we've already built up a little bit of interest amongst comic enthusiasts! We have recieved permission to use images from most companies, but Egmont sadly gave us a stern "No." - which means no Buster, Whizzer and Chips or any other fleetway funnies.

You can follow us to recieve regular(ish) updates on the magazine either on facebook:

P.S. The cover shown above was a first draft, we have since changed the date (and the year!), and a few other bits and pieces! Also, the price is yet to be confirmed.
