`My back, my back!...'I'm back, I'm back!'
After a brief hiatus (due to recovering from a recurring back injury) I'm back on the blog with some wonderful, amazing, nay 'Unbelievable' news!
These are exciting times for me, not only am I involved in a myriad of projects (which I'll tell you about later on in this blog) but my graphic novel Unbelievable: The Man Who Ate Daffodils is due to be published soon (just 51 days to go) and is available for pre-order now!
Here are the details!
Diamond Previews #275 Page 222
Order Number: AUG110740
This 160 page monster is scheduled for release on October 1st 2011 (just in time for Halloween), and is also available to pre-order from Markosia's own website and from the following retailers:
Here's the ISBN: 1905692609
You can also read the first 30 pages in this exclusive preview Myebook - Unbelievable - The Man Who Ate Daffodils
It's been a long time coming, having initially spawned the idea for the story 7 years ago (!) and it's been a hell of a journey getting to this point, there have been highs and considerable lows and without going into great detail I must say the proof is in the publishing and I'm so, so glad Unbelievable has found its place in Markosia's stable of titles.
I'll be updating soon with dates for signings, book launch etc, so stay tuned as I also plan a competition to launch the book with some of the original comic art and signed concept sketches as prizes!
As for those other projects....
A little later in the year, there'll be a more horror, with some anthological art duties in the form of undead shenanigans for AccentUK 's 2ombies! (Zombies 2 anthology). Resurrection Shop is written by Craig Gilmore, my co-creator on Senior Citizen, a short for the Sleepless Phoenix Anthology: Survival Stories last year. Look here for a sneaky peek at the artwork.
Putting the undead and horrific to rest for a moment, I'm excited to be able to announce I'll be working again with my letterer of Unbelievable, Nic Wilkinson and her partner in crime, the incomparable Cy Dethan `Master of mind-f***s' and writer of Cancertown, Slaughterman's Creed, White Knuckle on an amazing new title named Phantom Lung And The Garden Of Dead Liars here is some concept art!
Returning to the genre I love, fantasy and folklore, I'll also be working with Lee Robson (Babble, Chosen) on 'The Lang Pack', a short story for `Into The Woods - A Fairytale Anthology' devised by Stacy Whittle of SPBM fame.
Prepare to see something a little different coming out of my pencil soon, when I'll be taking on the art for Ian Sharman's teenage super team title Alpha Gods ! Click here and here for a sneaky peek at some concept sketches for the team's leonine powerhouse Outrage!
Last, but by no means least, Overload #0 out now from Martin Conaghan, writer of Burke & Hare, sees a re-printed 'And He Did', originally featured in the Sleepless Phoenix Anthology and one of my personal faves from the last year or two.
With another story for 10thology on the horizon for 2012's Cardiff Comic Expo launch, the concluding Volume 2 of Unbelievable and a few secret projects in the works, look's like it will be a very busy time to come!
My back's hurting just thinking about it!
Till next time,
Thanks for all of the support!
