I feel no words are really necessary . . .

Current projects update

So, I’m still waiting to hear the final decision on one of my manuscripts from a top international publisher. They seem very interested, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much. Hopefully I’ll be hearing something this coming week, at which point I should be able to reveal a little more. Until [...]

Comic buying capers

Today I picked up a Marvel/DC crossover comic from a second hand bookshop here in Wexford.  It features Superman and Spider-man teaming up to take on Dr Doom and The Parasite.  There’s also a smattering of the Incredible Hulk thrown in for good measure. Anyway, as with most Marvel and DC comics of this era [...]

Sunny, rainy, sunny again

It’s been a weird day, weather-wise. Glorious one minute, bucketing down the next. At the moment I can see a bright blue sky out of the big patio doors in my little home office. Sadly, I’m far too busy to get out and enjoy it, as I have 15 days left until a big deadline, [...]

The 50th Post

I really just logged on here today to delete all the usual spam comments about Britney Spears’ … um … lady’s area, but then I noticed that my post last night was the forty-ninth one to appear on the site. For the mathematically challenged, that would make this post number fifty. A milestone in anyone’s [...]

The four issue mini-series will be published first in comic, then in graphic novel format, and will be written by me, [...]

Gorgeous Gangrene

Neil Chenier, the penciller working on my comic script, has sent over a bundle of sketches he’s done of various characters in the series.  I don’t have time to show them all at the moment, but here’s one of my favourites to whet your appetite … Isn’t he lovely?  I’ll post some more later, along [...]

Notes, cameras and yet more comics

Today I received my feedback from Egmont on the first draft of the top secret project I’m writing for them. I’m happy to report that there’s very little needing changing – just some house style stuff, really (for example, I’ve used ‘onto’ where their house style prefers ‘on to’). Nothing major to change, which is [...]

Check out my Gangrene

Right now I’m in the middle of putting together a submission for Image Comics, along with a very talented artist bloke from the US. Image are the third biggest comic book publisher in the world (after Marvel and DC), but uniquely allow creators to hold onto their characters, rather than signing them over before publication.
