Robot Girl meets Rivet!

Over at The Super Comics Adventure Squad blog there's a bit of a Fan Art theme going on and I couldn't resist having a shot myself:

The characters are John Aggs' excellent Robot Girl
(check John's blog here)
and Bob and Lorenzo Etherington's character Rivet, from the wonderful 'Monkey Nuts'.(check Bob and Lorenzo's blog here)

Both characters were from The DFC, published by David Fickling Books!

The End of the DFC, the Start of The Super Comics Adventure Squad!

Photobucket
Sadly the final issue of the DFC hits today, it should be a great issue, but it's sad to see it come to a close (for the time being at least...).
At least we go out with a bang and an awesome cover!
In the absence of the DFC, an assortment of it's creators have grouped together to form 'The Super Comics Adventure Squad', a collective of comic creators under one banner!

The name stems from James Turner's excellent (and always hilarious) DFC strip, Super Animal Adventure Squad.

Much props to Garen Ewing for setting this up!

The DFC

Photobucket

As is fairly common knowledge now, the comic I've been working on since mid '08, The DFC has sadly had it's funding pulled and will cease publication with issue 43.
There's not a great deal of fresh light I can spread on the matter, except to say that it's a darn shame. I'll miss working on it, but mostly I'll miss everyone else's brilliant strips. It's disappointing that most of the tales won't see completion, I also really feel for the many folks whose strips never had the chance to see print.
Anyway, much respect to all the staff, contributors and readers, it was a real blast.
Look out for the extra special collabo-cover for the last ish, it's gonna be great!

Captain Rad

This is a project I was working on for The DFC, hopefully it'll see the light of day in the future, but til then here's a peek.
Captain Rad was my loving tribute to the kind of camp Sci-Fi that was popular when my dad was a kid. My only real aims were to make it pretty silly and overblown, whilst hopefully giving the readers some really cool action scenes and set-pieces!
