World Book Day Deals And New Biodegradable Comic Release!

So, it's World Book Day in the UK this week, and to celebrate I have made the Kindle version of Grynbad And The Seven Soups free to download for this weekend only, in all countries!

Treat yourself to some fun soup-related pirate hijinks here.

Also, as part of a UK-only deal, The Last Of The Navel Navigators is available for just 99p as part of a Kindle Countdown Deal for the weekend (and Amazon have even seen fit to temporarily reduce the price of the paperback). 

For all your hillbilly bellybutton needs, click here. 

And in other news, I've finally released print versions of the 100% Biodegradable Collection 1 and 2 on Amazon (with more to follow in the future). The first collection went straight to number 1 of the Amazon Best Sellers chart 'Cult Graphic Novels' category, so it's worth buying for just £6.99 whilst it's cheap.  

Both collections feature 25 self-contained strips from an amazing selection of creators, including the likes of Dan Cornwell, Alan Burrows, Brett Burbridge, Tony Suleri and many more.  You can buy them at the following links:

Of Mice and Metal Men

Ken Reynolds, the assistant editor of 100% Biodegradable, has a brand new comic out now which is completely free to download.  Cognition follows the exploits of a steam-powered automaton inhabited by a human spirit and a demonically possessed mouse.  They battle spirits, monsters, and folkloric nasties for the British Occult Secret Service during the 'golden age' of the victorian era.


Cognition can be downloaded on the Facebook page here:  https://www.facebook.com/CognitionComic

Ken has written and lettered the comic, with artwork provided by the highly talented Sam Bentley (finalist in Todd McFarlane's 'Lucky 13' fan art contest).  They plan to run a Kickstarter early next year to help fund a Cognition mini-series, so please spread the word and spread the comic!

If you have any poo, now's the time to fling it!

For those who like comics involving a whole host of swashbuckling supernatural simian shenanigans, sink your teeth into the brand new Shit Flingers anthology!

There are several 100% Biodegradable creators involved in the Kickstarter project, including Jimmy Furlong and Andrew Hartmann (who dreamed up the idea), Dave Hailwood, Tony Suleri, Ken Reynolds, Chris Sides and a whole host of talented comic artists and writers.

So, if you have a few quid to spare (you can get a print copy for just £6, or pdf for £5 which also includes issues 1-8 of 100% Biodegradable thrown in!), check out the Kickstarter link and please give it some support!

Black and White Preview

Coming to Issue 9 of 100% Biodegradable - Black and White and Dead All Over.  Script by Stu Smith and David Hailwood, art by Neil Alexander (with colours by Sypher and letters by Ken Reynolds).

Black and White is a short but enjoyably brutal zombie strip, based on another fun and twisted story from Stu Smith's 'Think Yourself Dead' Drabble collection.

And there's more depravity from Neil Alexander here:  http://www.neil-alexander.com

Today is also the last day of Drivethru Comics Sci-fi sale, so if you fancy getting 15% off previous issues of 100% Biodegradable (or issue 1 for free, whilst it's Pay What You Want), now's your chance:  http://www.drivethrucomics.com/browse/pub/6130/Biomekazoik

Issue 3 Preview - Diver Down

With February upon us, I figured it was time to show a few previews of those strips coming up in Issue 3.

To kick things off, here's a preview page from the beautifully atmospheric Diver Down by Mark Bertolini and Carl Yonder (colours by Michael Littlefield Bielaski and letters by Jeff McClelland).  

A bit more about the creative team: 

"Mark Bertolini is a Toronto-based writer who braves the many months of winter by hunkering down and writing comics books. His notable works include the post-apocalyptic OGN “Long Gone” from UK Publisher AAM Markosia, his supervillain deconstruction “Breakneck” from 215 Ink, and the grindhouse mashup “Scum of the Earth” from Action Lab Danger Zone. He enjoys pro wrestling, music, and beards."

You can learn more about Mark's work at:  http://markbertolini.wordpress.com/

"Growing up a military brat, Carl Yonder and his family traveled around the country and eventually the world. With all of the relocating, his parents and his artwork were the two biggest constants in his life. Over the years, his initial love of art developed into a passion, which he continues to pursue primarily through sequential art and painting.

Currently illustrating the comic Pirate Eye – a hardboiled take on the high seas – written by Josiah Grahn (published quarterly through Action Lab Comics), Carl also has several other comic stories in various stages of development. All of these projects allow him the opportunity to experiment with his art and continue to travel."


You can see more of Carl's artwork at: http://www.carlyonder.com/

Issue 3 of 100% Biodegradable is due out mid-March.
