Right, bit of a meaty update for you.

And in case all that isn't enough to give you a sci-fi overload, 100% Biodegradable 15 is out now!

Here's a few previews of what to expect inside...

First up, the start of a brand new 8 part series from John Freeman and Dave Thomson...Skowdogs!  A small rundown starship with its misfit crew seek out new worlds, new civilisations - and try to make as much money as possible without getting killed...

And then we have Climate Exchange by Dave Roberts and Edward Whatley, in which the discovery of a receipt for planet earth could prove to be mankind's ultimate salvation...or destruction.

From Alan Burrows (2000ad, Eagle, Red Dwarf) and Paul H. Birch comes the first of a three part classic series starring the ever charismatic Switchblade.

All this, and more, in the next 36 page edition of 100% Biodegradable...available now on Drivethru and Comicsy

Free Bulldog!

For World Book Day UK comic writer Jason Cobley has made all his ebooks free, including The Greatest Adventures Of Captain Winston Bulldog, The Extraordinary Exploits Of Captain Winson Bulldog, and Bulldog Clips.

I've always had a bit of a softspot for Captain Bulldog as the Bulldog Adventures Magazine was the first small press comic I ever brought (way back in the nineties!). There's some mighty fine creators involved in these comics, and you'll find the likes of Garen Ewing (of Rainbow Orchid fame), PJ Holden (2000ad regular), Neill Cameron (highly popular artist for The Phoenix, whose Poor Taste strip will be appearing in 100% Biodegradable at a later date) and there's even a few contributions from myself and Paul Harrison Davies (my Bunk Mates and Hoodied Horror collaborations with Paul appear inside Bulldog Clips).

Anyway, enough waffle from me! They may not be free for long, so pop along to Lulu and start downloading them now!
