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.

You can catch more of Stu Smith's art and mental secretions here: http://gravitoncreations.tumblr.com

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

100% Biodegradable available on Comixology

Issue 1 of 100% Biodegradable is now available to buy on Comixology!  Issues 2 and 3 have also been accepted and processed, so it shouldn't be long before they're available as well.  Thanks to Comixology's Guided View technology, you should be able to read the comic on smaller devices such as Mobile Phones (I've tested Guided View on my ipad with a complimentary copy that Comixology sent me, and it works very nicely indeed).  So if you haven't already brought yourself a copy of the first issue, now is a jolly nice time to do so (all support is greatly appreciated!). I'm hoping to do a write-up on the whole Comixology process soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 100% Biodegradable Vol. 1

A hearty welcome!

Well hello there, my inquisitive compadres!

Welcome to the brand new blog for Biomekazoik Developments - home to the 100% Biodegradable comics anthology, and the free online board game 'Board Horde'.

As time goes on I'll be using this blog to bring attention to upcoming strips in the anthology, highlight the works of various creators and give a behind the scenes look at the art, writing and editing process.  And maybe, just maybe, I'll one day do an update for that pesky online board game of mine!

Currently the anthology has only been out for two months now, and we've already had masses of high quality submissions - some from newcomers, and others from seasoned pros (the web links to the right should give you an idea of some of the creators whose work will be appearing inside future issues). 

If you happen to be a comic writer or artist who would like to get involved, then we're looking for 1-6 page self contained strips of a sci-fi/fantasy/horror/adventure nature.  Preferably completed strips, though if you're a great artist looking for a writer or a great writer looking for an artist we may be able to pair you up with someone if your work is what we're after.  Feel free to email us at: biomekazoik[at]gmail.com for more information.

I'd just like to say huge thanks to John Kirkham for doing such a marvelous job on the graphic design work for the covers and contents pages (and all the joyous admin work!), and to all the creators who have submitted work so far.  The generosity of some of the professional creators who've taken time out of their busy schedules to rifle through their back catalogue of work at the insane whim of a bespectacled beard-sporting editor has been truly astounding.  Cheers, chaps!  That bar tab at the next comic convention I attend may bankrupt me, as it's growing with every favour...

Anyway, must get back to planning issue 3 (due out mid-March).  Stay tuned as there's fun times ahead, people!
