100% Biodegradable 11 Out Now!




Issue 11 of 100% Biodegradable is out now, with more pages, more action, and more insanity that you could shake a mutated tentacle at!

Inside this issue, which features a rather smashing cover by Andrew Hartmann and Charlie Hogg: The eclectic crew of The Flaming Heston take a less than relaxing vacation in Jimmy Furlong and Andrew Hartmann's 'Moby Douche'...


...a middle aged barbarian sets off on a quest to restore his manliness, a downtrodden detective discovers the morbid truth behind an influx of street drugs, Travis Wilson takes a bad trip through the dark recesses of his mind in part 5 of John Freeman (Judge Dredd Megazine, Crucible) and Brett Burbridge's Death Duty...

...and a surfboarding werewolf goes head to head with the unhip Pat Boone loving menace that is Frankenteen in Kek-W (2000ad, Cap'n Dinosaur) and Lukasz Kowalczuk's Surf Wolf. All this, and more!


Grab Issue 11 on Drivethru here for just $0.99:

Men At Work

A lot of 100% Biodegradable creators have been very active of late, so I thought I'd take a moment to draw attention to some of their projects.

On Kickstarter, Paul H. Birch and Steve Tanner have put together a rather spectacular 'Bomb Scares' horror anthology.  It reached its target within the first two days (little surprise, with such a vast range of artistic talent inside), but there's still time to grab it at discount price by pledging your support.

As well as containing strips from 100% Biodegradable's Mats Engesten, David Hailwood, Jim Alexander and Gary Crutchley, there's a gorgeous cover by 2000ad's Richard Elson and Dave Kendall, and plenty of other quality material inside.



 Chris Redfern, who wrote Happier Times for issue 7 of 100% Biodegradable, has recently released a sci-fi Kindle book titled 'Colt 45' which is available for just £1.99

You can find out more about this rip roaring rampage of cyborg revenge over on Amazon, and read the first two chapters for free.



Chris Sides (who wrote The Last Batch, featured on the cover of 100% Biodegradable 8) is currently holding a Redshift Press sale until halloween. 

This means you can pick up his Dark Matter horror anthology (which recently featured in a special 100% Biodegradable bundle) at a ridiculously cheap price (£8 for a print copy, and just 69p/$0.99 for digital).

You can order the print version on Comicsy here:  http://www.comicsy.co.uk/redshiftpress/


Issue 10 out now!

Issue 10 of 100% Biodegradable is out now on Drivethru and Comicsy (with ComiXology release to follow at a later date), priced $0.99/69p


Inside this issue: Truckers tear their way across Hell’s Highway on an ill conceived mission of mercy, a lone soldier battles invaders and isolation, two apocalypse survivors face off against the psychotic android scourge known as The Milk Machine, the return of Jim Alexander (2000ad, Metal Hurlant) and Jon Haward's (Judge Dredd Megazine, Tales Of The Buddha) popular detective series 'Sideburns', and Travis Wilson crosses the hazardous mutant filled London wastelands in the fourth instalment of John Freeman (Crucible, Judge Dredd Megazine) and Brett Burbridge's Death Duty series. All this, and more!


The digital anthology is 30 pages, colour and b/w. 15+ age rating, due to the occasional touch of blood and gore.

Reviews:

"A brilliant mix of dry humour, action, and story driven narrative." - Robert Bagley, A Place To Hang Your Cape

"The kind of smart script and stylish art that would feel right at home in the pages of the galaxys greatest comic!" Alex Thomas, Pipedream Comics

"Good old fashioned sci-fi escapism, and the art of Tony Suleri is worth the entrance fee alone" Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier

“Featuring a range of styles, themes and ideas, there’s sure to be something of interest for all comic fans.” Ian J. Simpson, Geek Syndicate

And keep your eyes peeled for the first 100% Biodegradable print collection, which contains 30 strips from issues 1-6 of the digital anthology and will be released on Drivethru very soon indeed!

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!

Issue 10 preview - Sideburns

Jim Alexander and Jon Haward have been kind enough to provide another 'Sideburns' detective strip for the upcoming issue of 100% Biodegradable.


The previous Sideburns strip appeared in Issue 4 of 100% Biodegradable, which is available here: http://www.drivethrucomics.com/product/130251/100-Biodegradable-4

The strips themselves are almost 20 years old, but Jon's gritty noir artwork still holds its own.  And if you're in the mood for something a little more light hearted, I'd recommend checking out 'Tales Of The Buddha before he got Enlightened', which is illustrated by Jon and written by Alan and Jamie Grant.
