Tales of Terror MAY Return

  I was asked why I stopped the once a year Tales of Terror title.  Well, it used to appear in October but the truth of the matter is that I didn't have time to draw loads of horror or ghost stories.

I did start on some Chinee ghost strip but....

Thing is if you cannot pay contributors and two copies of the book with their work in is not acceptable....you're stuck. I have a lot of material that could go into bumper "annuals" but reprinting material isn't that exciting. 

Maybe one day Devilina will be back to introduce horror tales. Who knows!

But remember there are six isue of illustrated text stories in A Little Midnight Horror!

The Green Skies -The End of Humanity?

 

The idea started out in 1986 as Invasion Earth but when Fleetway became interested it was adapted and became The Ultimate Game but cut-backs in the company meant that the project was shelved. Then it became less epic as Looking Glass and then Fleetway backed out again.

A name change to Parallel Motions/Cosmic Fulcrum when it was considered by two other publishers –before they went out of business!

 

Come print on demand and self publishing the story, now Return of the Gods: Twilight of the Super Heroes, ran across 6 issues of Black Tower Adventure -136 pages that, after a reworking putting events on an even grander scale and making it the UKs first major action graphic novel, that page count rose to over 360 pages and Return of the Gods: Twilight of the Super Heroes became volume 1 of the Invasion Earth Trilogy.

 

That book was followed by volume 2 of the Invasion Earth Trilogy –The Cross Earths Caper.

Both books featured super heroes and action spread around the world and in outer space: a giant robot. Warring gods. The Boarman invasion of Earth and much more. In both books the alien Vampirons stayed in the background and plotted and schemed and awaited the time for the arrival of their god –The Many-Eyed One.

In 2020 the final volume of the trilogy is published in three parts as The Green Skies. Alien craft and refugee vessels shoot through the Sol System and soon information reveals that a great alien invasion fleet is heading into our solar system attacking outer planets and destroying any vessel they come across. On Earth a virus is sweeping the planet and people are being infected by another virus –this one an alien nano virus. Victims become the mindless puppets of the Vampirons who are called The Cl;one Zone Boys.

Amidst global panic heroes as well as Earth own defence forces attempt to stop the spread of the virus.  In space peaceful Mars is bombarded.  OPn the Moon the Selenite Council calls on Johnny Apollo to head its combined defensive fleet against the invaders…and if defence fails a dooms-day device will be detonated wiping out the enemy and the entire Sol System.

On Earth its sorcerers and other magic users are trapped as the Vampirons make their move. A lone survivor from a parallel Earth heralds the coming of The Many-Eyed One and the end of everything while a young hero traverses interstitial time and space attempting to slow down the coming while working on a plan –a plan that may fail.

A death tolls rise it becomes clear that some world leaders have thrown their lot in with the Vampirons and the betrayals begin.

In a small park in England a small group of heroes meet for what could be one last time as the Many-Eyed One arrives on Earth.

Is this the end of Mankind?

The Green Skies has been called “an epic scale story with twists and turns at every point” and in the Black Tower Universe if you did…there is no coming back.

Explaining How It Works In Case...

 Sales have started picking up on the online store. However, they all seem tyo be from the UK and it seems, from what some have said to me, that the problem lies in people not understanding the order process and expecting to pay international postage and import duty.

I have explained this several times but I will explain it again because it is important.

Black Tower Comic and Books is based in the United Kingdom. However, with print-on-demand (POD) there is an online store front and when you go onto it you will see the cost of books in your local currency whether Yen, dollar or Euro. The reason for this is that the book(s) you order will be printed in your region and so are posted from your region.

Easiest way to see thi is by placing a book in the Cart. Don't panic because unless you actually pay you ARE NOT ordering the book. Anyway, once the book is in the cart proceed to postage and you will see three options to choose from. You will see that those are local postal rates.

There is absolutely no ordering or shipping from the UK to another country so no import duty or very high international mailing costs.

Books are priced at thye absolute minimum and on average I never make a profit. Of course, if thousands of you order books I'll be very happy :-)

Please feel free to check out the store front and see for yourself how it works.

Covers -The Dark Night Detectives

 Thankfully, The Dark Night Detectives was the last book on my desk and I can now concentrate on other comics work.  When you have to fight your own computer to get work done it isn't great.

The cover you see in the post was the third choice.

The first I dumped straight away.

This was the second choice:

and final choice

Normally I go with what the artist designs, however, the type of printing used would make the hand drawn logo look washed out and that isn't very appealing to the eyes.  I would criticise the size of the BTC&B logo used but it had to be that size to cover something up.

Whatever, the book is done now and if you haven't read the previous volume well...

Its a world where if you stand up for what is right you'll be lucky if its just a beating you get.

A world where people are starving (if poor) and the rich live in luxury.

A world where you have to have birthing Rights.

Where sacrificing someone to the Devil is acceptable -as long as they pay the wages.

A world where if you DO NOT take that bribe you WILL be made an example of.

This shows off Dilworth's skill at writing dark and brooding stories with a hint of satire but just too true to modern life!  It also shows his skill as an artistic story teller and designer.  Some of Ben Dilworth's most provoking and dark work in ages.

A world where you have to have birthing Rights. Where sacrificing someone to the Devil is acceptable -as long as they pay the wages.

This was the dystopian world set up by Ben Dilworth in Small Press publications in the 1980 and some strips in Black Tower books and led on to The Dark Night Detectives: Everything Is Under Control. 

Now Detective Inspector Black and Special Constable (Community Policing) Jones are back and it is still dar, bleak and depressingly familiar in a way.

 The ending will make you ask more than a few questions.

I KNOW What You Are Going To Ask...

 "Just how did you publish a book with no scanners and a failing computer?"

I started trying to scan last Thursday. My Mustek A3 Pro failed me. My Canon scanner failed me. My computer was shutting down and not saving edits. I finallyfinished editing at 16:45 hours and published about 20 minutes ago.

Every page the scanner and computer tried to fight me on and right up to the very last page it was a fight but over 2 decades of using a PC and all types of scanners teaches you skills. There is a reason I am known as "Master of the Mystic Farts"   "Master of the Mystic Scans".  Even now my PC is trying to screw up my typing this brief post.

Buy my books and help me my new equipment (I'm trying that one a "to pay bills and eat" has not worked over the last 10 years...)

I am now going to take a rest and heal my eyes and head!

 It's the Wild West and one man, his identity hidden by a mask, has been made a United States Marshal with a remit to travel where ever he needs to and an even more secret remit: rid the West of the outlaws and killers and make it safe for American citizens -use any and all methods.

 The toll A Life By The Gun will take is unknown to the Masked Marshal but is inevitable. 

Ben Dilworth guides Stransky & Labbat to bring us stories of gun law: 

Bad Law 

Bushwackers 

The Old Man of the River 

Snowball 

Clayton Gang 

Some times even hitching up your horse while you take a drink can lead to death.

You Know When I wrote "Walk Away from It"?

 I should have done just that. I finally got the Mustek scanner to work and on preview the pages looked okay. Scanned 24 pages -all looked okay. Saved them.

Now, as I'd starting to edit the page I note that somehow and AFTER scanning the images all had a page length marking that would require me to re-scan all of them (like ****) or take days to clean then them with a computer that constantly shuts down documents on "Save" meaning you have to start editing from step 1 again.

And so I am closing documents and walking away from this. There were just two book to be scanmned and edited and as far as I am concerned they can wait and gather dust. No new scanner + No new PC = No new books. I'm sure you are all quite 'devastated'.

Off to stare at the rain.

Eccentric scientific genius Professor Thaddeus Twatt has decided to look in on one of his late father’s experiments… ...but then his nephew, Tomas, arrives for the Summer. 

Tomas has been warned that his uncle is a little “odd” but expects to have a carefree holiday in the Somerset countryside. That was his plan. 

In the late 1940s, Twatt’s father, along with other scientists, had created a miniature galaxy in chambers deep beneath the Cheddar countryside. A miniature galaxy into which groups of settlers flew. After decades it seems time to visit the “Twatt-verse” and see how things have gone. 

Tomas thinks it’s all a joke...

until he is miniaturised! 

The duo find the entrance to the mini-verse mined and then their craft crash-lands on the first planet they approach.

 They find what seems to be a barren, frozen world —until captured by a group of survivors and a story is told of betrayal, sabotage and a great “Worm” that devastates cities. 

Are the duo trapped of frozen Friggia forever…?

Following their escape from the planet Friggia, Twatt and Tomas find what appears to be a jungle planet –complete with rather odd life forms. 

However, as Professor Twatt casually strolls around the Jungle Planet he finds a mine complex using slave labourers —then he sees the crystal-like flying saucer and realises that the impossible has happened…. 

The Crystallids are here! But what are the Crystallids and what is Twatt’s connection to them. Some of the secrets of Professor Twatt’s earlier life could be exposed by a chance encounter with a Crystallid prisoner —a man who knows Twatt...the question is: will Twatt and Tomas live ?

It begins slowly.  It always does. It's a deception that everything in the world is as it should be and that never changes.

Earth’s heroes and crime-fighters are going about their daily tasks –fighting a giant robot controlled by a mad scientist’s brain, attackers both human and mystical -even alien high priests of some mysterious cult and their zombie followers and, of course, a ghost and a young genius lost in time. 

Pretty mundane. 

But psychics around the world have been sensing something.  A "something" that sends feelings of sheer terror through their psyches.

There is a huge alien Mother-ship near the Moon. Undetected by deep-space radar and other instruments, only a few on Earth have sensed it and they cannot penetrate the hull but only feel psychic screams and....worse.

And then it begins: strange orange spheres isolate and chase some of Earth’s heroes who then vanish into thin air –are they dead?  An attack by an old foe or foes -?

Black, impenetrable domes cover cities world-wide. 

Then it becomes clear to those within the domes what is going on: Alien invasion of Earth! 

A war between the Dark Old Gods and the pantheons that followed! 

Warriors from Earth’s past having to battle each day and whether they die or not they are back the next day! 

No one suspects the driving force behind the events.  One single evil guiding events.  Events that could cause destruction and chaos throughout the multiverse.

Assaulted on all fronts can Earth’s defenders succeed or will they fail...is this truly the end?
