Comic Bits 3 Could Well Happen!

 

Comic Bits 1 and 2 sold in very low numbers but the feedback was very positive. The third issue I cancelled as the amount of research, work and the time was too much for a publication few read.

The image to the left is the cover designed for Comic Bits 3 and I have to admit that I have a lot of material on Platinum and Diamond Ages (British) creators and plenty of old comic strips and art. That Ben Dilworth cover just has to see print so once a couple of other projects are out of the way I may put the 80pp book together.

I have to admit that the lack of UK comic collectors interest in the history that is mostly lost is staggering It goes to show what I have claimed about disinterest was right.

I have a lot of cleaned artwork (I have learnt a lot since the original Black Tower Gold series) so it is just a case of getting the time, energy and will to push on๐Ÿ˜‚

But first the strip work on other projects needs to be lettered and then books published so do not expect anything before August or September!

Was It ...The End Of The World? (for the project, yes)

 I have basically put together comic projects and covers (see last post) for other publishers over the years. During the 1990s an editor at D. C. Thomson (Dundee Editions) got in touch about reviving and updating some old characters (I've gone into this on CBO).

So I put together The New Hornet (preliminary title) and after tweaks Adventure.

Mr Pendragon and a new character and William and Katy aka Billy and Katy the Cat(s)-these pages were to be promo glimpses for readers with the "48 Hours To Save The World" blurb. I seem to want to keep destroying the Earth...I hope the NSA or GCHQ don't read that!

The cover for Adventure was shown in that last post.







Sample Covers 1999-2004


Between 1999 and 2006 I had to put together various dummy mock up covers including one for a D. C. Thomson project that never happened. The main Adventure title features the Owl Man about to land on Australia's Panther -hand coloured.

Pete Forrest and Geni Redrawn by.....anonymous

 As I went through musty old boxes with 35-40 year old material in them I found surprises -original work of mine, projects I had worked on and a fully drawn version of my 1984 Pete Forrest and Geni strip.  That was in Black Tower Adventure no.1 so the strip must have been redrawn late 1980's to early 1990's.


I looked on the back of the art -nothing other than a note which read "Tried 3x to return art but not contactable"

I have no idea who drew this and whether it was a one off attempt and he decided not to bother or...or anything really.

If the artist is still out there -and I will want proof it is his work- he ought to get in touch.

I have slightly tidied up pp 1 and 2 but as I cannot use the work the rest are basic scans.
