Ben Dilworth gives his own spin on the character Johnny Neg: a hard-boiled detective in a unique universe. 

What does a detective sound like in a place where everything can -and has- happened? A decadent place where the end of the world is assured to occur? 

1984 meets the Apocalypse on steroids! 

Text stories include: "Let's Talk It Over", "BrainDrainer", "Stamp" and "StokeHeadDead" 

Strips include: "Mutoids", "Home", "Mob Rools", "Love Robot", "Suicide Balls" and "The Ghost Bar" 

And for added delectation --there is a GoBo insert (you DO know who GoBo is, right?

Projects, Projects and Johnny Neg

Having lettered and cleaned up 120+ pages in just over a week there was bound to be one mistake. One mistake is not bad you know.

At 0135 hours on Tuesday I was checking through some UK Golden Age work and suddenly realised that I had not given a character his correct name.  It was no panic because you take these things in your stride, or should.

I realised that the character's name was only used in two panels so that was easily corrected without having to re-text a whole page.  That was something to be happy about at least. Then I gotto the final page and the "end of project" depression kicked in. That was countered by the need for a front and back cover for the book.  All swings and roundabouts really.

I have The Ultimate Game: Cross Earths book 1 to edit and letter. Book 2 is partly redrawn. Then I have Ben Dilworth's take on a character -Johnny Neg to make into a release...I will not say this week as I'm unsure what day it is...but for release next week at the latest.

By the end of next week, for certain, the number of books at the online store should stand at around 130 and if things go as scheduled the number should reach 140 by mid-July.

It's Done....and by Wednesday!

The Green Skies Vol. 3 Part 1 is now finished.

Getting Nearer....

Just finished cleaning and lettering page 77 of The Green Skies so not that far to go til p. 120!

A Green Skies Update

It's 20:18 hrs and I have JUST finished lettering and saving to the Green Skies document page 67.

Took a while to get into the swing of things since I've not lettered a comic in a couple years!

Can't wait to get to page 120!

Final Green Skies Part 1 page count

Yesterday, despite the laptop problems, I managed to scan and clean 60pp and made a couple art corrections. All to be added to The Green Skies Volume III Part 1.

Lettering I will start later this week as my poor vision needs to recuperate.

But, considering this book (now "books") should have been out in June 2014 it is a relief to see it get to this stage!

Part 1 will have 120pp

A Little Update

I have been breaking up The Green Skies pages and the first volume (I gave up on including it as parts in Black Tower Super Heroes) has 120pp of art

That is 120pp of story. Whether I'll add extras I'm not sure as I want to keep the costs down. That page count means the book will be Perfect Bound as a paperback and A4 in format.
