The Collapse of False-Face
This is my second production for Colossive Press in their Colossive Cartographies series. False-Face was not one of Batman’s more enduring villains – in fact I believe he only appeared in print once, in a story called ‘The Menace of False-Face’ probably written by Bill Finger and drawn by Sheldon Moldoff with inks by Charles…
Night Parade – A5 book of Macabre Tales
Night Parade – short stories 1987-1992 Four unrelated stories, and years separate their creation. They weren’t really planned as a single volume, but I think they work together well. Each is a self-contained tale featuring an invented character, never used before or since. Coincidentally, they all happen to be drawn at A4 size instead of…
SLCZF 2023 – some impressions
Three days later I am still in a very buoyant mood after the day tabling and selling comics at the South London Comic and Zine Fair 2023. Everyone was so helpful. Tom Murphy had put in a word for me in the first place – that was back in November 2022 when I first made…
New Primitif Collection!
All of my PRIMITIF COMIX reprinted in a single volume, 136pp paperback with a nice colour cover. PRIMITIF is one of my earliest characters and first appeared in 1983. A lot of the stories here were drawn in what must have been a productive period, 1983-1985. Some of them appeared in the pages of FOX…
Mauretania and Psychetecture
Here’s a gallery of printed materials from my Mauretania collection. After the success of the Penguin book in 1990, Chris Reynolds and Paul Harvey mounted a series of exhibitions and events, to publicise the book and promote their ideas about “Psychetecture”. These took place in 1992 and 1993, and they appeared at Freud’s in London…
Chris Reynolds: a tribute
Chris Reynolds passed away peacefully in his sleep on Thursday morning 4th May 2023. I heard the news from my friends John Bagnall, Harley Richardson, and Paul Gravett. We are all profoundly saddened. I’ve lost an old friend and the world has lost a unique cartoonist. We had an email exchange in early 2021. Even…
Astorial Cutaway mini-comic
This just arrived. Drawn earlier this month, after a discussion with publisher Tom Murphy in November last year. That’s more like it – I mean the speed of delivery which is something I like about the small press (in the 1980s, Fast Fiction really was aiming to be fast). Colossive Press has this unique range…
Illegal Batman new reprint!
2023 reprint of Illegal Batman, 40pp book with extra pages Another reprint of my “greatest hit”. Originally drawn in late 1989 and published early 1990. Started out at 100 copies I think; it went through a few small reprintings at the time. I put a PDF online for a while, and there was a 2017…
