Small Press comics creator since 1982
New comic published May 2025. 40 pages in full colour. Henrietta is an early character from around 1984 who appeared in a few short, absurd fables. Her comics never had word balloons and the slightly didactic text would appear at the top of the panels narrating everything, even putting the dialogue in quotes. She started…
All-new comic book published April 2025. This is a collection of all-new stories set in the imaginary Astorial Hotel, arriving some years after the first “Compendium” (2021) which featured Tamblyn The Secret Architect on the cover. That earlier book was a revisit of stories first authored in the 1990s, which allowed me the chance to…
Previously unpublished comic book written and drawn in 1996. Now available in full colour for £6.00 + p&p. The Race was scripted by Chris Butler, who sent me the story from his Sheffield address in summer of 1996. We had previously collaborated on a couple of stories, ‘Miserable Slaves Of Dogs’ and ‘Enlberia’. The first…
The third comic from the original Astorial Stories series of 1986, now with added colours. The Building Trade features the character of Tom the Builder, at work on the exterior of the Hotel, apparently carrying out repairs and works all by himself, apart from the interventions of a well-meaning but ineffectual foreman. And of course…
Another mini-comic back from the printer today. This one is a colourised version of ‘Sounds of the Past’ from 1988. According to my records, it was published in Phil Elliott’s Gag magazine #7. This is one of those one-off fable type stories where the characters, Douglas and Mary, never appear again in the Pinsent “universe”….
Herewith a couple of recent mini-comic publications. Well, actually neither of them are new strips, but I’m re-presenting and reworking these 1980s strips in an A5 8-page format. I used to put out xerox zines this size quite a lot, so for me it’s a welcome return to a favourite form. I’m planning to publish…
The Forgotten Batman Book 3 of 3Published January 2024 The conclusion to this three-part story, started in July 2020. The first instalment appeared in 2021. In this conclusion, we see our hero make a triumphant return from the past and successfully puts everything right in Gotham City. The defeat of each colourful criminal is given…
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…
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…
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…
