New and recent comics by Ed
Continuing my plan to add colour to some of my stories, here are the first two Astorial Stories books now with added colours. The third story, The Building Trade, is also coloured – just not sent to the printer yet. I’m planning to complete all five mini-comics from the original series, plus The Floating Dan…
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…

“This is a fondly teasing spotlight on the life of a colourful super-villain, with the main strip depicting him in a number of his trademark disguises commenting on his criminal schemes of the moment. This is sequential storytelling that asks readers not simply to fill in the spaces between panels but also entire possible narratives…
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…
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…
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…
