New and recent comics by Ed
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…
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…
Illegal Batman in “The Forgtten Batman” Book 2 of 3 Continuing from the cliff-hanger of the previous volume, Illegal Batman has just completed his recovery from the strange cloud of infection, and managed to apprehend one of the invaders who has been lurking in the Batcave. He now realises he needs to travel back in…
Astorial Compendium Volume II This volume reprints and collects pretty much all the Astorial Stories I could find for the period 1987-2009, set in the imaginary Astorial Hotel. Some of them first appeared in Fast Fiction magazine and other small press publications. Where Volume I explores space and depth inside impossibly large rooms, the stories…
I’m quite pleased with the cover drawing to this recent Astorial Compendium book. It depicts Tamblyn The Secret Architect dashing through the corridors of the imaginary Astorial Hotel. But the scale, the proportions, and the perspective, are all wrong – no building like this could possibly exist, and no human being could possibly be running…
Astorial Compendium published December 2021 A collection of all-new Astorial Stories, set in the imaginary Astorial Hotel. This collection revisits a number of stories I wrote in 1992 for other artists to draw. Since that project didn’t turn out as planned, I recently revisited the scripts and drew them up myself, thus resulting in five…
Illegal Batman in “The Forgtten Batman” Book 1 of 3 My first new Illegal Batman story since 2016’s The Man Behind The Curtain. The projected story is going to be quite long, and I anticipate two other books after this one. A strange time for an Illegal Batman who finds himself somehow infected by a…
Vladimir The Medico in Anarchic Hospital Tales Vladimir The Medico is summoned to America as a visiting dignitary. In the large and complex Fortran Hospital, he delivers a lecture reminiscing about his early struggles in his homeland of Prague. At first, he is superficially impressed by the apparent freedom and opportunities in the “harmonious states…
Silver-Age Superman 2020 reprint! Back in print: Silver-Age Superman by Ed Pinsent and Mark Robinson. Available now from Lulu.com, £10.35 plus postage and packing. This book originally appeared as an A4 sized comic book in 1993. This 2020 reprint is a facsimile edition with extra pages. Not long after my Illegal Batman book appeared, the…
I’m planning to reprint an old (1994) story featuring Vladimir The Medico, previously published as Anarchic Hospital Tales. As part of this process, I thought it would be nice to add halftones to the drawings. To show work in progress, here’s a before and after of page 11.
