Small Press comics creator since 1982
New work out now! A collaboration with the American performance artist / writer / poet Bryan Lewis Saunders. Protective Geometry is a string of images drawn to accompany a transcript of one of Bryan’s sleep-talking sessions. It is very odd and disturbing. Not a comic as such, more like an illustrated text, but a must…
From 1995. This was published in The Slab Selection (Slab-O-Concrete 1996) edited by Peter Pavement.
Here is a video made by Stephen Poulacheris of last November’s Comica event. I turned up to sell books, do a live drawing, and I also took part in a short interview with Stephen. I appear from around 8:30 on this YouTube video.
Some feedback received so far: “Brilliant! Thanks Ed, not only did I enjoy that immensely but feel very privileged to be sent it before it’s posted publicly. Also, I don’t think I ever wrote to you to thank you for giving me a copy of Primitif at the Comiket last November. If I did, forgive…

Some additions to the UK small press gallery of A5 comics…this includes some issues of Automatic, a 1990s venture seeing an editorial collaboration between Darryl Cunningham and Rich Holden, representing the work of artists in the north of England.
Available from print-on-demand service lulu.com From 1996, here are two chapters of an unpublished Primitif story. Completely unlike other Primitif adventures in that the hero does nothing at all; the story sees him drowning in a pool of mud, tormented by vague memories and hallucinations. The ambiguity of the situation contrasts strongly with the clear…
Another page from the unfinished “These Five” story. See the previous post for the other images.
