Issue

All 4 issues of Guts Power now available in an actual shop

I wrote a bit about that, but it didn’t work due to Tumblr’s interface being pure glitchy.

Anyway, issues 1-4, for sale at Deadhead Comics, Edinburgh, Brawny Scotland. No idea the price, but perhaps get yourself a bargain?

The bit of card I had at the Glasgow Comic Mart, advertising my stupid/great comic. Hot deals, so there were.

You try to make a dense, concise 20-page comic spanning 3 eras

And you end up waffling about a secret team of ghosts for 5 pages.


Comics: a tough old game.

I’m not totally ‘au fait’ with these other comics, but I am totally going to check them out (and you should, too!). I don’t expect to win AT ALL but it feels pretty excellent to get a nomination, as I didn’t even expect to get one of those!

Ocht, I like when I get to feel like my stupit wee comic is a thing that actually exists. Better get on with Issue 4, eh!
