Even an Android... Just One Page

This is the picture I did for Ade Brown's 'Just 1 Page' Horror-themed Comics exhibition displayed recently at Orbital Comics in London. Eagle-eyed readers will recognise the inspiration, a mash-up of Thomas/Buscema's Avengers classic 'Even an Android can cry' (seen HERE for example), together with the 'Injury to the Eye' motif beloved of 1950's EC Horror comics (see example HERE).

Sneaking out at Comiket this week prior to its official intended debut at Thoughtbubble next week was my latest Microcomic 'Fish1000 Comics Compendium #1', which comprises of an all-new strip, plus two classics from CAPTION programmes, plus my recent 'Just 1 Page' effort which was exhibited at Orbital Comics in London, and available to buy for Charity.

Austerity: Caption 2011

Caption 2011 had a theme of 'Austerity'. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it down to Oxford this year, but I did contribute a drawing for the programme - Entitled 'Crossover on Finite Budget'!!

More Moore?

Mere moments before the imposing figure of Alan Moore strode around the corner near Pizza Express, this gent cycled up to the queue (waiting behind GOSH Comics for a Moore signing), and asked what the line was for...

Clearly some sort of witchcraft must have been involved. Good job he didn't stick around for those extra moments, there surely would have been some sort of clash-of-beards!
