Here’s my version of Gary, based on the sterling visual creations of Kelvin Green (issue 1) and Ryan Taylor (issue 2). Rol has really made the rotating teams of artists per issue work for TMS&V,...

Infinite Monkeys: Before Watchmen →
Reposting the MOMBcast crew here, as I was invited to share my initial thoughts on the subject of DC’s upcoming Before Watchmen prequels. This paragraph below doesn’t come close to my entire feeling on the subject (I don’t get to debate the ill-thought-out defence that Alan Moore has also reused others’ characters, or to explain how I think Watchmen is different than Batman...

Forbidden Planet's Best of the Year – Andrew... →
Every year, those fine gents at the Forbidden Planet Blog run a Best of the Year, asking various comic creatives for their votes on the books, comics, movies and TV shows of the last 12 months, and generally asking how their year went. I was lucky enough to have been asked, and my Best of 2011 is on the site today:
“Today’s guest Best of the Year comes hotter than a rattler on roller...

I was never a fan of home computers and mobile phones; very late adopter and user of both. I picked up my first Windows PC in the mid-90s, mostly to see what this new internet was all about and to use a comic cataloguing program I’d inadvisedly bought from a comic shop. My first phone was quite advanced, but I only used it to call and text people, and to take the odd photograph. The problem...

My latest comic, Pictures Made Of Light, has been reviewed by Richard Bruton over at the Forbidden Planet Blog.
Richard says:
“Read it first time and you wonder what it means, wonder if it even means anything. Read it a second, third, fourth time and you’ll still be wondering if it has any meaning, but by that stage you’ll be ascribing meaning to it, and then you may start to believe it’s...

Artist David Frankum (FutureQuake, Massacre for Boys) has recently started a blog over on his website, where - among other things - he has this to say about West:
“Andrew and Tim can really tell a story. The story works well on many different levels and there’s a lovely sense of emotion running throughout, an element (I feel) is lacking in a lot of comic books. Tim’s artwork is a joy to look...
