Richard Bruton has published a list of his UK “comics to look forward to” over on the The Forbidden Planet blog, including:

“Sounds like a busy year planned for Cheverton – there should be two new issues of West (hooray) – Points West in May and the provisionally-titled September for the autumn. West Book 2 will also be released mid-year. Meanwhile, Cheverton has three new series starting - The Whale House (art by Chris Doherty), The End (FH Navarro) & Month of Sundays (David Frankum). Wow.

“And if that wasn’t enough, he also has a story in the new Accent UK anthology with a difference – Who On Earth Was Thaddeus Mist? (Details at the Accent UK blog)”

Lumped together like that, it does look like a busy year, but this is a culmination of my finally working on scripts for longform comic projects, coupled with finally getting together with some like-minded artists who can bring their talents to bear on them.

I’m spoiled in a way, working with Tim Keable on West. We’ve been friends now for almost two decades, and he’s a consummate artist, drawing whatever I throw at him. Trying to find artists who will commit to years of working on a comic series with you is not easy. But West has also recently brought me into contact with artists who want to draw comics that I write (and in the case of AccentUK, editors who asked me to write for them). That’s a humbling and elating feeling, and Chris, Felipe and David are going to make these comics so much better for their presence. 

So yes - 2012 should see (providing the Mayans were mistaken) the beginnings of three new series that Angry Candy will publish (or co-publish) alongside the continuing adventures of Jerusalem West (Points West and September (now called Autumn Dusk)). We all hope you’ll join us.
