The Zarjaz, Dogbreath & FQP comics thread

[DrJomster]

Thanks for the pimpery! Been horribly busy at work for a fair few months, but now... it's SHOPPING TIME! This all looks GREAT!

[Bolt-01]

Glad you like it Dr J, got plenty more to pimp over the next few days!

And many thanks for the order, too. Always a pleasure to send comics to Squaxx!

Remember it is Small Press day tomorrow, folk! Drop by your local comic shop and support all those hard working self publishers and other small press types.

And if your local doesn't carry FQP- ask 'em why?

Well, after a weekend working at the Small Press coal face, I'm back with another pair of previews for the new FQ:

From Tiny Acorns Written by Alexi Conman Art by newcomer Richard Waugh

and a preview from the latest chapter of Idea Space: All Good Things Written by JJ Robinson Art by Darren Stephens which sees things rapidly approach the conclusion...

As always- these strips, and many others, form part of the new FutureQuake- on sale now at the FQP Webshop.

The time has come for a new Daily strip!

The latest issue of the longest continually published 2000 AD fanzine- Dogbreath- is about to drop. To celebrate that fact we've gotten writer Lee Robson and art bot RoboMonkey147 to provide us with:

The strip will be posted daily over at the 'Daily Zarjaz' Thread-

You lucky Squaxx!

Makes for a 'very' satisfying read.

Well I've always wanted to draw comics. My first published work I believe was in Futurequake. I've had a few in there along with a couple of stories in Dogbreath. Can't thank those guys enough. Futurequake gives aspiring writers and artists a platform to show their work. I can't recommend them enough to anyone wanting a chance to showcase their work. Brilliant comics. I've also had work published in 100% Biodegradable. Again, these guys are awesome for anyone interested in working in comics. British small press is where loads of professionals get the start they need.

Ditto - lovely words and well deserved. It's almost as if the small press ISN'T destroying comics

And I mean every word of it.

[Bolt-01]

Yeah, just look at it.


That cover is a thing of beauty and as of tomorrow it is available to buy from the FQP Webshop

Massive thanks to Pye Parr for agreeing to do this when I cornered him at the 40th and for all the work he put in. Dogbreath is a work of love for all concerned and that is why it is the longest continually published 2000 AD fanzine. All the rest are mere pretenders.

Really good review for FQ2017 by John Freeman over at Down The Tubes.

[Dandontdare]

First thing I do at every Thought Bubble is to stock up on all my FQP goodies, so be sure to bring a stack!

[Bolt-01]

Cheers DDD, and that is what all good comic fans should do. These comics take a hell of a long time to produce, and the price they are sold at is indicative of the fact that we are not in this game to make money (100 pages for 6.50gbp- average of around 20 strips- that's value) so every copy sold is needed to keep the titles viable.

However- you don't want to hear me whinge-

today I bring you Thrills!

Now available to order: Something Wicked 2017.

A superb cover by rising star Dan Cornwell sets the tone for this issue!

Can you feel it? The season has changed, the nights are drawing closer and there is a chill in the air. Time to hunker down and read the latest collection of tales from Something Wicked. Among the strips in this issue we visit with demons, take a leisurely stroll in the woods, and then, following a major morning after the night before we discover that some things shouldn't be on social media.
