Love the implied Union Flag... please tell me I'm not reading to much into a bunch of explosions and some legs!

Having had the pleasure of lettering a lot of this- I'm very much looking forward to seeing the finished product. There is a strip Steve has drawn, featuring Napoleon of all people, that is just exquisite to behold.

I've been lettering for Massacre for a good while and they are some of the best comics around.

Highly recommended.

You've also done an amazing job as the artist on The Crusader in all four issues. I particularly love how the latest episode has turned out. Thanks for everything, we really couldn't have done it without you!

We won't have a table there, but several of the creators are attending in other capacities, so I'm sure if you wanted to pick up a copy at Thought Bubble that could easily be arranged.

I can now confirm that Futurequake Press will be carrying a small selection of MFB titles at Thought Bubble this year.

Our thanks - once again - to Bolt for offering his valuable table space. Also, FQP titles are great so would expect any sane TB visitor to be making a beeline for their stand.

Massacre For Boys: The Last Stand is now available on Comicsy, alongside the three preceding instalments:

http://www.comicsy.co.uk/massacreforboys/

It really is the last stand as we've decided not to produce any further issues. Fortunately we were able to finish the story arc we were trying to weave in amongst all the war, action and animal hat-making.

Our thanks to everyone who supported us. Hopefully we'll be collecting everything (including the three issues of Walking Wounded) into The Massacre For Boys Book For Boys.

I can confirm I've got a stash of MFB comics for selling at TB this weekend. Quantities are limited (actually- with the parking I've had to organise for this weekend ALL stock is limited) but the quality is not.
