No More Heroes is my recently-launched debut comic. Here's the teaser ad for it:



It's a four issue mini-series with a twisty turny plot and lots of dark humour. Even if you think the plot's a bit guff (it's not! Honest!) I can safely bet you'll like Caio's artwork (I might have to chain him down to make sure he finishes the issues before a publisher nabs him).

You can read the first ten pages for free on our website: http://nomoreheroescomic.wordpress.com/.

Congratulations on the publicity, fingers crossed the piracy helps raise your profile and shift a few copies (as has happened before):

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

So what's the future plans?

How many issues?
Collected edition?

Thank you for the kind words!

Glad to hear you liked the first issue, Alski. It's a four issue series. Art for issue two's nearly complete. We're talking about doing a collected edition but right now the focus is on trying to get a publisher to pick it up. Then Hollywood!  :D

the only downer for me is the black and white art. Looks like it really wants to be coloured in.

Bought a copy of this at the Glasgow comic mart the other week, and really enjoyed it.

Real professional quality-level stuff, which - frankly - isn't something you can say about most self-published/small press work.

Recommended.

Mine has just arrived through the modern miracle of the post. Tis a good yarn with lovely B&W art.

The Justice department has a good re-education programme-it's called five to ten in the cubes.

Thank you again for all the positive responses. It's a real relief that no one's called it a "bag of bollocks" yet or something like that.

R.E. the black and white art - yeah, I wanted it to be coloured too, but the whole thing was self funded be me using a mixture of redundancy money and the sale of my Playstation games and I just couldn't afford the extra costs of colouring and having the issue printed in full colour. However, if a publisher picks it up I will definitely hire a colourist.

I have just placed an order for issue 1 - looking forward to it!

This looks really good. Are you going to be at the Thought Bubble festival in Leeds this November? I'd definitely be looking to pick this up there if you are.

My copy arrived this morning (thanks for the quick delivery!) - haven't read it yet but first impressions are very good - classy production and excellent, professional quality artwork.

Everyone should order a copy, this is worth supporting and is great value for £3.

GordyM

Thank you, Radiator! A wise man who speaks the truth. :D

Thought Bubble - I'll possibly be at it, though it's too early to give a definite answer yet. The Cons I can say I'll definitely be at so far are Kapow and the Glasgow Comic Con.
