Well guys, its finally here!

The culmination of several months work is back from the printers, and it looks absolutely awesome, if I do say so myself. :) My collaborators on this project have put their all into turning in some fantastic-looking pages, and the whole thing sits together really well. The only thing to do now is attempt to sell a few copies to you fine fellow comics fans, so we can share the results of all our hard work with you. 

Click <a href="http://vanguardcomic.blogspot.com">here</a>
for ordering information (and some previews if you haven't already seen them).

I've tried to keep the price as low as possible whilst also attempting to garner back some of the printing costs. And just so you know, here's what you get for your money:

24 pages of  shiny comic goodness!
8 noir- styled pages of femme fatale action by David Blankley!
7 mind-tripping pages of fantasy action featuring Gryphons and Smoke Angels by Cthulouis!
6 wonderful panels of dark humour by El Chivo!
5 greyscale-tastic pages of donkey-packed mayhem by Crazyfoxmachine!
4 stories featuring a mix of sci-fi, fantasy, humour and horror!
3 preview panels from the next installments of our stories!
2 pages of atmospheric  gothic art by Chaingunchimp!
and 1 arsom, full colour cover by the one and only Ghostpockets!

How do you like them apples?? :)

Go on, give us a try folks! There's something in here for everyone  and I honestly don't think you'll be disappointed! We need your support and feedback to make sure the next issue is even better!

Cheers!

Where is it?! I ordered mine at least two minutes ago and it still hasn't turned up. GAH!!!



(Can't wait)
An old-school, no-bullshit, boys-own action/adventure comic reminiscent of the 2000ads and Eagles and Warlords and Battles and other glorious black-and-white comics that were so, so cool in the 70's and 80's - Buy the hardback Christmas Annual!

It's all right, that's in every contract.
That's what they call a sanity clause.

Have blogged this, and even committed my first tweet. Which, you know, kind of makes me feel dirty...

Gargh! You have disturbed me from my lurk-slumber!

Can't wait to get my mitts on this, I will have to wait a bit longer though as mine is being hand-delivered by a Canadian mountie. Anybody who views this thread and doesn't get a copy of Vanguard immediately is a fool. and I hereby swear to send my Poltergeese to haunt them for as penance for their insolence. You hath been warn'ed!

Oh, and of course I must present Mr Van Dom with the coveted GhostPockets Seal of Approval...

I cant think of any other way to critique the art on the cover other than to say it has a kind of Pop Art look about it partly because of the bright colors and its weird but in a good way.The Beauty and the Beast typeface doesnt really fit with the rest of it unfortunately.

I am tempted to give this a try.

Glad I've been ablet to tempt you Peter! That's definately a win in my book! Now...is there anything I can do to turn that temptation into a sale? :) If you aren't QUITE convinced about taking a chance, maybe I can do something with the price for you - drop me a pm and I'm sure we can negotiate something. That goes for everyone. I've had a good few orders already from some very kind individuals (thank you guys!) but I'd really like to get this out to more of you, as - lets face it - everybody here is my target audience. I'm definately up for a bit of haggling, if needs be, so just get in touch and we can bash something out. Cheers guys
