Title: Fearless issue 1 Ships this week
Post by: pauljholden on 05 November, 2007, 09:52:06 AM
RUN down to your comic book store-and buy it, please!

32 Pages, written by Mark 'Grounded' Sable and Dave Roth, artwork by me. Colours by Nick 'Godland' Filardi.

You can read the synopsis, see some preview artwork and look at some backmatter at fearlesscomic.com - since the comic is 32 pages of artwork there's no room for the backmatter / sketches/ etc in the actual comic!

In Belfast's Forbidden Planet. Gotta check the time, but it'll be day time (probably lunch time ish) - for a couple of hours. You'll be able to buy Fearless, Previously and, if they have some back issues, the recent issue of 2000AD I was in. I'll be sketching for as long as they let me.

Picked up a copy today.  Fantastic cover, and some lovely art inside.  'Fear' is quite an original looking hero.

I don't read many American comics so the story itself seemed a bit simple, but it did set up the whole character, motivations, friends and foes.  Personally, I'd lose a couple of pages of art with tighter storytelling and have those pages of banter, but then I don't have an Image comic book :)

Imagine Bruce Wayne was a nervous wreck, but with a special drug he could still get by as a superhero.  It's an odd (dare I say brave?) choice for a superhero but I suspect that will be part of his own personal battle.

Story wasn't really my cup of tea - What is?  I don't even like tea - but it was nice to see and there you go, PJ is a proper international comic book star.

Worth a punt.

Heh. Story gets VERY twisty by issue 2 / 3 and the final.

Cheers

Is it a mini-series then?

looks good PJ, I'll watch out for it

Four issue. Although they've dropped the '..of four' from the cover - I assume because readers, these days, think 'four issue mini-series - ok, I'll wait for the trade'. (Which I've seen said already about fearless). Course a trade will only happen if the comic sells enough or gets enough critical interest - there's no guarantee of any trade. (No one has mentioned the possibility of a trade, yet)

Fearless Comic Website has some unused artwork as well as other bits that you might find interesting if you've already read the comic.

Ah the extra page count makes sense now.

Really impressed with the work you've put into the site.

Anything that deserves the modifier 'Spirit-esque' deserves my hard earned cash.

Good feature in the new Meg, sums up the story better than I could.  And as you can see from the article, nice pics.

That, Mr Holden, is some good shit, right there.

At this rate, you'll soon be good enough to issue that final part of Live Bait that I'm not letting you draw.

Cheers!
