[Hookjaw #5]

Had assumed there was another issue so Hookjaw #5 ending took me a bit by surprise. This series has been a bit of a moist octopus for me. Far from Spurrier's best.

Inversely I've loved it. It's been years since I've followed a floppy so I've really enjoyed seeing the tale unfold. I think Spurrier and Boyle have done a bang-up job and I'd be happy to see them tell another tale.

Yup, welcome aboard.

'Nuff said. Move along.

... 'I'm only in it for the money' ? If that's the way you really feel, have the decency to keep it to yourself.

I think you may well be in a minority with that opinion.

Bhuna- thanks for the offer but I'm hoping Steve will have a copy for me at the Edgbaston gig this weekend...

Positronic- I have to disagree completely with you here. The working method employed by Ron Smith is genius. That he was able to make it work for him for so many years is a testament to both his artistic skill and his storytelling genius.

Many artists these days would do well to learn from the life experiences of these giants of commercial art.

Sadly I can't get there but this sounds like a cracking chance to spend some decent time with comic creators.

Bhuna- Are you going to have any copies of Killing Moon there?
Steve Tanner will probably have copies of Flintlock- including the brand new issue I've not got yet.

Go on, pop along.

Thanks for replying We66y- PM on its way...

20 issues is a good milestone, Davey!

The Comic Festival returns to Birmingham this weekend.

This is the third year for this event and will see some 2000 AD creators in attendance:
Nick Percival
Alan Grant (health allowing)
Greg Staples
Rufus Dayglo
Ryan Brown
Montynero

Also in attendance will be the mighty FQP, selling the latest issues of FutureQuake & Something Wicked as well as all the issues available for the galaxies greatest fanzines ZARJAZ & DOGBREATH!

Hi, I've got a seven page strip for FutureQuake that is all drawn, but I'd like to see the pages with grayscale on.

If there is anyone out there who would be interested in doing this, please get in touch. I 'could' do it myself, but I would prefer someone with actual talent...

As usual for FQP, we cannot afford to actually pay, but a contributor pdf of the entire comic will be your reward- alongside my respect and gratitude.

You can get me with a PM here or reply and I'll PM you.

Ta!

Been a while, but I really need to get back into the habit of drawing so...

Image hosted over on Photobucket.

Scott- have you sent the script to any small press anthologies?

Quite a few of them will be more than happy to give you crit. After all, if you don't get told, you won't learn...

Not sure if any are open for scripts currently but I know for a fact that if you visit the The FutureQuake Blog then once they reopen for scripts you'll be able to send scripts to them.

"Hoagy- that snutting droid has taken my best shot and is still standing- Kidd has just abandoned us so we need to keep quiet and out of sight till it moves away."
"Yup, but that's-"
"No, just shush, okay. I can get us out of here, but I need you to..."

BEEP

"Just."
"Stay."
"Quiet."

"My phone is in the office- there is no way for me to call for back-up"
"Think, Sam... how can you get a message..."
"Yup, Sam I can help."
"Hoagy, how? I disabled your modem after that thing with the pizza delivery bot."

BEEP


"Hoagy..? Hoagy! Get back here behind this wall. If that droid sees you then we are all toast."
"Hoagy!"
"Senor, I don't think he can hear you now; he's too far away..."
"Snut it! Hoagy- you're gonna get us all killed."

BEEP

"Hey, Sam! Yup! The war-droids gone!"
"Then- what's beepin'?"
"That was Captain Kidd's phone, Yup! I saw him drop it when he ran away."

BEEP-

Beedle-Pa-PaBeedle!
Beedle-Pa-PaBeedle!
Beedle-Pa-PaBeedle!
Beedle-Pa-PaBeedle!

"Hi, this is Kidd- I'm probably busy tryin' to prove I'm really an adult somewhere despite lookin' like a toddler- so call me back later."

BEEEEEEEEP

"Sigh."
