Gordon Rennie. There, I said it.

Sheesh.

Hi Robin - as it happens no, mainly due to FutureQuake & Something Wicked being closed to scripts.

What we 'have' had is a spike in artists delivering work. The extra time at home that some folk have had has allowed some artists to deliver work early. Zarjaz especially has benefitted from that situation.

Thanks

See, there 'was' a reason.

Thanks for clearing that up Steven - I remember seeing this on your table at TB so to have it as a prog cover now shows just how far in advance TMO thinks.

Clap, clap clap.

Eamonn is spot-on here. The amount of folk talking as if this is all over is frankly, astounding.

Yup - I agree. I could see that being a big hit.

[Hey Squaxx - special heads-up!]

Hey Squaxx - special heads-up!

FQP are pleased to announce that from today, June 3rd to August 31st they are open to new scripts.

FQP titles FutureQuake and Something Wicked are two premiere level titles with a focus on new talent & developing talent and a proven track record in help new creatives hone their skills. Scripts are being welcomed for both titles- script length of ideally 4-6 pages with a 'twist' in the tail.

The 2000 AD fanzines Dogbreath & Zarjaz are still open to scripts so there is room for writers of all levels to contribute.

Note that all scripts will be read in the order received and only short stories are being sought. FQP do not publish serials or complete graphic novels.

If accepted, writers will be informed of the next steps towards getting the script commissioned and turned into a comic strip.

Currently both titles can accommodate around 40 strips a year, so it may be that scripts have a significant delay between acceptance and commission. If that is an issue to you, keep in touch with editorial to see where you are in the lists.

Send all script submissions to futurequakepress@googlemail.com and good luck.

I've adjusted the number and Tag-line, so things should tie-up better now. I'm not reading spoiler threads till I get my prog.

Praise be to TMO and all the droids for keeping it together and getting the prog out.

I'd love to know what the rationale is for the cover design this week. I don't get the black box at all. Why not crop into Steve's linework? There must be a reason, so I'm just wondering.

Wedgski - Pushing Ice is a personal Fave of mine from Mr Reynolds.

I've got both Permafrost and Bone silence in my read pile of his.

Garth Ennis.

heh - 'which' 3 & 4?

There were two runs of Zarjaz - the original run is Approx A4 sized while the current run is A5.
