The Chefs Of Death Kickstarter Campaign - A New Comic Inspired by Doomlord

[nxylas]

Worth considering that the Dan Dare Corporation might have ownership of Doomlord as IP in addition to the printed material/licensing. So whilst they won't have any ownership of the photographic representation of the mask, costume, hands or ring, they might have it of the name.

Yep. I was only referring to his fizzog. Using the mask in conjunction with the name would almost certainly cause a bit more of a problem.

Which presumably is why the strip doesn't do that, or at least not the bits reproduced here.

Well I just tried it on for the first time since I bought it and had a go at a couple of photos. Now my face smells weird too.

Aw man, I'd love to include one in the comic as a secret extra - I wouldn't mention the character's name or anything like that, just sneak you in to the background of one shot!

[Fortnight]

I'll send you a message through Kickstarter

Can't tell you how excited I am about this!

So the new Kickstarter campaign for the second issue of The Chefs Of Death is now live on Kickstarter, and there's also another comic available too, Hawk Issue 1982, with all profits going to @MindCharity. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alexfinch/the-chefs-of-death-issues-1-and-2

Once again they're photo comics inspired by the 1980's Eagle, with The Chefs Of Death featuring a guest starring role from a character we've called God but who you might recognise from elsewhere, as well as non-fictional industry cameos from 2000AD's Steve MacManus and John Higgins, the man who launched the Eagle comic and also edited Roy of the Rovers and Tiger, Barrie Tomlinson, and Will Preston, the co-host of the much loved podcast Marvel Versus Marvel, and I hope to add more to that list soon.



Hawk issue 1982 has been created to look like an issue of a long running anthology comic, and includes the following four page strips: The Chefs Of Death II, Arcade Gamer, Nicodemus In Space, The Autobiography Of A Ghost Child, The Peavaarkar Wars and Janey And The Devil, though all of these have been written so that new readers (eg. everyone!) will be able to completely understand the storylines. A completely free 13 page sampler comic of Hawk Issue 1982 can be downloaded here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/pf2dlnlg88erlow/Hawk_Photo_Comic_1982_Sampler.pdf/file

While I'm somewhat egotistically proud of both comics, and our very special guest star especially, I'm also particularly happy with how the Computer Warrior spoof came out, so thought I'd post it below:

The first one was a lot of fun. Backed! I don't remember Computer Warrior so checked out the Wikipedia entry for it. Another Wagner/Grant, ran for years, blimey.

Thank you for your kind words and support, it's greatly appreciated. And I didn't know Computer Warrior was a Wagner / Grant series, but that explains why it was such a lot of fun!

[Colin YNWA]

I thought I'd booked the first one and by some fumble on my part hadn't which I only confirmed when it was too late.

This one is therefore happily back and I'm catching up to boot!

No worries! Is the mostly cat-based series Nicodemus in Space riffing on something in particular?

Thank you, that's enormously appreciated too.

Not really, no, Nicodemus is a friend's cat who I cat sit for twice a year and I originally made it as a one page strip as I thought she'd find it funny, but then started really enjoying making a bizarre cat based space soap opera.

[Jimmy Baker's Assistant]

There was, of course, a classic 80s cat-based comic strip.

"When the purring stopped..."

Genius.

[Doomlord66]

In the 70's there was Fat Freddy's cat



Supposed to be a pic but I can never get them to work

Ha, I'd forgotten about that, but fortunately Nicodemus is a friendly soul so there's no chance of my paying homage to it!
