New! FutureQuake & MangaQuake.

[Bolt-01]

Coming from the printers this week in time for the convention in Bristol, FutureQuake 10 and MangaQuake 06.

The Eagle award finalist (You have remembered to vote haven't you?) FutureQuake reaches its 10th issue in style with the usual 48 pages of top quality strips including...


A panel from Star Struck by Paul Scott and Chris Geary.

Love is not wrong by 'Empty' and newcomer Sophia Grant (Fresh from the artist portfolio review at the first Hi-Ex convention last february)

The FQP Shop.

Ha, I'd almost forgotten about that.  Chris did a great job on art.

Thanks for picking the most disturbing image from the strip :)

A panel from The prophet by Derek Hamill and Andy Scordellis.

Also, the shop is now updated for the new comics, so if you can't make Bristol, but want your fix of FQ, visit the shop!

Thanks for picking the most disturbing image from the strip... PVS  you've lost a bit of wieght in that picture!

My 'Not going to Bristol' order is now in and eagerly awaited.

Tulkas.

[James]

You gonna have comp copies at Bristol (if your still doing a contributor comp)?

[Bolt-01]

Dunk- Order received, thanks.

James- Comps are certainly available at Bristol. The only title I'm not doing comps for is the family special. It has cost me too much to get these printed (48 pages, full colour for a pound) so if you want one, you have to put yer hand in your pocket.

A WHOLE POUND? FOR 48 PAGES OF STAGGERINGLY GOOD STRIP BY SOME OF THE WORLD'S TOP SMALL PRESS TALENT INCLUDING ME? ARE YOU MAD!?!?!?

I may come for the saturday for a couple of hours, if so I'll drop by and say howdy.

[Bolt-01]

Yup, one WHOLE pound. And this isn't going to be in the shop either. The way Paypal works it isn't worth it.

[Dunk!]

Opps and there's me sending you a pound vis PayPal to pop one in with my order.

What more can i do to secure this coloured reprint of work i gave for free in the first place? :)

Dunkas!

[Bolt-01]

Dunk- and anyone else, if you really want a copy of the special- which I really believe is well worth more than a pound, but I want to be able to sell this to kids; then send me £1.50 via the paypal and I'll happily sort it.

Except for Dunk- as you've already paid for one...

Y'know- I remember when I was just an ignorant pencil monkey- happily scribbling my life away and dreaming of breaking into comics...

Ah, who am I kiddin' this publishing game is the best fun I've ever had, and cheaper than golf!

Bolt-01

[Proudhuff]

Bolt me orders in, what do you mean Bristol comes first?

[Bolt-01]

Don't fret- I'll be harvesting comics that are paid for up front out of the stock.

Hopefully I'll get these in the post asap.

Actually Bolt, Mr. Bamforth's lovely cover there reminds me that I must give you that magazine I've been meaning to pass on to you for about four months...

This family issue sounds interesting - got any more info?

[Adrian Bamforth]

I'd been waiting for the chance to draw a comic cover for years, you know, to really show off my drawing and composition skills, then when it finally happens what do I draw? The planet Earth and a knife and fork.
