The Zarjaz & Dogbreath Thread.

[Hawkmumbler]

Looks like our Bill and that young Zenith lad....

[Bolt-01]

Yes, it does, doesn't it?

[Montynero]

Very cool, gents. Can't wait!

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Did a review on my personal blog because:

a) I love Zarjaz
b) There are very few decent small press review blogs and I think as a medium self published comics deserve attention and respect and there's nothing more respectful than a constructive review. Shows you've read it and thought about it.

Short version: Get Haward doing more covers/stories, get Mick "Blackmocco" Cassidy doing a long form comic as his storytelling and art are outrageous, sneakily replace Alan Grant with Lee Robson & Dunk Nimmo and Anderson would be great again.

You want the moon on a stick, don't you Owen. The moon on a stick.

[Bolt-01]

Hi Owen, I'll answer points as I can for you.

The Zarjaz logo for issue 16 was by the wonderful Mike Carroll. The man is a genius.
If you check the blog for the 'In the Zone' story- the older chapters are all on there to be read. I'm still waiting for the last chapter to be written... Yeah, Mike- lookin' at you!

BlackMocco will indeed be back and there is a very long in the development strip from Robson & Nimmo that I'm looking forward to.

[CrazyFoxMachine]

Looking forward to that - !

I've updated the blog to reflect Mr Carroll designing the logo and the fact that In the Zone 1 & 2 are online - an elegant and generous solution to the multiple parts problem!

[Dunk!]

very long in the development strip

Oh sweet holy blimey yes.

Apologies.

Dunk!

[Bolt-01]

No need to apologise, just make it more awesome.

btw- new Zarjaz next week. Previews soon and then you'll realise why we call it Zarjaz!

[hendersong]

Daft question from a noob...are the stories in Zarjaz ongoing or can I pick up the latest issue and not have to worry about having no idea what's going on?

[Bolt-01]

Not a daft question at all.

At Zarjaz we 'try' to have no ongoing serials. If a story has multiple parts we will do our best to have the whole thing in a single issue.

The way we see it is that even at three times a year- serials in SP books are hellish to run. All too often real life gets in the way.

So if you want to try an issue, Zarjaz 19 should be on sale this time next week (Printer and webmeister permitting) so you'll be able to try an issue yourself.

[Proudhuff]

you really should start pimping that....

[Bolt-01]

Huff- wait till Friday...

[Proudhuff]

Huff- wait till Friday...

Every now and then we at Zarjaz are pitched a story we can't really do in Zarjaz proper, for many, many reasons. This is a collection of stories that either could not, or should not exist. It is also one of the finest issues we have ever compiled. Warning- This comic may hurt you:

Strips:


Judge Death- Personal Business. 5 pages by writer Richard McAuliffe and artist Roland Bird

   
Kingdom. 3 pages by writer Richard McAuliffe and artist Roland Bird.


M.A.C.H. 3- Conflagration. 3 pages by writer Derek Hamill and artist John Hutcheson   


Mechanismo. 12 pages by writer Derek Hamill and artist Mike Bunt   


Robo-Hunter- Slade B.C.P.D. 8 pages by writer Dirk Van Dom and artist Mike Bunt


Rogue Trooper- I Am Mad But North North West. 5 pages by writer Dan Hill and artist David Broughton   


Savage/Zenith. 6 pages by writer Chris Denton and artist Dave Frankum

Add to this a superb look at the creation of the book's cover and this would be superb value if we demanded double for it, however you can get it for only £3.00 in print from the FQP webshop or for £2.00 as a digital download from Comicsy!
