…they’ve arrived!
They’ve arrived in one piece and they do look pretty decent with no issues apart from actual design. Next time I do something like this I’m going to spend months making sure the cover, the contents and the end pages (basically every page apart from the actual content) looks 100% awesome. Book one will not be as rushed as this.
That said, I’m proud of it regardless and the cover is stunning I think. So I’ll be selling it at the 2010 Webcomix Thing at Mile End, London on Saturday for £3.50 and I’ll throw in a postcard and a badge for free! I may also throw in a fridge magnet!
For those who can’t make it and are in North America, the charge will be £6 which will include P&P, a postcard and a badge!
I’ll be putting up a paypal link soon but just to let you all know there will be SIX COPIES AVAILIBLE PLUS WHATEVER IS LEFT OVER FROM SATURDAY! I’ll have a better idea on the Sunday when I do a final stock take.
So, who wants a comic?
Strong opinions abound in this strip right from the start.
Now, some of the references here may not get the most..uh..positive of reactions but to put this in perspective: these aren’t the views of either the author or the artist whoever they may be. We’re looking into some of Bernadette’s motivations and we’re getting some of Alan’s professional views into the bargain. That is worth more than its weight in gold.
If you want me to play devils advocate then yes, while both the British Army and Loyalist paramilitaries caused or committed some of the most infamous acts of death and misery in the Troubles I think Bernadette does have a point when you have groups who believe in indiscriminate killing regardless of religion or political affiliation or even nationality then you’ve officially given up the moral high ground. For those who have romantic but ultimately false visions of some sort of heroic “struggle” look no further than the women of the Bogside or Free Derry who were tarred & feathered, I say again tarred & feathered for the crime of being friendly to British Soldiers.
Everyone have their skeletons.
On a lighter note, I thought I’d re-iterate that I’ll be at table number 63 at the UK Webcomix Thing 2010 in Mile End, London on the 27th of March! I’ve already ordered 100 postcards as well as a nice display poster so you won’t confuse me for the utterly superb work that Rose Loughran does at Red Moon Rising.

Next year, I’ll be running a table at the London Webcomix Thing 2010 in March and I want to sell some books. I’ve chosen a 50 page A5 book model would be a pretty good way to go initially. It’ll cover the first two issues and an 8 page side story.
But! Inevitably there will be some left over to sell to fans who can’t make it to Webcomix Thing 2010 so I was wondering what would people pay for this including postage. Please vote in the poll below..
For the record, postage will be about £2.70 for first class overseas smal packet.
