Ah! Gaddafi, supplier to the rich and famous terror groups across the globe. If the French and Israelis won’t sell to you then these chaps probably will…or at least used to anyway.
The weapons featured in this strip are a Benelli SPAS-12 shotgun and a Pakistann license made Rheinmetall MG3 which looks like this and is probably one of the most capable machine guns in the world (gympy not withstanding). True, the Benelli is kind of out of character but who knows what may turn up in those sneaky arms shipments, eh?
In other news (apart from England winning the Ashes back, see below) I have a SERIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT!
Right, that caught your attention. Basically German is very busy for the next two weeks or so which means that we may not get fresh comics until mid to late September! Relax, don’t do it, when you want to go to it because I’m trying to arrange adequate cover thanks to my good friends on t’internet and when has t’internet ever let me down?
Anyway, to recap:
- This will be the last proper page for two/three weeks.
- The comic IS STLL GOING, I WILL be posting on a regular basis to remind you that I’m still here.
- I’m REALLY SORRY!
- We’re getting cover from other artists to help fill the gaps and scratch that Hard Graft itch!

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to gradually reveal my inspirations to the world. Last time I focused on the super and ultra cool world of Kita Koga but this week we’re venturing from the world of print and into the world of the web. Specifically the webcomic: Marilith.
Marilith is written by Krazy Krow and is split into two distinct halfs: Krakow 2.0 (drawn by Krow himself) and then under its own name (drawn by a succession of artists). It follows sexy and astute female assassin Marilith Millions and her “fun” adventures in the shady world of killing people for money.
1.0 was much more dependent on dialogue than art and it probably was what made the comic (and Krow’s) name in webcomics. Most of it is tongue in cheek sarcasm with lots of pop culture humor which hits the right buttons. Kimiko and Valentino are the two who make it what it is but both go through development while Marilith stays constant throughout all the change going on about her.
I think it was with 2.0 that Krow started to spread his wings and this was when the action sequences and clever and cool art from the succession of artists came to the fore. The chapter “Interstate intercept” was probably one of the best out of all the Marilith chapters and it sets the bar for action, violence and black comedy for me. I have no idea what happened to John Staton but his art was absolutely epic. Wherever you are mate I salute you!
Its sadly coming to an end but it will be missed in its passing. Check it out now to see what you’ve missed over the years!
And welcome to the start of Issue 2! I told you all that we’d get here eventually, honestly!
All of the feedback I got for the issue finale last week, all of it, was very well received and we’re taking it on board, etc.
The fanbase was split on the new character and specifically her actual looks. Some of it may be a rather abrupt departure from the nature of the comic but there a method to all of this madness and it will be revealed gradually. In the meantime, I’m happy that I’ve stirred up some debate.
Meanwhile, the donation wallpaper is still going. I think its a great piece of work by German and I hope you guys agree!
