The first Necessary Monsters trade paperback is coming out in February from
AiT/PlanetLar. The book collects the complete story so far, including updated artwork across all five chapters and a brand new introduction by
Kieron Gillen (Phonogram, S.W.O.R.D, Thor). The book is available for pre-order via your local comic shop using Diamond order code DEC09 0641. Alternatively you can purchase via your online retailer of choice –
Forbidden Planet in the UK and
Amazon in the US seem like good choices.
If you’ve enjoyed reading the series online, myself and Sean would really appreciate you showing that support by ordering a copy of the print edition. Sean needs to eat, and I need to install a new Jacuzzi in my private Helijet. Hell, tell all your friends to order a copy too - Helijet Jazcuzzi’s don’t grow on trees you know.

I was hoping to have a stockpile of pages to see me through this period, but not.
So, from now until sometime in February, i will not be updating this space. I have loads of work shifts, then a move, then Angouleme….
I will carry on with the 100 days, but if i feel that the momentum has gone, then i will bow out.
I’m really excited about this move, the new place is really inspiring, and i really hope to develop my drawing/writing.
Recently i have been really hung up about the fact that my comic skills are not earning me any money, therefore i must be indulging in an expensive hobby.
Now, i don’t care, what will be will be.
Daniel is writing a new Monsters book, and i also have my own stuff bubbling.
Good, good times
See you in a week or so…

I thought it might be time, now it’s over half way through,to organise my 100 days comic pages.
So far there are four different categories.
Malta comic con 2009. ( This is recreating events around my trip to Malta last year).
Year 43. ( This is my yearly autobio page dump, the tile being my age).
Sketchbook 3. ( The third in a scintillating line of sketchbooks).
Black Leather
Apart from the odd comment, and conversations with friends, i have no idea if they work.
Not using any tone and or colour can make the appearance seem stark. I do intend to return to some pages and give a bit of finish in this regard.
I’m attempting to improve my storytelling and layout, and there has been some interesting results. But, i think i need to bit bolder in both areas.
This has been a very dry assessment of what has been a very exciting process so far.
Night!
