I’ve been part of Sector 13 Comics, a gang of creative people based in Belfast who publish group anthologies as well as comics by our members. This month we launched three new comics at the Enniskillen Comic Festival, one of which was all my own work.
Penny Blood and Other Stories is a 52-page anthology featuring three stories:
*Penny Blood, a continuation of my Victorian alien invasion story from Sector 13’s previous anthology, Anno Domini 1900
*John Landlorn Beyond the Sundering Strait, a fantasy story about a medieval knight lost in a strange land
*A Virtual Circle, a 1990s tech thriller about virtual reality conspiracies.
Faces of War, our group anthology, is nearly 100 pages of war stories, behind a cover by Will Simpson. Features Shell Shock, by Ryan McVeigh and me; Verdammt Major by Will; The Kings Reach Commandos by Paul Trimble and Joseph McCafferty, and many others.
The Gift, by legendary cartoonist Davy Francis, is a wordless picture book that will appeal to fans of classic British humour comics and American superhero comics alike, with a touching message about found families.
If you’d like to buy any of them, visit the Sector 13 Comics website.
Aside from that, our friend Ryan McVeigh also had a new comic out, Tales of Monster Mayhem. Three monster stories written by Ryan, with art by Ciaran Duke, Dave Metcalfe-Carr and the mysterious Dethzon, behind a cover by me.
This one’s available from Ryan’s website.
