Charlatan Tales

Interior page samples...

I began selling the first issue of new comic material 'Charlatan Tales' in the Comic Village at London ComicCon MCM Expo at the weekend. It contains a number of self-contained stories and is printed in colour and black and white.

Here's a shot of me at the convention (covering up a facial bruise/graze I got from falling off a mate's bike the night before the convention, perfect timing!)...

It can be bought online through Etsy, Ebay and Big Cartel.

It can also be bought in-store at these comic shops:

• Sub City, 2 Exchequer Street, Dublin 2, Dublin (available from 30/05/12)
• Orbital Comics, 8 Great Newport Street, London, WC2H 7JA (available from 30/05/12)
• Mega City Comics, Inverness Street Markets, 18 Inverness Street, Camden Town, London, NW1 7HJ
• OK Comics, 19 Thornton's Arcade, Briggate, Leeds, LS1 6LQ
• Gosh!, 1 Berwick Street, London, W1F 0DR

A big thanks to David McAtamney for giving me a fun wee script to work with for one of the tales and also to Stuart Gould at UK Comics Creative for supplying hassle-free printing.

Call Centre Escape

Here's a first page of a 6-pager I've wrapped up.

It's scripted by David McAtamney, both of us had post-college experience of working in the same barn-like satanic mill call centre in Belfast (although at different times) so demons were being exorcised here in script and art.



And the original pencils...



This is going to go into the next issue of 'Random', which I'll have out for London Comic-Con Expo at the end of May as I've got a table booked in the Comic Village section, looking forward to it!

David's got a music blog 'Weekly Rations' which has some great music mixes and odds and sods, check out his live recording post if you want to hear three grown men descend down the evolutionary chain in real-time through mass alcohol consumption.

This post is dedicated to all people who have worked or do work in call centres.
