The Stick-Man Christmas Special (2011)

Unfortunately, this year's annual Stick-Man Christmas Special has been cancelled. I now hand you over to Stick-Man himself, who'll explain why...

Iced Scream!

I did this drawing yesterday featuring Uncle Terry, star of '80s comic strip, "Monster", which appeared in the '80s UK horror comic, "Scream!"...



Handsome chap, isn't he? It's not the first time I've drawn a Christmas message featuring characters from Scream. Here's one I did of Max, (from The Thirteenth Floor), and Ghastly McNasty, (editor), a couple of years ago...



You can, of course, find out more about Scream at the Back From The Depths website.

It's back (from the depths),
it's horrible,
and it's flippin' huge!

The Back From The Depths 2011 HALLOWSCREAM! Hallowe'en Special is available now and totally free to download!

112 pages of peril and paranormality for your perusal behind a fangtastic cover pic by Andrew Milne! This year's issue features a slew of ghosts, ghoulies and gory things, including a sequel to the controversial Speed Date by Dirk Van Dom, (now a short film), a Vampire Vixens of The Wehrmacht pin-up by 2000ad artist Alex Ronald, (a Vampire Vixens collection should be available next year), and a story by Huw Evans which explains precisely what it is about this scary stuff that appeals to some of us.

You can download it from BACK FROM THE DEPTHS, CLICKWHEEL or DROPBOX, or view it online at MYEBOOK, (login required for myebook due to gory content).

HAUNTED Magazine Issue X

The tenth issue of HAUNTED magazine, (Nov/Dec 2011), is now on sale at selected branches of WH Smith and newsagents across the UK.

Among its wonderfully eclectic mix of articles and features on all things paranormal, is an exclusive one-page Hallowscream comic strip by myself, (with a couple of teensy panels by Matthew Soffe and that Ghostpockets chappy).

It's only £3.99 for over a hundred pages. It's rather good. You should probably buy it or something.
