Shock Exclusive: Adolf Hitler Eats Human Brains!

A 'Zombie' World War One-era Adolf Hitler, illustrated by PJ Holden for a 2000AD 'Past Imperfect' short story I've recently pitched. 

Busy, Busy, Busy
Coming towards the end of my week off work. A holiday that has been spent writing, pottering about the house and catching up on some reading. (currently loving Errol Flynn's autobiography, 'My Wicked, Wicked Ways')

I've just finished writing the tenth episode of 'Nanas and Custard for Toxic mag - a daffy tale introducing the villainous slapper called Disco Diva. PJ will no doubt do a wonderful visualisation.

Put together three short pitches for 2000AD - a Future Shock, a Terror Tale and a Past Imperfect. Submitted those yesterday morning, so we'll have to wait and see if one of those grabs Tharg's interest.

Found out from Matt Smith @ 2000AD last week that Cam Smith will be illustrating the Alice in Wonderland/Jack the Ripper Past Imperfect tale I wrote for AD. Can't wait to see what he does with it.

Amended a prose short story proposal pitch for Christian at Games Workshop - if it gets the thumbs up, this will be my first prose commission for Inferno! magazine (although I've had a few comic strips appear in the mag)

Although I don't want to jinx anything with specifics, last Friday saw one of the novel pitches I made to Black Flame make it on to its provisonal schedule. Tentative deadline of early-December, with a possible release July/Aug '05. I've tweaked what was requested to be tweaked, and now it's just a case of waiting for the greenlight so that I can start typing.

My first novel - Irk!

Inferno! #43
The latest issue of Inferno! magazine has been listed on the Black Library website. It features my penultimate comic strip for Games Workshop, commissioned and illustrated prior to the cutback on the generation of new material. I've only seen one page so far of The Bad, The Warped & The Insane by Mike Collins - if it's as polished as the job he did on Mundizuma's Revenge, I'll be a very happy bunny. Hopefully some comp copies will be dropping through the post any day now...
