Twisted Tales Preview
So here’s a taster of the first Twisted Tales. I’ll let you know when it’s out. Once it’s published I won’t be able to post it here so don’t miss it. Technically I shouldn’t even be showing this but since it’ll pull in a bunch of new readers I’m sure its cool.
I didn’t explain in the last post that the stories are self contained silent stories like Amperduke. I have 8 great stories worked out. My biggest concern is that I’ll paint myself into a corner like M.Night Shamalan, that dude was the biz straight out of the trap but steadily fucked it up for himself and now he’s a joke.
I’ve been working on the two new ones constantly for the past couple of weeks and they’re looking swell. One of them is in colour. Hopefully the fans will like them, Future Shocks were always my favourite because you got a full story into you and weren’t left hanging. They have the contents up the top of the cover now so you can see which stories are running which is a great idea.I always said they should have a symbol on the cover to say there’s a self contained story in the Prog because when I stopped buying it in the mid 90’s, I wouldn’t buy it if I saw it because I knew it was full of serials and hard to jump in to a story that’s 6 instalments old.
Check out the previous post, my first submission to Galaxy’s Greatest back in 2000(AD).

Looking damn good dude, be sure to post up when the progs with your stories in them are due to hit the shelves so we don’t miss them.
That third panel reminds me a lot of V For Vendetta, in a good way. Was that deliberate?

Delighted to hear it’s going to be a “silent”. Not because I don’t like your wordeens, of course, but more because you do the “silent” thing so damn well. Nice to see the Galaxy’s Greatest opting for something a little bit different.

Nice one, Nah Kyle, by no means a nod to V for Vendetta. Never actually read all of that. I’m a comics heathen! I know nothing about them really. Line work? That was done when I first got Painter and was finding my feet, the new
stuff is tighter than a baby ducks bum bum

“..V for Vendetta. Never actually read all of that. I’m a comics heathen! I know nothing about them really.”

ah man I’m a complete dope when it comes to comics, only read some Crumb about a year ago and I’m kicking myself because I’ve learned so much from him. It’s terrible, I get a discount and free shit from the shops in Dublin and I STILL don’t read that much comics. Never read Watchmen either and there are many massive gaps in what I know I should read.

[...] Just got word from Tharg that my first Twisted Tales will be in the next prog; number 1536 bitch. I’m doing a signing in Sub City next week on the 11th or the 12th I think so come down and get a back rub off me. There’s another signing in Sub City Galway in June too for Freak Show. [...]
