Whatever happened to Channel Evil?

Renegade Arts Entertainment will be releasing all it's comics digitally through graphic.ly
They offer FREE software ideal for reading comics on pc's, mac's, and ipad's (android and windows mobile coming soon).
And it'll cost you just $.99(63p approx) for each comic.

You'll also be able to download - as of October 15Th - all titles direct from the Renegade website as cbz format comics, again for $.99.

Channel Evil #1 is available on graphic.ly now, with issue 2 up before the end of the month.

In 2011 the series will be collected and published, and Alexander is working out a method of rebate/discount on the trade for anyone who downloads all four issues.
A deal not to be sniffed at, eh?

A taster of the second issue...

The Finished Line

The best line in my studio, is the one made from string, pinned from wobbly bookshelf-to-bookshelf.

Rather than have the completed pages of art on my rubbish tip floor or in overstuffed folders, i like to peg them up. It's a quick and easy way to scan and grab, and stops me bending my poor back so much.

But most of all, it's a massive morale booster walking into the room and seeing 22 pages of FINISHED art looking back at ya.

Channel Evil #2 is done and gone and in the hands of letterer Jamie Grant.

Praise the lord! And pass me the whisky...

Pencil and Inks from Channel Evil #2

Channel Evil #1 - Anytime Now!

Got my comps of the first issue. Always a nervous sharp intake of breath/slight puckering of a-hole, when you open a comic you've drawn, you're never too sure how it's gonna look; mebbe the printer had a long liquid lunch that day, pressed the wrong buttons and it printed backwards/upside down/inside out.

But, i think it's looking pretty good. I'm a proud father. Chuffed. Excuse me if i don't have enuff cigars to go around.

Now, all you've gotta do is BUY IT!

Fine fella and my boss, Alexander Finbow, tells me it's out in the UK from tomorrow(next week at the latest). For some reason that only Dotty Diamond Distributors know, American readers won't see it until June 3rd. It you have problems finding it, bug your comic store-like-hell, or buy direct from Berserker. Hope it hits the spot.

Another unlettered page for a taster.

Got your order in yet?

GASP!

Nothing but tumbleweeds on this ere blog...

On the final leg of inking up Channel Evil #1, and also on my last legs; eternally laid up, tired, undernourished, muttering in tongues, screaming at blank sheets of paper, drooling, hallucinating, giving it up, not giving it up, loving drawing, hating drawing. Am i coming? Am i going? Not sure. But I've put every ounce of what I've got into this book, and I'm hoping it will show.

Not surprisingly, I've got problems with my new A3 scanner, so no full pages until i get some decent photocopy reductions, and anyway, I'm not even supposed to be sitting ere fannying around - i have NO SPARE TIME!

Be careful who/what you channel...

Character sketches of BA'AL from Channel Evil. He's not very nice.

Channel Evil

I want your money! Well, not literally, what i want is for you to go to your local comics store and order the first issue(or all four!) of Channel Evil , it's the new comic I'm working on with Alan Grant, and #1 is due at the end of March.

I'm having a ball drawing it, and it's a thrill and pleasure finally getting to work with Alan, who, if you didn't already know, is something of a 'living legend' in these parts, especially for his early 2000AD work, fan-fave fragger Lobo, and Batman and Judge Dredd crossover(co-writing with John Wagner) Judgement In Gotham. And currently, along with Simon Bisley and Glen Fabry, he's knocking readers for a six with the zombie epic The Dead;Kingdom of Flies, have a look over at http://www.thedeadcomic.com/

I know right now, times are hard for a lot of folk, and money is tight, and there's a helluva lot of product on the shelves, and comics ain't cheap. And the worse thing is Marvel and DC choke out the smaller guys when the economy is fucked, the 'independents' don't get much of a chance. But, if you want to show your support for the NEW, if you're not hooked on mutants, if you fancy something a little different, if you like your horror - horror with wit and bloody relish, or just like seeing me draw some spooky freaky shit(and lots of it!)then put in that order now!

I thank you in advance.

I'll be showing and sharing plenty of art along the way, meantime learn/see more over at http://www.renegadeartsentertainment.com/
