As a foil to Mara ANGEL EYES gave us Samael & Sandalphon - a pair of angels who are less than angelic.

Ant Williams smashed the art in ANGEL EYES and brought Mara to life, a demon with a saviour complex & fast mouth. Copies can be found over at the Shift Store: theshift.store/products/ang...

Always like to keep the postal service busy 😀
Not entirely sure when I'll get through this stack - hopefully before the next arrives...

I've only written 2 Graphic Novels, ANGEL EYES & JINGLE SQUAD but they couldn't be more different (One's a Demonic Thriller, the other a Crazy Christmas Caper), but they do share some familiar creative faces, @andylanning.bsky.social , @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @rorydraws4.bsky.social...

Look what arrived today @robjoneswrites.bsky.social / @rorydraws4.bsky.social - Can't wait to get lost in the pages this weekend...

As a writer who can't draw a straight line I am endlessly fascinated by artists interpretations of my somewhat 'light' character description - For JINGLE SQUAD I was blown away by @rorydraws4.bsky.social first pass at the squad...

Jingle Squad began life as a novel in 2016. Since then I've refined & reworked it as comic issues, graphic novels, film scrips, re-novelised it & finally back as a Graphic Novel. To call it a labour of love would be an understatement - & now seeing it come to life... well, that's something else.

Bit of a real world share - despite still having some originals and all the IDW reprints, I still couldn't resist 😀.

My writing process is ever evolving the more time I spend in this comic work - 4yrs ago when I wrote my first comic page I viewed it as a bit of a solo sport - how wrong I was. 4yrs later and well into my second book I am fully embracing the team aspect of bringing a story to life, script to page.

This whole 'comic-writing' thing is relatively new to me, but already my favourite part is seeing the art come to life, going from sketch to final image. Of course it helps when you have folks like @rorydraws4.bsky.social, @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & @andylanning.bsky.social bringing it to life.

Introducing the members of JINGLE SQUAD - A 'black-ops' Elf unit forged in the heat of battle during the Candy Cane Wars...

For my 1st post I want to answer the age old question what do you get when you cross Dr Who with The Dirty Dozen, mix in some art from @rorydraws4.bsky.social , design & lettering from @robjoneswrites.bsky.social & editorial from @andylanning.bsky.social.
