Return of the big giant head...

Whoa, this place is a little dusty. *cough cough*

So, it's been a while, I know (it's not like anybody reads this stuff), but I got a job you see.
Yep, I was briefly employed so had all the money and none of the time.
But now that I am an unemployed bum again I get to do stuff like this all day. I'm living the dream!

So "What're you reading Waggy?" I hear you cry. No? Anyone? No? Well, a lot actually, stop being so nosy you swines.

This week, I have been mostly reading The Anchor, written by Phil Hester with art by Brian Churilla.

"What's that Waggy?" You ask? No? Still no one?

Well, the Anchor is a holy man lost in time. He guards Hell's entrance to Earth by beating the living snot out of hordes of hellspawn, and has been for generations.
Cut to the present and five furies have appeared on earth to cause mayhem and the mysterious Anchor arrives just in time to help out. But "Wait" I hear you... Ah sod it! He's still in hell too, fighting the good fight. That's the gist of the story, it's good, I'm tired, go read it. I'm not going to tell you any more because 'apparently' I spoil things all of the time, like the time I told people how Glenn from Walking Dead... erm, is a... really, nice... guy. Anyway, it's like really cheap at the Comix Shoppe too!

Wales Comic Con 2013

So on Sunday we braced the terrifying (if you believe Adam) journey through mid Wales to get to Wales Comic Con in Wrexham. This is an event that we enjoy being a part of and it seems to get bigger and better every year, and this year we had issue one of Copperopolis to sell so we couldn't wait to see the reaction (tell us what you thought of the comic in the comments section). What a reaction it was, we didn't have a quiet moment all day and we'd like to say thank you for all the support you guys show us, it's always nice to read the kind words you guys have like this review http://mynerfherder.com/2013/04/29/review-wales-comiccon-2013/ . Plus we managed to get some more of our shameless publicity shots so thank you to the guests for being good sports and thank you to Jamie for having us.here are some of the photos to see the rest head over to our Facebook and Instagram pages to check out the rest.

Bard Ass!

Thanks for your patience, True Believer! It's finally here, Copperopolis #1, from The Swansea Comics Collective. It's 28 pages of comic craziness for only £2.50! No ads, all story & art! Copperopolis is a universe in which the members of the Swansea Comics Collective could fuse characters, stories and ideas in one big melting pot. It’s a fictional version of Swansea where many of
the landmarks are recognisable but strange heroes, villains and monsters also stalk the streets. A place where we draw inspiration from our city’s past and from the rich and fantastic mythology of the Celts while throwing in our own unique, and sometimes bizarre, ideas!

You will discover the origin of Copperopolis, witness the clash between Merlyn and Vortigen, meet the Mayor as tackles the threats the modern city faces, wonder at the stupidity of the Button Men and the sheer awesomeness of Bard Ass! Oh yeah, it's got dragons in it too!

If you need another reason to put your hand in your comic please note we are a Not For Profit group. All of the money raised from the sale of the issue goes towards producing the next issue and funds our comic creating workshops for schools and our local community.

Copperopolis Number One is on sale now at The Comix Shoppe, Swansea, found opposite the Grand Theatre at 13 Shoppers Walk Arcade, 01792 642097.

Happy Thursday!

Or for those of you who are in relationships or actually care, Happy Valentines day! We are fast approaching the launch of our comic Copperopolis, so keep checking back for news regarding where and when you can get your copies. In the meantime here's a valentine themed double sketch card, of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers, that suggests I'm not as bitter about today as the title of this post suggests I might be.
