'Spilled Blood' Issue 2 - Completed!

Thanks to a large amount of holiday time, Chaz has succeeded in blasting through over a dozen pages of comic art in the past few weeks to finish off Issue 2 of the Russian crime/thriller series.

The action really fires up in this one and readers are also introduced to the Uzbek's new nemesis - Colonel Maxim - whose dogged pursuit of our anti-hero will shape the rest of the first cycle of stories, all the way to an apocalyptic climax.

Here's a couple of previews of Maxim in his uncoloured form both finished inks and original rough sketches:

The Amazon Kindle version will be out soon, once the first print copies have been received and approved later this week. Issue 3 is now in production and we expect to have all 3 ready for Deecon in April 2018.

Another Top Review for 'The Black Flag'

We're not sure why, but recent interest in Chaz's first ever full-length comic book is still on the rise - with a brand new 5-star review on Amazon.com. More than a mere review, it's a very detailed and thoroughly accurate critique of the whole work, which shows excellent understanding and appreciation of the tangled themes and plotlines. We're always very pleased and flattered when anybody takes the time to write about something we've created, whether positively or with mixed feelings - but this is by far the most remarkable to date.

Despite being a flawed first attempt at producing adult comic work, and with a troubled and sporadic 5-year creation cycle, we're still pleased to have the 'Black Flag' out there as an example of following an idea, a vision, and creating a single body of work purely for the love and desire of doing so. Many thanks to Hedy for her valued words and for keeping the interest alive.
