Woolley Jumper #8

It's Woolley Jumper time again, this week part one of 'The Citadel of Silence' bursts onto your screens with lots of dynamic triangle panels and crazy action. It originally appeared in #18 of Mondo, the first issue of 1994.Sporting an amazing biker/metal cover from Tom Carney, also below, the issue featured 'The Hitman' by Lee Davis and Mike Kinsella- a strip I've earmarked for restoring and colouring to be republished at some point. My own Fred Fortune in a story entitled 'The Dull Day' where Fred is so bored he walks out of his own strip in disgust(!). Part 8 of 'Copter Cops' by Matt Banwell and Noel White, a strip that started in one of the missing issues. If anyone out their has any stray copies of Mondo #s 1-5 (1992), 8, 9 & 10 (1993), 33 (April 1995), and 37 (August 1995) please drop us a line so we can return them to the Mondo archive. We'll get them scanned and straight back to you ASAP with a gift of some sort. Also in #18 was Negative Man scripted again by Matt Banwell with art by Chris Doughty. A prose article by Mark Yarwood about the Noir genre called 'Hard Boiled'. Mark is now a crime author with a huge stack of books to his name... check them out on Amazon if you like. You can also find Mark on Twitter @MarkYarwood72. Next Lee Davis and Paco Garcia's epic superhero sequel 'Hyperion II' continued as did 'Man XL' also written by Lee Davis with art by Steve Jones. The issue was capped with a few pin-up pieces including a very Schwarzenegger like rendition of the 'British Bulldog' character by Cavan Ark.

Mondominium #1

 


I thought I'd showcase some more old Mondo stuff for you... From #21 back in April 1994, here's part one of 'The Gladiator III'. It was written by Mondo's head honcho creator Lee Davis and drawn by a pre-2000AD Tom Carney who was out-Bisleying everyone at the time!! As with our 'Woolley Jumper' series the pages are presented warts and all scans from the photocopied pages of my old copies of Mondo. Watch this space for news about the restored and coloured versions, like the 'Revenant' story from a while back, coming soon... Maybe as a new Mondo special..? What do you think?

Wheels Of Fortune

Just some Fred Fortune stuff today.

Here's a couple of old ones-


Next up is a cover/poster/splash page for a 1995 team up strip I did with Steven Corps and his Phantom Bog Roller character published as a one shot/special issue by Steven that year.
Steven has a very British cartoony drawing style that's akin to the art in UK kids anthology Nutty (original home of Bananaman) back in the early 80s and did tons and tons of fun comedy small press comics back in the 90s. Here's one of his covers-


I don't think Steven does a lot of stuff these days, but you can find him on Twitter here-

This next one is from 2001. Pen and ink and lots of dry brushing- a precursor of my art style today?


Here's a bit of it!!



If you've got a spare few minutes please go have a look at the links below for early Fred comics and merch, thank you.


Next Time- Woolley Jumper #1

Stay safe everyone.
