 City of Tomorrow

Part One

Shitty City is flooded after months of non stop rain and it's about to be invaded by mad future pirates! Only Fred can save us now!!

In the style of classic 2000AD mixed with Deadline and The Beano, it'll be a 40-50 page black and white comic with lots of action, beer, flying car chases and jokes, wrapped up behind colour covers.

 

It's mostly scripted with 20 pages pencilled, 6 of which are now inked and ready for lettering.

If you like the look of it please check back for news and updates etc.

Here's a couple of random spoiler free pencilled pages to give you a teaser...

I'll also be posting a ton of the old Fred comics from way back when, all tidied up and digitally restored...

Thanks for reading this far.

Hail CG!!

Merry Christmas!

Have a great festive season with all your family and friends and best wishes for the new year.

NUFF SAID.

Stop the division. Everyone has their own valid point of view. Only together can we move forward. Unite and end the dystopian clown-world.

NEXT TIME- 2022!!

New Discovery of Old 'Lost' Christmas Card Design!

Around this time last year I posted a few surviving Christmas card designs that my Dad did to give to friends, family and clients from the early to late 1970s. While he got the later ones professionally printed, the earlier ones he printed himself by creating the image as a lino cut, covered the lino in ink and printed it by passing the card and inked lino through an old mangle to mimic a printing press, kind of like a homemade etching. While tidying up a few months back I came across several prints of another design amongst some of his work. I don't remember this one but it's quite striking in it's graphic grainy simplicity. These are probably experiments in colour to see which version worked best. Personally the middle one works best for me. What do you think? I have no idea when he did this one, but I expect it's the early 70s. Love it...

There is a Facebook page that showcases more of my dad's art, including landscape paintings and arabic calligraphy, here-

The Death Of Simply Splendid!!

 

Recently I re-read the epic 'Death Of Superman' from DC Comics back in the early 90s for the first time since reading the trade collections at the time. It took some time, was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed re-visiting such a huge story. 

Then I remembered this... Only Mondo could distil the 1600+ page monster of an epic into just two panels. Made me laugh back then... still does now.

'Simply Splendid' was a newspaper style strip that appeared on the editorial page of almost every issue. This one appeared in the March 1994 issue- #20, that also included the comics 'Man XL II' by Lee Davis and Steve Jones, 'Rip Kane II' by Lee Davis, John Maybury & Siobhan Hillman, Part 1 of Fred Fortune: Daze by me, the epilogue of 'Copter Cops' by Matt Banwell and Leonard Noel-White, episode 2 of the 'Darkness' story 'The Vengence of Screw U' by Mark Yarwood and Paul Knight, John Woolley's Massacre Comics continues with 'Power Hat' and Tim James and Chris Doughty provided the 'Negative Man' story 'Reflections in the Dark'. There were also a few articles including Lee Davis and Mark Yarwood's reflection on the life and career of Jack Kirby after his passing in February a month earlier and Lee reviewed the 1993 Superman radio drama.

NEXT- Woolley Jumper #10

BJ Teaser 'OOO-ERRR, MISSUS!!'

During the early 2000s artist BJ Wilson quickly became Mondo's stand out superstar with comics 'Iron Ed' and 'Assault Suit Kevin'. Sporting quite a cartoony style that is influenced by both US underground comix (Zap, Crumb etc) and the French/European comics (Metal Hurlant, Moebius etc) of the 1970s his work appeared in several underground/small press comics in the UK in the 80s before settling in to becoming a Mondo mainstay around the late 90s. He's known for his very precise inking and unique lettering style.

Here the is a few teaser illustrations by BJ to give you a sampler of what's to come. These are all just scans of the photocopied pages he sent me a while back and are unaltered. The proper stuff will be all tidied up and coloured... enjoy.

'Brilliant line work!!'

NEXT- The Death Of Simply Splendid!!
