I'm going to run through a bunch of comics this time, in part because I'm behind again, and in part because I managed to pick three comics that are taken up by lengthy fight...
-
For reasons that defy rational explanation, I have been interviewed by Krzysztof Kiser about game design and my "creative" process. Perhaps Krzysztof has already interviewed...
-
Over at the resurrected Grognardia, James has shared an early Dungeons & Dragons map from Steve Jackson, co-founder of Games Workshop. This reminded me that the other...

(Found in a rubbish bag in the rain. Lucky me!)
-
From Green Messiah, coming some time this year -- late summer, I hope -- from Lamentations of the Flame Princess.
-
I created the Dog & Bastard pub in 2012 for my One Page Dungeon entry for that year and it has appeared in every rpg adventure I've written since, a little Easter egg for any...
-
Ah. I did wonder why the digital version of this issue was so cheap. It turns out that all we're getting here is the Weapon X bit, and not the other three stories, so it's nine...

On Monday night I dreamed that I visited my Korean cousin in Toronto. I don't have a Korean cousin in Toronto, so I suspect this is my subconscious telling me I'm sad about...
-
By complete coincidence, I'm looking at this a week after Marvel published a Darkhawk 30th anniversary special, which answers one question I had about this comic. This first...

Contraband is a 144-page graphic novel from TJ Behe, Phil Elliott, Ian Sharman, and Cherie Donovan, with a cover by Marcus Hohl. I'm reviewing the 2008 edition from Slave Labor...

Here's a piece commissioned for an upcoming issue of the Tékumel fanzine, The Excellent Travelling Volume:
-
Atacres II was cursed by a wizard and never died. He has ruled for four centuries, because the laws of succession state what happens when a ruler dies, but not what happens if...
-
This should be nice and quick, because nothing happens. Well, sort of. The Silver Surfer is trapped inside the Soul Gem, meets a bunch of other characters, walks around for a...
-
It's #DrawDeathsHeadDay again! And I almost missed it, again! This is based, of course, on the cover of Death's Head II #1 from 1992, and the beheaded, er, Head, is the version...
-
Oh dear. We have fallen very far behind with these. The good news is that of the seven issues I picked for February, all but two were either unavailable, or were comics I have...
-
This is me a couple of weeks ago: I was in accident and emergency, having been rushed there by the ambulance, after a mysterious seizure™. I had a previous mysterious seizure™...
-
The dread Mantopus. Or Octoman. Name TBC. I may have posted a black and white version of this earlier, but I had to do a colour version so I thought I would post it. Content...
-
These furry, clawed, mittens are made from the arms -- forepaws? -- of a werewolf. They look somewhat ridiculous but can be surprisingly deadly. It is said that they were...
-
This is the last of January's picks -- as sort-of-suggested by Calvin -- and we're a week away from the end of February. I am falling behind. We are in part seven of...
-
Bruce Banner undergoes therapy with Doc Samson and the Ringmaster -- that was a surprise -- and examines his past trauma in an effort to understand the rage within that...
-
Another piece from the upcoming Hughuenauts and Other Distractions. This poor chap is a hybrid of goat, bear, and man, and is none too happy about it!
-
I promise, these aren't all going to be Punisher comics. Well, I say that, but this is 1991 so there's a fair chance that any Marvel comic I pick is going to feature The...
-
I don't think I've posted this one yet. Everyone thinks this is the cover to an upcoming project because, to be fair, it looks like one! What in fact happened was, we had some...
-
Well this is a good start. The first two of my random picks were unavailable in digital form, and it turns out that the third was in fact published in 1989, and only...
-
I thought it might be fun to do some writing about comics again, and so I decided I would review every comic Marvel published in 1991. I chose 1991 because the 90's have a bad...
-
A few weeks ago this was going around the interwebs like an STI during freshers' week: The lyrics in "Prisencolinensinainciusol" are gibberish, but the idea is that they are...
-
Another piece for Running Beagle Games. Edit: This is for a book called Comes Chaos and you can get it here.
-
Just before Chrimble I was sent a review copy of Gabriel Ciprés' role-playing game Space Knights: Space Knights is a science fiction roleplaying game about alien invasions,...
-
TLDR; all the little beardy dudes are the same species, but everyone thinks they are not. Gnomes live in the woods, talk to badgers, carve houses into giant mushrooms, and...

I don't think I've shared this one. I drew over 250 new pictures for Adventure Anthology: Blood, which you can still buy if you want. (EU) (US) (PDF) You won't see this picture...
