Had a chance to see completed pages for “The God Trap” today, and stared Bamapana in the eye for the very first time.
What’s more disturbing; that there is an aboriginal trickster god famed for his incestuous ways, or that I write about him?
In any case, Gary has done a fantastic job and Bamapana looks utterly filthy and profane, just as he should. Fans of EC horror, tentacles, night clubbing, betrayal, and evil tables (yes, evil tables) should all do just fine. Kitten fanciers … not so much.
Check the story out in the …

If you believed that thought crimes were for foreign dictatorships and science fiction distopias, then beware.
“The Criminal Justice & Immigration Act 2008 came in to effect in January 2009, and Section 49 of the Coroners and Justice Bill is currently being reviewed.

Bryan Talbot says “Cancertown will disorientate you, suck you in, chew you up and spit you out and you might well be in need of a change of underwear by the end.”

I have been using Celtx to write my comic book scripts for quite some time now, and find one of its most useful features to be the ability to keep character, prop, and scene information seperate from the main body of the script but with hyperlinks to move to and from the script.
