We are full of win – The Dark Prize launches on Twitter

To celebrate the launch of The Dark, we have arranged a very special prize draw, with our esteemed publisher Markosia, to win a signed copy of The Dark. The competition is simple to enter, just tweet our URL “http://www.thedarkcomicbook.com” anytime between now and January 31st. Every tweet will count as an entry, and a winning tweet (and tweeter) will be selected at random on February 1st 2010.

It would be fantastic if we could make The Dark a trending topic on Twitter, but I’ll settle for knowing that we’ve got the word out there to comics fandom and that someone, somewhere, will be enjoying a copy of The Dark gratis. As they say in the National Lottery adverts … Maybe, just maybe …

Full terms and conditions for the draw are available from our website.

Comic Book Outsiders Interview now available

comicbookoutsidersI had the immense privilege of being interviewed by the fine fellows Comic Book Outsiders this week about The Dark as well as other matters comic and, after some fine editing of my more rambling and incoherent moments, the interview is now online and ready for your eager ears.

I have just listened to it and can indeed confirm the following …

  1. I say “Basically”, “You know”, “So”, and “Um” … quite a lot, basically, you know?
  2. My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
  3. I have cursed myself to decorate or fall foul of a terrible fate in October
  4. There is no such thing as a dance acamdemy for bees
  5. I do not own a Nokia 3210, but have done and have a disturbingly impressive knowledge of the specification.
  6. My only good advice for other comic writers is to marry an English Teacher

So, if want to find out what kind of interview can possibly cover such strange and rambling ground, I recommend Comic Book Outsiders Episode 68!

Rick, Harry, and I have all been interviewed by the Hypergeek website about the forthcoming release of The Dark.

We all answered our questions seperately, and it is interesting to see the areas in which we see the book differently as well as the areas in which we agree!

A great chance to get a little “behind the scenes” peek at the workings of a trans-atlantic creative team and a trans-atlantic publisher.

And, of course, I give a few little clues away as to what the big mystery is in “The Dark” …

It was great to hear such positivity about the story, the ideas in The Dark, and the twisting plotlines. Barry has only had the first three chapters to read so far, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he has to say when he reads the final chapter in the trade.
