Not only has Chris Lynch created an incredibly interesting concept to use as the basis of this story, but he’s also created an incredibly unique plot … Rick Lundeen’s linework on this story has a very clean and smooth look to it, which is complimented by some really vibrant colouring …
The Dark is a highly original and inventive graphic novel, with an intriguing and involving plot that really keeps …

It’s that most vital of things … the home town signing! Chris will be Forbidden Planet, Cardiff, from 5pm to 6pm to sign copies of The Dark. Terror abounds as I face friends and family in my “professional” capacity as the mind behind the book, so any and all support is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks to the guys at Forbidden Planet for squeezing this into their busy signings schedule. If you are interested, please sign up for our Facebook Event so that they now how many people to expect. (Not that …

The signing will run from 12:00 – 15:00, so hopefully I will have plenty of time to talk to everyone who comes in. Podcasters and bloggers are welcome to get in touch in advance to arrange interviews before, during, or after the session.
Other than for conventions, …

Racuous, crazy, and great fun … at least until I turned up  … it’s Sidekickcast Episode 33.
Gentlemen … let’s play darts!
I had a fantastic time recording this with Bones and Dan, and I really think that comes through. These guys are always great value. Dan’s done a cracking job of editing some sense into what was several hours of comic book related madness.
If you want to hear a very different take on The Dark to other’s I’ve recorded, and also hear my head almost explode trying to …

OK, you’ll need to excuse the pun. Ace is a superlative I don’t think I’ve used since junior school. I put it away in the big-box-of-words-I-no-longer-use along with “mega”, “brill” (except when referring to the fish), and “wicked” (except when describing witches and rather nifty anthology comics from FutureQuake Press.
Something that is genuinely, actually, and properly ace though is the new Ace Comics website, not least because the guys at Ace have been kind enough to place The Dark and Freeman front and centre on their brand new homepage for …

I 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 …

I say “Basically”, “You know”, “So”, and “Um” … quite a lot, basically, you know?
My voice gets ludicrously high pitched when I get a bit excited.
I have cursed myself to …

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.
