The great and beautiful John Hicklenton

I hope people were able to catch 'Here's Johnny' on T4 Tuesday night about John's brave battle with MS. I forgot how much I love this guy. He's an incredible artist, his style being at once elegant, graceful but also laden with the ferocity of a Werewolf. John was the artist on my favourite Third World War stories I wrote with Pat Mills. Especially the first story 'The Word According to Ryan.' Mills and I spent several days working up that story and John just exceeded our expectations by designing some of the most grotesque images of human beings I have ever seen. Especially Chief Inspector John Ryan. If you've never caught John's art then it's certainly a must! John is amongst the greatest artists this country has ever produced. He is an absolute genius but don't take my word for it, check out his stuff, some of which will feature on this site shortly ...

Coming soon ...

I will be loading all my published and future projects for all to peruse on this site so keep an eye out or two for upcoming announcements ...

Alan Moore has got a point

Why are some blogging fans smearing bogeys all over Alan Moore for adopting a principled stance on what Hollywood has done with his creations? It must be hell to have seen some of the crap the big studios have turned out in his name. Fact is most genre activity, from novels to comics to movies and games are seemingly churning out product for the sake of solely generating profit. So most of it is tailored to this or that market. Aimed at this or that demographic. It seems like very little art is presently involved in the so called creative endeavours littering the genre scene. It all feels like heartless industry for all the wrong reasons.
