Graphic Novels


Cancertown: An Inconvenient Tooth

Vince Morley is a man with big problems and a brain tumour like a baby’s fist, living with one foot in a monstrous alternate world he calls Cancertown. When the lost and dispossessed of London start tripping over the same cracks in reality he spends his life avoiding, Morley realises he must confront the residents of Cancertown – and risk finding his place among them.

Cancertown 2: Blasphemous Tumours 

Vince Morley is a dangerously sick man. The crossing points between his realities wear thin as, in a psychiatric hospital, sticky fingers pick through the darkest corners of Bugfuck's broken mind. With the old powers falling to a new creature of horrific violence and limitless rage, the deadliest of the Cancertown Players returns to claim a favour from Morley that could cost him more than just his life.




The Indifference Engine: A Holographic Novel

Responding to a strangely specific job advertisement, a distinctly ordinary twenty-something suburban slacker finds himself in the middle of an inter-dimensional task force staffed entirely by superhuman alternate versions of himself. Struggling to fit in, he uncovers a conspiracy that strikes at the very heart of the organisation – a conspiracy that only he can stop.





Slaughterman's Creed


Slaughterman’s Creed is a story of the fall and rise of monsters, where an ethical knife-edge is all that separates hero from villain. A human trafficker orders the death of a killer who refuses to breach his professional code. Twelve years later, the trafficker’s world erupts in blood and chaos. Barely surviving and crippled for life, the Slaughterman has returned to put the whole organisation to the blade.




White Knuckle


Forty years ago, Seth Rigal was a man to be feared – a serial strangler with a string of victims. Now nearly seventy and tormented by a lifetime of monstrous violence, Rigal lives on the verge of poverty and quietly waits for the death he knows he deserves. Tortured and confused, still haunted by the drives that made him a killer in his youth, Rigal finds himself almost unconsciously stalking the daughter of his final victim – only to have his precious anonymity snatched from him when he accidentally saves her son’s life. Seth Rigal, formerly known as the Gripper, just became a local celebrity. The bodies won’t stay buried any longer.

Broadcast: The TV Doodles Of Henry Flint

The mind of Henry Flint is a galaxy of beautiful atrocities – a nightmare factory where the bestial becomes benign, the mundane magical. Henry Flint is at once a full-service doodling savant and a one-man alien zoo, and this never-before-seen collection of his personal work is an attempt to chart a single, crooked leg of the artistic journey he takes daily. Welcome to the best of the bestiary.

Unseen Shadows - The Reverend: Wrath Of God


The Reverend: a holy weapon forged in tragedy and flame – a murderous martyr whose cold judgement strikes with the force of a vengeful God. 

Despair, for the Reverend walks among you. He is the right hand of vengeance. He is Wrath.







Unseen Shadows - The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh

The Truth makes liars of us all. The Truth will kill you, or get you killed. It’ll steal your marriage and your daughter’s love. The Truth will get you shot and left for dead in the desert…

So when a woman tells you she woke up in a bathtub full of blood and ice with stitches in her belly that she can’t explain, you’ll know it’s the Truth because nothing else smells or feels or hurts that bad – and you’ll fall for it all over again, even though you know you were lucky before and it’ll burn you even worse this time.

This, then, is the story of The Immaculate Abortion of Dina Leigh – and I’m daring you to call me a liar…




Master Merlini


Escape artist, magician, Master Merlini is all these things and more. An adventurer. A Crimefighter, A hero...

Where did he come from? Is he David Merlini the world famous escape artist? Or is he something more?

Has the real world superhero Master Merlini really sprung from the pages of a comic book – or is he trapped in one?



 

Short Stories


Swamp Pussy & The Hanged Man for Bayou Arcana

With his final breath, a hanged man curses the faithless lover who betrayed him to his death. Disfigured and transformed, the woman lives a hundred years in the shadow of the Hanged Man’s tree – the Weeping Witch of the Great Arcana. The curse decrees that men will forever be drawn to her and that all who see her will love her. She will never be free until her own heart is broken as the Hanged Man’s was.  




Remember This Moment for Layer Zero: Time

Part non-linear hit-man story and part magic trick, Remember This Moment blends respect and deception in a world where magic and storytelling are closer relatives than they might appear.






 Waste, A Story Of The Road Not Taken for Layer Zero: Survival

Phrased as a sort of “ghost story”, Waste is about a man whose own future comes back to haunt him. However, the very crisis that pushes him over the edge ends up offering him the one thing he’s been denying himself all these years: a second chance.





Open Source, for Overload #1

With art from startling new talent, Aaron Moran, Open Source finds two violent men struggling to preserve a dangerous secret, only to discover that once the bottle is broken, you can never stuff the genie back inside.
