Axe Me No Questions
There's a thread going on at the moment on the message boards of the rather wonderful Art & Story podcast about sharing your early work, so in the spirit of that, here's something I did more than 20 years ago, around the time I was just starting to get published in student rags and fanzines. Script is by my brother Andrew. I seem to recall that "Axe of the Apostles" was meant to be a catch-all title for an occasional series of short pieces, but in the end we only did two. Only one of which was ever accepted for publication. By a magazine which was immediately cancelled.
A little microcosm of the following two decades, had I but known it at the time.

Nate Go Bye Bye
This week, I lost another editor. Not content to burn out three of them on the Muppet Show books, I appear to have also chased away Nate Cosby, the fine gentleman who offered me Thor: The Mighty Avenger a year or so back. So I'll just take this moment to wish Nate good luck in his future writing endeavours, and to say a heartfelt thanks.

Many Happy Returns of Fin Fang Foom
Last Saturday, my friend and colleague Scott Gray, he of Doctor Who and Fin Fang Four fame, got married. It was a fantastic day - a beautiful ceremony in the woods, great food, great company, a Tardis on the lawn and at least one person wearing a fez (who that was, I couldn't possibly comment). Anyway, this is the card I cobbled together for the happy couple, using the original Kirby/Ayers splash page as a starting point.
Have a great life together, you crazy kids!
