I’ve neglected the website of late. Apologies for that. In fairness, my last entry was March 24th, I’ve just seen, and my daughter, Edie, was born on the 27th. And I’m recently back from a trip to New York where I was working on a feature about the NFL Draft for GQ Magazine. So things have been more than a little hectic lately.

Since my last entry, however, LOW LIFE: CREATION finished very satisfyingly in 2000AD. A beautiful job by D’isreali and a script that I’m really happy with. And I’ve been working on and finishing a book for Marvel which, even though I’ve worked for them before on WOLVERINE a few years back, remains a dream come true. Extremely dark and nasty, this one. More on that once it’s solicited.

My feature on the 1974 BRITISH LIONS TOUR TO SOUTH AFRICA is currently available in GQ SPORT (it’s the issue of GQ with Simon Pegg on the cover). It’s the best thing I’ve written in my journalism career and, for a rugby union fan such as myself, speaking to the likes of Gareth Edwards, Willie John McBride and JPR WIlliams was a thrill.

Other news comes from the widespread great reviews that the CLA$$WAR hardcover edition has been enjoying. SFX have it four and a half out of five, if I remember correctly, which was lovely. But the review that Ain’t It Cool News gave us this week was truly amazing. In the words of Trev Hairsine, when I sent him the link, “that’s a foaming review”. They absolutely loved it. My brain doesn’t cope well with this much praise:

So, take their lead and run out and buy a copy.

And finally, short notice this, but I’ll be at the Bristol Comics Expo this weekend, so come and say hello. I’m signing at 11am both days, I think. I’m sure I’ll be at the com.x and 2000AD tables too throughout the weekend and I’m on a panel on the Sunday afternoon. See you in the Ramada Inn.
