Bad Space Comics

Bloody hell - it’s back from the printers, team! These are pics from the publisher in France - he reports it looks magnifique. We haven’t sorted an official launch date yet, but at least it means that your orders will be on the way ASAP. I cannot wait to see how it looks in person. Admittedly the fi

Thought I'd better celebrate the new book with a new comic. I would be the first to admit that dark matter and dark energy are pretty high level concepts for a short story! But I am fascinated by the problem they represent. Where and what the hell is the universe? My whole life, scientists have been

Ok, big progress to report, team! Basically I’ve completed all of the major things I need to do to begin drawing my graphic novel! At the beginning of November I completed the comic storyboard. This is the entire comic plan - 180 pages - scripted and laid out. And in another major milestone- I worke

It’s official Baddies: I’m going to take a minimum six months off my day job to work on the Bad Space graphic novel. I applied for (and got!) a grant, and combined with my Patreon, it should be do-able. The script to the story is complete. So as soon as I sort out dates to finish my job, I’ll start

Hey Baddies - Very exciting news! Preorders for the book: BAD SPACE VOLUME 1 open May 6/7! I will post all the details here the moment it goes live, to make sure you have first access. There will be two editions - a softback version and a hardback version. They are going to be absolutely gorgeous an

I freaking love doing research for Bad Space Stories, I just discover such gruesome stuff - and Soviet history, in particularly, is hairy AF. Which, in case you're wondering, is just a little tease for my next comic - which should be out in a week or so. And yeah, it is taking longer than usual, bec

Some draft artwork for my next story. This one has been a heap of fun to draw - Coming in a few days!

Some unused panels from my latest comic. Here's a quick share of some artwork that didn’t quite make the grade for my last comic, Weeds of Earth. The problem with drawing this comic was that it was really all about illustrating a bunch of fairly abstract concepts. A process which I think is best cap

Check out some of the development artwork behind my latest comic. Hey Baddies! Huge shout out to new supporters- and existing ones. Your backing literally makes these comics possible. As you may be aware, to make Bad Space more sustainable long term (hopefully), from now on, every second comic I do

Boy that was the most fun I’ve had drawing one of these comics in a while! I re-read the book to make sure I didn’t miss anything- and even street-viewed the original locations. I still remember the thrill of hearing the album when I was a kid, and coming back to it again, and to the book, to create

Hey Baddies Just a quick update, so you don’t think I’ve fallen off the planet! I’m in the process of drawing a new comic - and just this week started writing another one that I’m really excited about. It’s riffing off HG Wells’ War Of The Worlds, and I can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve been trying

Hi spacers! Writing the script for the Bad Space graphic novel lately, has had me thinking again about my inspiration for these stories. And a huge part of my motivation for Bad space comes from science fiction books. Sadly this is because good hard sci-fi comics and movies are precious and very rar

Who is the zombie now? Sorry about the wait, team! Parts of this story were quite challenging to write! This was partly because from a certain point of view, this comic imagines a world where the conspiracies of anti vaxxers finally come true, and I wanted to navigate that idea carefully. In fact, i

Hey team! New comic up. So, fun fact: here in New Zealand we pronounce all the bears the same: Beer, bare, bear. This is not particularly relevant to the comic at hand, but the story does feature a bare bear. Just saying. Hope you enjoy it. Meantime, I'm on holiday so am using that time to make comi
