I wanted to ramp up the action over the next couple of pages and page 4 was the place to start. Considine's story is meant to be a slow burner but I realised early on in the development stage that no one was going to read a comic where absolutely nothing happened.

Another thing I wanted to do when at the scripting stage was to break everything down into 5-6 page segments. Part of this was to make the job more manageable but the main reasons were so that I could have the tone go up and down in waves and because I wanted to emulate anthologies like 2000ad. The idea being that you'd get a cliffhanger or resolution at the end of each section and from a practical sense I could chop each 20 issue into smaller sections and serialize it if needs be.

...I'm kinda chuffed with the fist going through the sound effect.

I agree about the fist action and sound effect in the first panel, very nice movement!

On page 5 there'll be a sweet looking 9 panel fight scene: punches, kicks & glassings!

Hopefully I'll be at spring Comiket, Melksham Comic-con and Leeds Thought Bubble. The plan is to get issue one out by the end of the year but I am a legendarily slow worker.

Now now, Mr CrazyFoxMachine, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement of some form. I like to keep my hand in when it comes to drawing comics!

That top panel is fuppin' badass, sunshine.

Also, I wasn't aware that this comic was going to be such a showcase of AWESOME 'TACHE ACTION!

That hair theme isn't just limited to 'tache's, issue two will feature the "Side Burns of Sheffield!"
