UPDATED: 2023 Bristol comic expo

I've looked at merchandise created for various comic conventions in the past and I just wanted to start a similar post for anything that I come across for the 2023 Bristol comic expo.

This is the first thing I've found but I understand that there was also a 'programme / brochure' produced for the expo - but I've yet to see this! 

UPDATE: Here's the original art from the cover to the expo programme (below)...pencils by David Morris and inks by Pat O'Connor.





Anyway, let me know know if there's anything I've missed!

Flintlock book 5 - John M Burns cover art

Steve 'Timebomb comics' Tanner has released this teaser image for the next issue of his comic series Flintlock - as you can see the (cover art only) has been produced by John M Burns...

As Time Bomb comics head honcho Steve Tanner says...

2020 has proven to be an awful year, but I'm hoping 2021 will be a better one for us all in one way or another.

One thing I am hoping will be considered a positive is the arrival of Flintlock Book Five, after a much too long gap since Book Four was released in the Autumn of 2019. It shouldn't be a surprise that the delay was covid related - all of Time Bomb's planned 2020 releases ended up being pushed back by a few months - but the good news is the wait for Book Five is almost over.

Current plans are for the Kickstarter to run through February for release in March, and you can sign up to receive notification of when the campaign opens by following this link:

I hope you'll consider joining me for more 18th Century adventures. In many ways working with the artists to create the stories in Flintlock Book Five really helped me get through this year, and I'm looking forward to sharing what we've created together with you. 

Wishing you a positive, safe and ultimately happy 2021.

Lady Flintlock - book 3 - Kickstarter closes at 9pm tonight

Just a quick shout-out this morning for the final 15 hours just launched Kickstarter campaign for Flintlock - book 3. It's hit all 3 stretch goals but Steve Tanner is still interested in your money :)

For anyone not familiar with the Flintlock world this is what Steve has to say...

Flintlock is a regular comics anthology series with a difference - each book tells stories featuring a unique range of genuinely diverse characters in an Eighteenth Century shared historical timeline. The Eighteenth Century (1701 to 1800) was the era of highwaymen, pirates, samurai and thief-takers, and encompassed some of the most tumultuous changes in world history involving some of the richest personalities - and this is one of the inspirations for the stories and characters that feature in Flintlock.

This volume sees Steve ramp the page count up to 64 pages - that means you get 4 complete stories. I've backed issues one and two (issue 2 featured a great cover by Ian Kennedy, here)

Steve Tanner is a great advocate for small press comics and you can find the Kickstarter here


 First announced stretch goal - artwork print by Sarah Millman!
Lady Flintlock - Artwork by Anthony Summey

Third stretch goal unlocked - This artwork by Ben Lopez will be sent to all backers as a limited print stretch goal reward (digital copy included in all digital only rewards). Note: Image shown is the work in progress, not final artwork.

Bank holiday reading sorted - part 2

Oh, I got more than just those 4 comics shown yesterday, I also got...

New issue of Tales from the Tardis is now out, I find this impossible to get anywhere apart from WH Smith's, and I don't live near any branches of WH Smith's, so I was delighted that the Forbidden Planet megastore seemed to have a few copies in early....

Reading Asterix and Tintin books from the library was one of my earliest comics reading experiences, I've slowly (by which I mean acquiring copies only when I seem them for sale, I'm not trawling the net for copies - where would the fun be in that?) been collecting  this series by Rene Goscinny for a while now. The books have been published in English before but I'm focussing on this set by Phaidon. There are hardback and softback versions available. There are 5 volumes in all - Nicholas; Nicholas again; Nicholas on holiday; Nicholas and the gang; Nicholas in trouble.

And just popped through the letterbox today - review in full coming soon, in the meantime just enjoy that Ian Kennedy cover
