Mr Dilworth -Thank You

 

above: A smiling Mr Dilworth before reading the fine print in his Black Tower contract!

Can I just make it clear that there would be far, far fewer Black Tower titles if it were not for Benjamin R Dilworth the man who produced some really good work under his Penguinflight banner back in the day before exile in Japan.

I've been more than proud to publish his work and continuation of some of his old characters such as Corporal Religion which began back in Corporal Religion Against the Pinko Commie Menace!  Also the two dystopian cop thrillers The Dark Night Detectives: Everything Is Under Control  and The Dark Night Detectives:The Ministry of Safety.

While other artists deserted to go on to do "bigger things"  and take the fame (oops. They just vanished) Dilworth has been a steady supplier of comic strips to an aging hack publisher!

THANK YOU, Mr Dilworth

All Three Files Done

 All three interior files and covers for Trump, Hurricane Hurry and Ally Sloper completed. Now it's upload, get a to check things (yes, the company charges you to make sure they have had the printing done properly) then post that they are available to buy.

Two people who have had a preview of Trump have already pre-ordered so maybe I'll send a copy to the Whitehouse?

Just A Note

 Yep I have no actual comic work in over a week. I have instead made it a legal requirement that should I not log into my online store account in a month the store and all its books will be deleted.   I am not getting any younger and if people think my popping my clogs will lead to more sales they are mistaken. 

My family has no interest in my comics or books and there is no stock of them anywhere for later sale: it is print on demand.

So if you have purchased a Black Tower comic or book hang on to them because the number out there of each title are nowhere near 100 each so they'll be rarer than A British Platinum or Diamond Ages comics.

Oh, original art will be dumped or more likely burnt so ...

Part of life and business.

Now read something cheerful.

I feel Somewhat Ashamed (no money in it)

 I was updated on the research into my family tree:

"...yesterday we found out you are related to Sir John Cope and Lady Chaworth Cope family which become the Earl of Holland of Holland House Kensington -executed during the Emglish civil war... today the 3rd great grandfather of 7th great grand uncle ( counts in lineage ) is.. no other than sir Erasmus Paston 1506 _1540 direct descendant of King Edward the 1st "the Hammer of the Scots! You can now officially walk through the house proclaiming royal blood flows through your veins!"

I'm a long time socialist. Oh Corbin forgive me!
