A Note
Having completed two books I am set to start lettering the third which is a graphic novel (over 100pp) and then I have to finish art on another project then letter some other books.
Since Mr Dilworth became ill BT has become a one man show and no one seems interested in working on projects for the fun of it (I certainly do not get paid!). So things can go fast or slow. I will update on projects as and when I can.
Just awaiting the ordered proof copies of CB3 and BTSH 2/1 then I can post how to order.
CB 3 and BTSH 2/1 Update
Here is the update for anyone interested out there.
Comic Bits 3 was finally finished late last night after a few technical problems which, honestly, never happened in the old cut and paste days before computers and PDF. Just fixing things I don't like (as well as some cover text) about the cover and it should be on sale later this month.
And... Black Tower Super Heroes volume 2 number 1is now completed. 80+ pages that I lost the dialogue text to but that never worries me as the story actually got improved. I blush at my genius 😂
This is NOT the final cover but the mock up. Apart from the Ben Dilworth art everything else has to go. Again, a later this month release.
Then onto the next book!
If I could pay I would have a team of artists!
