Do UK cartoonists have no POD service here? I'm pretty sure DJ Coffman's (Hero by Night) mate started Comixpress after noticing there would be a demand for a US-based online service. I'm wondering how popular one would be over here. Hey Stik Man,

I’m pretty sure DJ Coffman’s (Hero by Night) mate started Comixpress after noticing there would be a demand for a US-based online service. I’m wondering how popular one would be over here.

I guess now I'll have to read two blogs to keep up with you. Not sure that I could distil my becoming a cartoonist down to one event but I became an expert as a kid at smuggling comic books into the house. My mom was sure they would rot my brain until she realized I was on my way to becoming an artist as a profession. I wonder if you'd be interested in following up your review of chapter one of my serialized graphic novel, "Sister Mary Dracula" here on FP. While it's not technically a completed work, it's still as far as I know the only graphic novel to be published in chapters. Kind of like Charles Dickens actually! Phiz and Boz rolled into one. I've just completed chapter two and it's gotten some very nice response thus far. In any event, congrats on the Forbidden Planet gig and good luck with it. I've already bookmarked it and I'll be checking back. Gerry Mooney Hey Rod- Nice inaugural post! I guess now I’ll have to read two blogs to keep up with you.

Takes me back to my first influences as a boy. My father was given 2 boxes of Marvel comics. I was 10 years old and my artistic universe just exploded. Of course I'm not that sort of illustrator, but it was enough to show me what an exciting medium comics are and inspire all sorts of creators to produce the mini-comics and pod books we have today. Infact that's probably the only way cartoonists can get their work out in the comic market. I've been trying to get my World of Cow cartoons published, which you can see at my blog, but to no avail. So I've set up a bookstore at lulu. But with sites like these it gives us small guys a chance to get our stuff seen. I hope to see more of your articles on this amazing blog. Keep up the good work chaps. We need you. All the best StiK Hi Rod,
