Warwick Johnson Cadwell / WJC is a firm favourite here at the FPI blog, even though I only heard of him for the first time in Jan 2010s New British Comics #2 and Birdsong/Songbird in March 2010. Both were great examples of a genuine talent, and one that was soon picked up by a lot [...]

Chris Doherty‘s Video Nasties has been available in mini comic form for a while now (webstore). I looked at #1-6 back here and had this to say: “It’s a strange series, the title should give you some idea of what the content is, but then for the first three/four issues we get something remarkably nothing [...]

Simon Gane does some spectacularly good work. I could bang on and on, but see this review of Paris, and for a really well done analysis of his artistic style I’d heartily recommend Charles Hatfield’s The Art Of The Fleck on The Panelists website. But first, some of his art, a recent Batman sketch: Panel [...]
