You know, if his work wasn’t so darned great, I’d call him a nitpicker, but hey… this was in my inbox after putting up the New For Thought Bubble post: “Thanks very much for adding my collection Back Again to Break Your Heart to your “new for TB” page on the blog – but to [...]

A long, long time ago (or so I remember it) I reviewed the first few print collections of a webcomic Rule Of Death by the stellar team of Daniel Merlin Goodbrey and Douglas Noble. It was very good. But I am not very good. Certainly not with keeping up with any webcomics. So I have [...]

Built Of Blood And Bricks By Douglas Noble and Sean Azzopardi “Bricks are built from history And history is built in blood. That’s all that families are – blood that endures for a little while.” Dark. Very dark. And very, very good. Like Kieron Gillen says: “A nasty cackle of a book I recommend you [...]

Enjoying a look online at Doug Noble’s Dreams of Secret Cinema. Movies and comics, two of my favourite things, brought together… “After the projectors have been shut off and the TV screens have dimmed, unwatched films dream. It’s there in the crackle of cooling reels, in the butterfly trembling of DVD cases, the aching sigh [...]

Coming at some point….. And that’s all I got in an email from Douglas Noble. A new series from Noble and Sean Azzopardi. Seeing as the last comic by Azzopardi & Noble was the great “Sightings Of Wallace Sendek“, I’m looking forward to this whenever it happens.

Actually, it’s been back for a little while now, only I’ve been damn lazy in getting the news up here. Bad me, bad me. Saw this series first back in 2009 and thought it was great. Since then, I’ve found that most of Douglas Noble’s work is great, or at least the stuff I understand [...]

What It Is & What It Was (Issue 36 of Strip For Me) By Douglas Noble What It Is And What It Was is a complete reworking on Noble’s 2006 24-hour comic, with a rewritten script and new artwork. And it feels nothing like a 24-Hour comic. But it does feel very much like a Douglas Noble [...]

Today marks the annual National Poetry Day, verse and rhyme across the UK – to get in the spirit we asked our comics friends to play. Okay, I will stop trying to do badly rhymed sentences now that would make McGonagle wince… It is indeed National Poetry Day today and just for a little bit [...]
