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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
