Good morning!

David Baillie leaps out of bed every morning burning with the fire of youthful enthusiasm.
He writes and draws comics.

If you haven't heard of him you've been listening in the wrong places.

His work has appeared in 2000AD, Judge Dredd Megazine, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tripwire, Redeye, Comics International, Zombies and Robots and has been translated into almost a dozen languages.

His screenwriting has been nominated for a BAFTA/Rocliffe Award and shortlisted for the hotly-contested Red Planet Prize and the BBC Scotland Writes Drama Competition and he recently worked with the prestigious Ragdoll Productions on a couple of television projects.

Last year he spent a month as the artist in residence at the groundbreaking Colchester-based visual arts centre firstsite. Exhibitions of his art have been mounted in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Paris and Oxford.

This is his website.

If I had to choose someone from the whole of the small press to back me in a fist fight, it would definitely be David Baillie.

A sexier, even cuter version of Ben Grimm, The Thing

One of my favourite cartoonists
