WORDS
Short Comics
Some short 5/6 page comic scripts.
Comics
The script for an upcoming story of mine in Judge Dredd Megazine entitled The Wrong Headed Notion
A few pitches and a 6 page Daredevil story I sent to the editor of Marvel Rampage (UK) the same week he stopped printing original material and switched to 'reprint only'.
A script I wrote for my talented countryman Douglas Noble to illustrate. And a fine job he did, too. In honour of the artist I called it Douglas's Story.
Radio
The script for the first episode of a three part radio drama entitled A Different Kind Of Blue, it featured music by Jenny Gould.
Film
An hour-long screenplay I wrote last year for the BBC (sadly unproduced) called Karl the Comic Writer
I also wrote a short film version of one of the Future Shocks above - House of Chapters
Epic
These scripts were all written for Marvel's ill-fated Epic project a few years ago:
Love Hurts was an attempt to try an old fashioned romance comic in the Marvel Universe. It is a story about forbidden love between a young mutant boy and a 'normal' girl.
The Pacifist was an idea I had for a What If style one-shot. Why do super heroes keep hitting each other over the head with cars and buildings? Where does it get them, after all? Unfortunately you're going to have to be familiar with a few key characters from the Marvel Universe to fully understand what's going on here.
Warheads was an idea I had to revive an old Marvel UK property as a Mature Content title. This first issue was to serve as an introduction to my new Warheads team and what they'd been up to since we'd last seen them.
Warning : contains strong language
The Tragic Tale Of Aaron Appleshift was another one-shot, concentrating on the life of a mentally unbalanced man as he struggled to cope with the Marvel World. Again you're going to have to have a passing familiarity with some Marvel characters to fully understand what's going on.
Warning : contains strong language
Short Prose
My short story The Forwards Story Of Backwards Benjamin
Note : The inspiration for this story came from a lunch conversation with a friend a couple of years ago. Since then I have discovered that both Alan Moore and George Constanzas had pretty much the same idea and produced a Future Shock and comedy routine very similar to this.
Non Fiction
I wrote a report for Comicon's The Beat after watching the live recording of Alan Moore interviewing Brian Eno for the BBC. Here it is. And here it is in Italian!
And here is my report for Redeye Magazine on last year's San Diego Comicon.
