Anthologies are hard work.  You have to deal with so many people - don't get me wrong good people - but creative types that might not take, you know, something called a deadline as seriously as one would like.  You know who you are (thinking about it I'm one of them)!  Anyhoo you need to check out Amazing & Fantastic Tales#1.  It's an anthology with pulp at its beating heart featuring a bunch of really talented people.  The following link describes the experience better than I ever could:

So the new GoodCopBadCop is out.  You'll notice how I always refer to it as one word where everyone else breaks it up into 4 words.  Ask me to say it, though, and you will be under no doubt.  GoodCopBadCop is only one word.

Join me for the latest instalment of my modern twist on Jekyll and Hyde, where the good cop and bad cop are the same person.  Some lovely interiors from Luke Cooper as well.  For details contact planetjimbot@gmail.com.  And there's a review from Forbidden Planet International:

Amongst the Stars #3 is out now, bringing both lead story and Wolf Country to an end.  It's been terrific to show Mike Perkins work again on ATS.  Some really lovely images there.  No surprise that he's gone on to much greater things.  On the other end of the spectrum is relative newcomer Wolf Country artist Luke Cooper, who looks to have a pretty damn good career ahead of him.  It's not the last you'll hear from Wolf Country either; its going to have its own book again written by me and drawn by Luke.

ATS#3 is available.  £3.50 will see it delivered straight to your door.  Other issues also available.  For full details contact planetjimbot@gmail.com

Cheers!

'Kings Crown' was originally published in Metal Hurlant. Ridley Scott's favourite comic. Written by me and drawn by the legendary Richard Corben, it's medieval grunge as our mc Guillame fights all-comers trying to win the king's crown. And trust me it builds up to one humdinger of a sting in the tale. The story is now heading for TV; adapted for the upcoming 'Metal Hurlant Chronicles'. Wowser! In fact when I first saw the trailer on LC's phone - having just got back from Hi-Ex in Inverness - when I got up the next morning I was sure I had dreamt it. (LC reassured me that I hadn't.) "Trailer," I hear you cry - yes trailer, and here's the link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErrhNdIxQ_U

Cartoon Network Action Pack #67 is out now. It's the final issue from DC. There won't be another one. Taking the wild wacky world of comics as a whole, it's probably not particularly newsworthy, but indulge me a moment, it's the end of an era. My association with the title was in the main as writer of Samurai Jack - including Aku's Fairy Tales - and by gum there are some good 'uns in there. Latterly I scripted a couple of Ben 10s and for the final issue a Generator Rex tale called 'Wood for the Trees'. It's an enjoyable yarn; contains some good liners; wasn't originally scheduled for this issue but included as a last minute thing, but you know what, it's a pleasant and warm feeling to be in the very last one. Many thanks to all my co-conspirators (and over the years there's been a few of you). Cartoon Network Action Pack helped me become a better writer. As one door closes, lots more doors to open.
