Sherlock Holmes – The Liverpool Demon 4 preview pages

Posted By John Reppion on April 29th, 2013

The fourth issue (of five) of Sherlock Holmes – The Liverpool Demon is subtitled The Labyrinth and just happens to be coming out on the first of May – the same date that Liverpool’s burrowing philanthropist Joseph Williamson passed away 173 years ago. Make of that what you will. 

Drummond, now on the run, seeks shelter in Hitchcock’s Menagerie, but how long will it be before Inspector Thornton tracks him down? The final piece of the puzzle falls into place for Holmes as he and Watson return to the scene of Tom Christian’s murder. Yet the route they take is far from straight and perhaps more dangerous than even the Great Detective could imagine.

One of the perks of being comic writers

Posted By John Reppion on April 17th, 2013

Doctor Diablo by Andy Bloor

This arrived in the post today: original artwork from the amazingly talented Andy Bloor.

Andy is a full time Graphic Designer and a part time Comicer 1 2, most famously providing the artwork for the Dave West penned Wolfmen series.

We had the pleasure of working with him back in 2007 on a story for  Accent UK’s Robots anthology entitled The Cabinet of Doctor Diablo, and the art we received today features the titular automaton himself.

Andy’s a fantastic artist and his work actually looks even better in the flesh (paper) than in print. Now we just have to work out where to hang the good Doctor…

  1. Originally Emma Vieceli’s word, but now in general use I think
  2. so, it turns out I spelled Comicker wrong
