Please download, enjoy, rate, reblog, retweet, comment, email, spread the word. Go, go, GO!
This free ten-part (150 page) enhanced comic is set in Victorian Manchester and demonstrates the extraordinary parallels between the Internet Age and the Telegraph Age.
Beautifully realised by Emma Vieceli, Windflower Studio, and LittleLoud, and scripted by Leah Moore and John Reppion, the story weaves around the exciting lives of the young women and men working at The Electrical and International Telegraph Company and tackles 21st Century issues such as gang culture, cyber bullying, coming out and on-line flirtations!
The Thrill Electric also features stunning animations, loads of contextual information, and a secret code that unlocks a hidden storyline. Produced by Hat Trick Productions for Channel 4 education.
On Monday we put two stories of our creator owned (along with artist Matt Timson) project Deadeye online at moorereppion.com and the response so far has been pretty amazing with more than 2,000 people visiting the page at Issuu.com. If you’ve read and enjoyed the Deadeye stories please do leave a comment below or let us know what you thought via our twitters (on the right).
Both stories were originally published a few years back in Popgun Vol 1 & 2 and, as much as all three of us always intended to do so much more with our tales of Los Muertes PI Scott Strulbrug, the opportunity has yet to arise for us to do so.
So, if any publishers out there like what they’ve seen, please do get in touch and let’s see if we can’t breathe some new life into Deadeye.
———————-
Also, besides those 15 pages of Deadeye, don’t forget there will be 150 pages of The Thrill Electric 100% free online to read at your leisure.
We’re just 5 episodes (75 pages) into the series so far so there’s plenty of time for you to catch up with our digitally enhanced Victorian techno-drama based in the Manchester branch of the Electric and International Telegraph Company. Sex! Violence! Telegraphy! The Thrill Electric has it all (and tomorrow’s ep really has quite a lot of all three).

ATTENTION WRITERS, ARTISTS AND COMIC BOOK FANS www.RobotArchie.com WANTS YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!
Back in 2005/06 we were lucky enough, along with our good chum Shane Oakley, to get the opportunity to resurrect a big gang of classic UK comics characters in our dad/father-in-law plotted Wildstorm series Albion.
We loved scripting The Spider, Charlie Peace, Grimly Feendish… every single one of them to be honest. It was a true honour (not to mention loads of fun) working with such important, influential characters and it’s almost impossible to pick just one favourite out the lot.
We did however always have bit of a soft spot for the battling British robot himself Robot Archie and it seems we are not alone…
www.RobotArchie.com (not yet live) aims to be the definitive fan-site for Archie enthusiasts the world over and we’re doing our bit to help make that dream a reality.
So Robot Archie fans, here’s how you can help:
Artists: RA.com wants your Robot Archie pin-ups and more!
Writers: RA.com wants your articles on Archie, his history, reviews, interviews, and anything else you can think of!
Fans: RA.com wants your cover scans, collectors info, classic interviews and everything else!
Anything Robot Archie related you can think of (within reason), RA.com wants!

Robot Archie is a true British icon: a symbol of a lost age when Newsagents’ shelves groaned under the weight of a vast range of truly fantastic, original and spellbinding UK comics. Let’s try to recapture some of that magic and work together to make www.RobotArchie.com
a fitting tribute to Archie and all he stands for.
—–
We (Moore & Reppion) are not running www.RobotArchie.com ourselves but we will be doing everything we can to help out with getting the site up and running and getting as many people involved as possible. If you want to submit artwork, articles, or whatever to the site you can use www.moorereppion.com/contact and we’ll be only too happy to pass your info on to the RA.com webmaster.
At last it’s here! The Complete Dracula #3 arrives in shops across the globe this week and we sincerely hope you’re looking forward to it as much as Matt Holmes is.
There have been some changes this issue, the most obvious being the introduction of Mr. Dheeraj Verma to the team (and we are, of course, very pleased to have him aboard).
As usual, our author’s notes in the back of the book will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about the issue (and probably some stuff you didn’t want to know too) as well as showing the script to finished artwork process.
Don’t forget to drop into the Forum and tell us what you think of the issue.

Got any cash burning a hole in your pocket? Here are a few items definitely worth spending a few quid on.
Defoe 1666 by Pat Mills and Leigh Gallagher
London, 1668. It is two years since the city was devastated by the Great Fire, the inferno caused by a comet passing over the capital. But from the ashes rose the undead, hungry for the flesh of the living. Protecting the populace are zombie hunters like Titus Defoe, a former soldier who now makes it his mission to purge the ghouls.
In Leigh’s own words “This collection also features around twenty or so panels redrawn/retouched by me, so this is the “remastered” edition if you want to call it that!” so even fans of the 2000 AD strip have a good reason to pick up the book.

My Aunt Margaret’s Adventure - A Long Lost Tale of Mystery and Suspense, attributed by M.R. James to Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
“My Aunt Margaret’s Adventure” first appeared in the March 1864 issue of the Dublin University Magazine, which was then under the editorship of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu. The DUM was a regular venue for Le Fanu’s work. The February issue contained the final instalments of his novel Wylder’s Hand, while the April issue saw the publication of “Wicked Captain Walshawe of Wauling”–”My Aunt Margaret’s Adventure” appeared in the interceding issue. Believed by M.R. James and S.M. Ellis to be the work of Le Fanu, “My Aunt Margaret’s Adventure” shares many motifs, themes, and effects found in the Irish author’s work. This new edition will feature commentary on the story and its authorship by two leading Le Fanu scholars, Jim Rockhill (introduction and annotations) and Gary W. Crawford (afterword).
Published by Brian J. Showers’ Swan River Press these A5, hand-sewn chapbooks are limited to just 200 copies. Order yours now from www.brianjshowers.com!
The Stuff of Legend by Mike Raicht, Brian Smith and Charles Paul Wilson III
The year is 1944. An allied force advances along a war-torn beach in a strange land, outnumbered and far from home. Together, they fight the greatest evil they have ever known. Never ending waves of exotic enemies come crashing down on them, but they will not rest. Thousands of miles away, the world is on the brink of destruction. But here in a child’s bedroom in Brooklyn, our heroes, a small group of toys loyal to their human master, fight an unseen war to save him from every child’s worst nightmare.
TSOL Book 1, Vol 1 has already sold out (and deservedly so)! Don’t worry though – they’ve gone to re-print.

My Aunt Margaret’s Adventure
The Complete Dracula #2 will arrive in shops across the USA & Canada tomorrow (UK & Europe on Thursday).

The voyage takes place between mid July and early August so, for those of you following the story in real time via Dracula Blogged, Blog Dracula or Real Time Dracula (with all it’s Twitter based goodness), the action is actually taking place as I type.
For those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on a copy of #2 here’s a sneek preview of pages 1 to 5 - digitally painted by Mr. Colton Worley (take a bow sir) ably assited by Mr. Aaron Campbell’s splendid layouts.
