As usual, this space has laid fallow - but perhaps as such, it has become more fecund! For LO - a kickstarter, for the book I've been serializing on my Patreon (co-written and drawn by my friend Damon Gentry) has sprung forth from the damp neglected soil of the internet! From our descriptor of the book:
The first story of this book, BLACK SPOT (preview the whole chapter here), was written in the long-ago year of 2015 by Simon and Damon. BLACK SPOT
told of an eco-terrorist attack, spiraling out of control on an
experimental corporate bio-fuel facility floating in Jupiter's Upper
atmosphere. But in writing BLACK SPOT
together, Simon and Damon found a tone they were keen to revisit. Pulpy
sci-fi adventure, escalating unintended consequences leading to
catastrophe, wry satire and pure dumbass goofery all come together to
make 175 pages of adult-oriented comics entertainment. Originally
serialized from 2019 onwards on Simon’s Patreon, GRIP OF THE KOMBINAT
is equal parts Coen Brothers, Paul Verhoeven, and idiotic humor. The
seven tales span myriad sub-genres - we’ve got a heist story, a legal
drama, a tale of stockholm syndrome, espionage, romance, and most of
all, a consistent theme of the desperate quest for approval from
disinterested authority figures!
