- About Me:
- I've been passionate about comics for more than 25 years, and still get excited when I flip through the latest issue of Previews. My personal collection is now around the 30,000 mark and growing every week. After dabbling in the comics industry myself in the early 90's I've decided to finally jump in with both feet and set-up a small press outfit of my own with long-time collaborator Andy Dodd. I know we'll be a tiny fish in a big pond, but I'm looking forward to splashing around!
- Favourite British Comic
- 2000AD - shame there's no other weeklies to choose from!
- Favourite TV Shows:
- The usual genre stuff - Star Trek, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Firefly, 24, 4400, Alias, X-Files, Heroes!

Comics have changed dramatically in the last 30 years and so have I - that grey follicled, balding man who looks back at me in the mirror is a daily reminder of that. And - get this - the 23 year old girl in my local comics shop insis…
