I will now have to check my notes...
if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

I've reposted the three from the previous thread: Al Ewing/PJ; LoD/MGB; Enigmatic Dr X and El Chivo, since they all meet the brief.

I have a feeling that the previous thread just got so clogged up with random shit from people's web comics that he needed a more specific thread. Mind you, we already seem to be having problems with reading comprehension from some of the posters ...

Cheers!

2 to 3 pages now, is it? Sounds to me like he can't make up his mind...   :-\

Some of it is a little unclear - he says 1, 2 and 3 in the subject line but in the body of the text he says:

Quote
This is where you submit a two or three page story for our consideration in the magazine.

As he seems OK with Jim moving the one-pagers over to here then that seems OK too. Which is good for me as a I have a few in the drawer.

My favourite bit is where he says "it just has to be really, really good". Thank for that, Mark, most helpful!

I shall duly raid the Story Cupboard later on (when I've been to the pub, voted and packed for a weekend away) and no doubt harass charm some artistic types....

Back end of last week and the start of this were a bit mental, but the workload has tailed off a bit -- if anyone has any new submissions they want lettering, I may well be able to fit some additional work in, so feel free to ask!

Cheers

I'd like to have a go on this one, but ideally I'd like to draw something with pretty ladies in...
The age group MM is aiming at is the lads mag demographic and I think there is mileage in something that will boggle their eyes then make them think for a moment too... get those football-heads thinking for the first time... if anyone has something like this, and would like to collaborate... please PM me.

Why doesn't Mark just bankroll FQ? I'm sure he wouldn't be sorry...

If I didn't have Bristol to prep for in a couple of weeks I'd be so desperately looking for a writer right now!
