Something minor for an upcoming issue of something

Coloured image of a sketch gift for Black House Comics publisher Baden Kirgan earlier in 2012. Features the two characters I have had the pleasure drawing for Black House- My 1940's 'Soldier' character from 'The Soldier Legacy, and the occultist anti-hero Dr. Nikola, from Chris Sequeira's 'Dark Detective: Sherlock Holmes' series.

The character first appeared in 'DD:SH' issue 4, in a story written by Chirs Sequeira, and drawn by series illustrator Phil Cornell. My first published work for Black House was a Nikola pin-up in issue 6 back in 2010, and when 'Soldier Legacy' was picked up by the publisher in mid 2011, Chris pitched an idea for a back up story in 'DD:SH', featuring Dr. Nikola, in a "Marvel team-up" style story with an 1880's version of my Soldier character. Loads of fun, with the last part of that story due out soon, and talks of a one-shot in the very near future. Details soon. Could be something new for Oz Comic-Con Perth and Adelaide...

Dr. Nikola is a Victorian-era character created in the late 1890's by Australian pulp novelist Guy Boothby.

Update! Sherlock Holmes, New Soldier etc.

Just quickly updating, Dark Detective: Sherlock Holmes #7 hits Newsagents this week, with the first part of the Dr Nikola backup story, featuring "The Soldier Legacy" of 1887! for only $5, this book is very cool :D I also have commenced penciling for both part 2 of the story, which will feature in the next book due out the beginning of next year, and Soldier Legacy #4, which is aiming for an April release. Stay tuned for previews :D

I also wish to announce a Black House Comics initiative called 'MACQ' http://www.macqmagazine.com/ which is the only Australian made 'previews' style magazine for Retailers and customers to view some of the best comic books and graphic novels Australia has to offer. The first issue (avaialbe via PDF on the website), showcases both Black House comics, and Gestalt publications- the guys who have produced some awesome Aussie books such as The Deep, Torn, Changing Ways etc. For more info, click here http://www.blackhousecomics.com/articles/macq---whats-it-all-about.html . More publishers and independents to be added as issues progress for sure. And as you can see, both "The Soldier Legacy" and "Dark Detective" are available to order anywhere in Australia! See your local Comic book store for more details.

I also wish to announce that all current Soldier Legacy issues are available online or via order for only $5 each! For 32 pages full colour, why not?!

Gotta go, more updates soon :D
