Text of the page (random words):
davey candlish about cool as beans 1930 s adventurer spencer nero this issue s cover star and his mysterious mask activated alter ego janus the third high octane installment of sci fi epic rise of the mekko sapiens by matthew mclaughlin and vanguardian louis carter a roy thomas conan inspired episode of caveman smushing madness in regular strip jikan courtesy of once again matthew mclaughlin and james corcoran and the 3rd installment of my own tale icarus dangerous with art as ever by the brilliant stephen prestwood excelling himself on this episode with panels such as this as you can see part 3 picks up where part 2 left off with icarus cornered by the bonemen silent inhabitants of the interstellar starship he finds himself trapped on having attempted to rescue the alien female who saved him from drowning he s also struggling to come to terms with the fact that the wings his father constructed for him previously destroyed by his plunge into the ocean have miraculously repaired themselves sprouting feathers where there were none before feathers that have special somewhat explosive properties his make shift wings are not what they used to be though he has no idea yet just how much they or he have changed as he rushes to stay ahead of the bonemen and free meriope from captivity he will come to realise just how different things are and how he will never be the same again this chapter introduces us to a whole bunch of new characters who are destined to play a massive part in future episodes proceedings it was in the writing of this episode and the one that follows that i realised icarus is my zenith in the sense that although he is the title character he is just the eye of a crazy storm that s about to kick off around him and i can t wait to bring it to you with all of this plus a set of extra surprise stories to really put the cherry on top of this ice cream sundae of a comic paragon issue 9 is a mag you re sure to get your money s worth from so head on over to the paragon blog and read about how to pick yourself up a copy enjoy d posted by van dom at 9 33 pm no comments labels icarus dangerous paragon stephen prestwood thursday november 3 2011 hallowscream 2011 it s here it s out it s awesome the 2011 edition of back from the depths hallowscream is now available to download free and its the biggest and best one yet hours of reading here with some great tales and artwork to be found within these virtual pages this is my second year contributing and once again i ve been lucky enough to work with two fantastic artists check out bhuna s superb full colour artwork on speed date 2 cruz control and tony rothwell s darkly atmospheric etchings on wonderful world of delight serendipity the comic also contains a fantastic monster tale written by my old pal matthew mclaughlin and illustrated by the wonderful stop you in your tracks and rip your jaw right off your face ghostpockets who i collaborated with for the original speed date in last year s edition hallowscream 2011 so bloody good it s horrifying download from clickwheel or dropbox or view online at myebook posted by van dom at 9 28 pm 1 comment labels bhuna hallowscream tony rothwell saturday october 29 2011 the things you should fear the most aren t necessarily the ones that are mad screaming obvious last year one of the very first comics i wrote wonderful world of delight appeared online in the 7th edition of temple apa almost two years on and this story remains close to my heart as one of my favourite creations which is odd as it was originally conceived as a throw away strip a quick tale with a gimmick that would be done and dusted in a couple of pages and that would be the end of it thing is in the process of writing it i created this bloke called robin baskerville a larger than life nutter who somehow took on a life of his own and refused to get out of my head and leave me be it was almost as if he had taken up residence in my imagination i could hear him whispering to me in the night whaddaya mean i only got one story to tell are you outta your frosty freakin mind i got a gazillion stories to tell you might think you know me but you ain t got no idea chump i ve got stories to tell that you would not believe it s true robin has since filled me in on everything about him his entire life story and history who he really is what he really does it didn t make for easy imagining and i can t even tell anyone about it robin scares me he s bad the baddest of the bad this guy who created himself is the nastiest vilest creation that has ever popped into my head i know i need to tell his story all of it i m just not quite sure how i m going to do it yet i have made a start though robin s second adventure is ready for consumption and will appear in this year s edition of hallowscream just a couple of days hence here s a few panels from the story with new artist tony rothwell more than filling the sizeable shoes left by conor boyle who illustrated the original tale and putting his own unique and darkly humourous stamp on things the new tale wonderful world of serendipity will give fresh insight into the depth of robin s depravity but it won t scratch the surface of the unthinkable horrors that are yet to be revealed i didn t have the necessary gumption to get into all of that right away thought it best to simply present another snapshot of robin as he is in the here and now of his zombie ravaged apocalyptic wonderful world before delving into his past and opening up a pandora s box of terror that s for another time another place but mr baskerville s tale will be told and when it is you may very well regret hearing it but not half as much as i regret being the one who has to tell it posted by van dom at 9 20 pm 1 comment labels hallowscream robin baskerville temple apa tony rothwell wonderful world of delight wonderful world of serendipity friday october 14 2011 mid october update well where to begin it s been a while since i ve posted anything here you might think that s because i ve been working on looooooooooooads of new projects but in actuality i haven t nothing creative at least real life has been keeping my civilian alter ego busy and hasn t left much time for van dom to strut his funky stuff taking down criminal masterminds saving damsels in distress and writing strange and messed up comic scripts nothing new anyway though i have been tinkering away at certain works in progres nevertheless there are a few things that have been happening first and foremost vanguard my self published comic has gone down pretty well i m happy to report i ve sold nearly all my printed copies and had some very good feedback and have also gathered up a few industry reviews all of which were pretty positive nobody told me to stop anyway and that s always a good sign you can get the skinny on all of that with links to all the reviews and some info about the upcoming issue 2 over on the vanguard blog there s still a handful of copies left too if you haven t gotten around to picking one up yet ordering info can also be found on the vanguard blog as a result of putting vanguard together i also found myself in a position to be nominated for the inaugural irish comic news awards seemingly to my surprise some people did indeed nominate me and to my even greater surprise my name now appears on the short list for voting in not one but two categories so you can vote for me as best self published writer or vanguard as best self published comic obviously i m not going to win or even come close just look at who is on the short list egads what kind of whippersnapper am i even daring to have my name in there but it s definately an honour to be nominated and i m very grateful so a big big thanks to anybody who did so and of course if you do want to vote for me i certainly won t tell you not to over in paragon my ongoing adventure series icarus dangerous seems to be going down pretty well also i got a few good reviews for episode 1 and managed to more or less keep it going for episode 2 although the forbidden planet reviewer was a little disappointed that this episode wasn t as simple and straightforward as the first part not quite sure what to make of that really as this story as a whole is far from simple or straightforward hopefully episode 3 will get him back on board meanwhile over at comics bulletin the reviewer thoroughly enjoyed it so go figure what do you think of the story i d love to hear your views do you remember speed date a short gorey horror tale i wrote for last year s hallowscream well a few points of interest in relation to it first of all there is a sequel of course there is a sequel i couldn t in good conscience leave it the way it ended not with that vicious bastard tucker still on the loose a threat to honest to goodness soulmate seeking speed daters everywhere common decency demanded that i revisit the character and present a what happened next type epilogue to the tale a full colour and what colour tale of love and romance that is now in the can courtesy of the wonderful bhuna and being lettered as we speak speed date 2 cruz control is like all good sequels everything the first part had but more more violence more blood more death more twists it is honestly the bloodiest 6 pages of comic i have ever witnessed they don t come much more blood soaked than this people so keep an eye out for this year s hallowscream at the end of the month to find out if tucker gets his come uppance or not hint tucker will continue to appear in a 1 page ongoing strip in vanguard from issue 2 anti hint that doesn t necessarily mean what you think it does or does it in the meantime here are some sneak peaks from this blood drenched tale the second item of speed date related news is that the movie version of part 1 renamed speed kills as a short movie called speed date already exists is finally finished and it looks bloody great audience reaction at a test screening recently was overwhelmingly positive which was lucky as both myself as the writer of the original story and alan rogers director producer and star of the movie were sitting there in nervous anticipation of being run out of town for coming up with something so nasty and vile alan captured tucker s charm perfectly though and somehow this made the acts he commits in the film just that little bit more palatable the really big news though is that the movie has been picked to appear as part of the short film showcase at this year s horrorthon festival in the ifi in dublin it s being shown on october the 31st at 11am part of the short film showcase so if you are in the area and fancy checking it out please come along more info about this can be found on the horrorthon website here be warned you will be subjected to images such as this yikes that s pretty much about all i have for you at the moment it s too early to start previewing images from all the stories in the next issue of vanguard and everything else i am involved in is still in the early stages of w i p i will be back before the end of the month though with news on another strip due to appear in hallowscream which features the return of another of my nastier creations the jolly jovial jingle singing zombie feeder killer robin baskerville this time rendered by the wonderful tony rothwell sneak peak below rounds out this entry ta ta for now posted by van dom at 1 26 pm no comments labels hallowscream speed date tucker vanguard thursday august 11 2011 icarus is out yep paragon issue 8 is finally out and having received and read my copy today i can safely say it s a stonker cosied up alongside wonderful scripts by mark howard the emperor and matthew mclaughlin is chapter ii of my greek legend gone interstellar epic icarus dangerous in which our danger prone hero icarus says if you read chapter 1 and if you didn t stop reading this now and go read the blog entry for paragon issue 7 instead you ll know that icarus has been saved from a watery grave by a strange amphibious female who seconds later is captured and taken on board a monstrosity of a deeply submersed spacecraft icarus helpful chap that he is and nothing at all to do with the fact that some extremely hot bikini clad alien chiquita has just planted a whopper on his lips and might be up for offering a little more if he plays his cards right decides to give chase in an attempt to rescue the damsel in distress who has just saved his life a noble idea if not the smartest one but then icarus never
