It truly is, one of the best graphic novels I've read in a long while, nearly up there, but not quite with MAUS by Art Spiegelman

woodsman · 17th July 2008, 05:22 PM

Is anything?

Perpetual Man · 17th July 2008, 05:32 PM

Well.... off the top of my head no. (But that does not mean to say that there isn't) Playing it safe there!

Spac3Monkey · 17th July 2008, 07:30 PM

I am stupidly behind on my reading and still have Maus on the pile. Been busy writing, any of you guys do your own stuff?

Perpetual Man · 17th July 2008, 07:40 PM

Oh, I used to, many, many years ago. I rote a few things that were fairly well received in a few very small circles, but never took it much further than that.

Spac3Monkey · 17th July 2008, 07:55 PM

What kind of stuff do you do?

Spac3Monkey · 17th July 2008, 07:59 PM

Just finished 'Faker' not to impressed if I'm honest not bad but not great. Read it in work

Perpetual Man · 17th July 2008, 08:02 PM

It was a science fiction/time travel adventure. (and a few superhero things on the side)
What about you?

Spac3Monkey · 17th July 2008, 08:12 PM

Quite a lot of genres to be honest. I have just finished a crime revenge story. Have another on the go about post nuclear war and various other ideas buzzing through my mind. I think the problem is having too many ideas rather than a lack of them.
A friend and I have setup a company called Broken English Comics, we are currently working on some ideas and a website.
I'm really interested in what people are currently putting out there and how they get them published, how about yours?

Nope, not graphic novel-wise. Can't draw well enough to satisfy myself, I hope one day to find someone to put art to my words.

Otherwise lots of people (myself included) write conventional

prose fiction on the forums.

Perpetual Man · 17th July 2008, 08:27 PM

Mine was published in parts by a small press (very small press) publisher called North London Comics, a simple but fun affair run by friends. I've not really attempted to write comicstrips in years. Like Woodsman I've played with prose, but even that has slowed right down recently

Spac3Monkey · 18th July 2008, 12:05 AM

Do you have any copies, I would love to give it a read.

my friend and I work with a few artists, most that we have met online

Perpetual Man · 18th July 2008, 09:01 AM

I might have. I'll have a look around over the weekend and see what I can find. Thanks for the interest...
