<b><b>Above:</b> </b>Finished page two pencils. <br />
<b>DB:</b> As you can see I decided to shrink panel 3 which is just a picture of Johnny's face to give me more space for panel four. Writers new to writing comic scripts might want to consider this with regards to 'not packing' too much (visual & words) into a page which already has six panels on a page and is being printed at A5 (half the page size of 2000AD). This is just my opinion and and not a comment on Paul Eldridges script.<br />

<b>Conclusion:</b><br />
<b>DB: </b> I had just had some really bad news regarding someone close to me. Even though I'm only doing unpaid small-press artwork I take deadlines and 'project commitments' such as this script very seriously. After all as the saying goes 'Reputation is all.' To be honest I just wanted to get this script done so I could concentrate on personal matters. However if Paul is reading this post I would like to say that I felt it was a 'good' script and I was grateful to have something to take my mind off of things. I only hope that I did your story justice Paul.<br />

<i>Zarjaz</i> (THE 2000AD Fanzine) was started in 2001 by Andrew J. Lewis. Zarjaz is now being produced and published by FutureQuake Publishing (May 2008) under the editorship of Dave Evans A.K.A. Bolt 01 along with Richmond Clements who assists him with editorial. Quite a few people who have had work published in this fanzine have then gone on to work in 2000AD 'The Galaxy's greatest comic'. <a href="https://www.futurequake.co.uk/futurequake/" target="_blank">Link to the FutureQuake online shop. </a><br />
<br />
It wasn't until 2010 that I heard about 'Zarjaz' and decided to submit my own comic strip entitled 'The Graduate' to Bolt 01 and his editorial team to see if they would publish it. At the time of writing this post I have provided artwork for 27 stories and over 200 pages of artwork for Zarjaz, Dogbreath and FutureQuake. All of which are detailed in this post.<br />

Dedicated to the world of 2000AD/STARLORD character Johnny Alpha - Strontium Dog, the first issue of Dogbreath came out in 1997 produced by Dr. Bob. This fanzine was continued in 2006 issue 15 by the FutureQuake team of Dave Evans and Richmond Clements.<br />

<b>A Little about me...</b> I realised my love of comics at an early age. Brought up
on a constant diet of American and British comics like The Amazing
Spider Man, Countdown and 2000AD in the 70's, it was not long before I
began to create my own comics. After gaining qualifications from Epsom
School of Art and Design in the 80's, I began design work for local
companies. My spare time was spent drawing and publishing my own small
press-comics.<br />
<br />
Like a lot of hopeful artists I am constantly at the drawing board practicing and training to be able to work from scripts, the objective being able to pencil and ink full comic book pages in as shorter time as possible. Hopefully (but unlikely) in the event that a big publishing company gives me work I will be able to hit the ground running and hit the deadline with decent artwork (depending on ones taste) being provided. A lot of my working methods are detailed via links on this post.<br />
<br />
If there are any of the big companies out there (2000AD/Rebellion.) looking for some one to draw for them...maybe give me a chance.<br />

<br />
<b>Introduction:</b><br />
Dave Evan's editor of the 2000AD fanzine Zarjaz contacted me on 16/03/16 with a script by Matt Sharp featuring one of my all time favourite 2000AD future war stories 'The V.C.'s. Originally commissioned by 2000AD editor Steve McManus and created by Gerry Finley-Day & Mike McMahon. As a big fan or the original series accepting the script was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
<b>The Script:</b><br />
<b>DB:</b> Here is a word from the prolific and very knowledgeable regarding all things 2000AD, script witer Matt Sharp.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>BACKGROUND</b><br />
<br />
<b>MS:</b> Whilst he was working on the artwork for ABC
Warriors: The Final Battle (which appeared in the Zarjaz Summer Special
2016 – buy it today!) ace artist David Broughton mentioned that he’d
always wanted to draw a script for the epic space opera story, The VCs,
which appeared in 2000 AD from prog 140 – 175, way back in 1979, which
involved ‘zero gravity combat and a space battle’. <br />
<br />
I
quickly formulated an idea of the crew of the VCs’ ship joining in with a
commando raid on a Geek base somewhere near Uranus (the only planet in
the Solar System that isn’t actually mentioned during the original run
of the VCs), formulating an idea of Smith being thrilled to be
‘volunteered’ to join with a squad of ‘Rat Pack from Battle’ style
misfits from an Earth colony on the moon of Miranda to take out a
gravity generator station of one of Uranus’ moons, only to discover he’s
only along to act as a rearguard and sentry. The commandoes would
succeed in their mission, but none of them would get back alive, and the
final scene would be Smith witnessing an epic battle scene between the
Earth and Geek fleets as the VCs ship battles with a fighter group. I
then set about coming up with a first draft, which was eight pages long.
<br />
<br />
However, David has also asked that I made the script
‘less complicated than the ABC Warriors one!’ which I admit had run away
with me somewhat, so I thought it through again, deleting eleven
speaking characters and two space fleets from the first draft. The
script was now a more manageable four pages long, and can be read here
http://www.futurequake.co.uk/submissions if you want to read a script
rather than a comic, you weirdo. <br />
<br />
Rereading the original
progs, I found that there was quite a lot of background material
featured that never made it into the story, such as the amazing looking
Proto-geek that appears in Starlord’s Guide to the Galaxy, as well as a
few things that are mentioned in the strip itself but are never actually
used, such as the Land Torpedo. I decided to incorporate these into
the script. While trying to determine what sound a Blitz Cannon made
when it was fired, I realised for the first time that there were no
sound effects in space in The VCs (apart from a few spaceship
explosions) – which is a very nice touch, even though it took me decades
to notice! <br />
<br />
<b>Rough Designs and Page Layouts.</b><br />
As usual before starting the finished page artwork I read the script a
couple of times and then go about creating rough page layouts and
character designs.<br />

</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b>I had a great time drawing this script. Getting the chance to draw the classic V.C. troopers space suit and the Geeks really brought back happy memories of reading 2000AD in bed every Saturday morning nearly forty years ago.<br />

<b>Above: </b>Cover for Detective Gallo and the Unholy Company.<br />
<br />
<b>Introduction.<br /> </b><br />
<b>Spain, 1949</b> - a nation in thrall to General Franco's fascist regime.
<br />Where fear reigns, the agents of El Diablo – the very Devil himself <br />
–slither forth. Who stands between us and these foul forces?<br />Is there a
hero, noble and brave, who can keep the darkness at bay?<br /><br /> <br />
Well... no. Not anymore. So we'll just have to make do with a sarcastic, <br />middle-aged policeman instead. <br />
<br />Say hello to Gallo.<br />

<b>Above:</b> Johnny Alpha on the trail of an SD Agent gone bad.<br />
<br />
<b>Introduction:</b><br />
Way back in July 2012 I had worked on a Judge Dredd story Entitled 'Big Jimping' written by Lee Robson for the 2000AD fanzine 'Zarjaz'. When Dave Evans the editor
of 'Zarjaz and Dogbreath' sent<br />
<a name='more'></a> me Lee's script for Strontium Dog 'No choice at all' I knew it was going to be a great story.<br />
<br />
<b>The Script:</b><br />
<b>DB:</b> Here is a word from Lee.<br />
<br />
<b>LR:</b> There’s no easy way to say this, so I’m just going to come out and
say it: I’m not a massive fan of Strontium Dog. So, when editor
extraordinaire Bolt-01 asked me to contribute a couple of scripts to
Dogbreath, I stupidly said yes…<br />
<br />
I knew going in that I
wanted to take another crack at Durham Red. With my first attempt, back
in Dogbreath #27, I never really got the character right, so I wanted to
try again, with something more simple and straightforward. Once I
started to lay out the foundations of what became Like A Dog, one plot
beat kept niggling away at me: Durham was set up to become the unwitting
star of a “snuff” vid. But who had set her up?<br />
<br />
I knew it
had to be another S/D agent, but if it wasn’t a personal grudge (which –
spoilers! – it’s not), then it would stand to reason that she wasn’t
the only Stront that was set up. And if agents were being set up, then,
surely, Johnny Alpha was the man to get to the bottom of it…<br />
<br />
Once I started to connect those dots, No Choice At All started to come together. <br />
<br />
The
idea was to set the story at the same time as Like A Dog, but also push
away from the “Western in space” approach that I’d tried on my previous
attempts at writing Alpha. This time, I decided, I’d set the whole
thing in an urban environment and have Alpha on the run, because… Well,
at the time, I didn’t know why he would be on the run. All I had was the
idea of the story starting in the middle of a scene, with Alpha
stranded on a ledge while the local police searched the room beyond. I
knew I had to somehow connect that scene to the idea of Alpha trying to
track down the traitor from The Doghouse, but I really couldn’t figure
it out.<br />
<br />
After a lot of frustrating starts and stops, I
finally managed to pull the story threads together – albeit very, very
slowly – and started bridging all the gaps that would link the story to
Like A Dog. My only problem was, I didn’t have an ending…<br />
<br />
By
that, I mean – spoilers! – Alpha gets his man, but, the way the story
unfolded, he was still wanted by the local police and trapped in an
unfamiliar city, and I was running out of pages (I’d set myself a very
rigid eight page target). So, I had to, basically, end it how I started
it, in the middle of a scene. <br />
<br />
I was never completely
happy with the ending I came up with, I’ll admit, but, by the time I got
there, I was just glad to have the thing finished and submitted, and
the lads at Zarjaz seemed to like it, so who was I to argue? Looking
back it now, though, I kind of dig it…<br />
<br />
I got paired up
with Paul Williams for Like A Dog and David for No Choice At All. I’d
worked with both of them before (both on Dredd tales for Zarjaz, oddly
enough), and I knew both of them would bring their A Game, so I wouldn’t
have to worry on that front. It’s fair to say, though, they both
surprised me with what they came up with: Paul’s dynamic storytelling
knocked me off my feet, and David came up with what has to be one of the
best Strontium Dog designs I’ve ever seen, with the villainous Gil
Gilman.<br />
<br />
From my perspective, it was an interesting
experiment, trying to tell these two stories like that; it pushed me out
of my comfort zone in more ways than one, and I learned a lot from
trying it – mainly that I should never try it again…<br />
<br />
<b>DB: </b>Thanks Lee. <br />
<br />
<b>Rough Designs and Page Layouts.</b><br />
As usual before starting the finished page artwork I read the script a couple of times and then go about creating rough page layouts and character designs.<br />
<br />

<b>Above:</b> No body can draw Johnny Alpha as good as his co-creator Carlos Ezquerra. In fact (in my humble opinion) artists hoping to get anywhere close drawing a good Johnny Alpha need to almost mimic Carlos's style...at least for the face. This is something that I had stuck to when drawing Johnny for previous Dogbreath scripts. This time I decided to have a go at a little redesign on Johnny's helmet, his clothes and try and put a little more of my 'take' on Johnny's face. <br />

<b>Above:</b> The Mek-Nificent Seven return to the 2000AD Fanzine 2016 Summer Special.<br />
<br />
<b>Introduction:</b><br />
I've collaborated on various scripts for the 2000AD Fanzine Zarjaz with Matt Sharp. These include Comic Rock Silver Song, Strontium Dogs First Day and recently The V.C.'s Raid on Caliban. I had asked Matt if he would write me an ABC Warriors script and so when Dave Evans the editor of<br />
<a name='more'></a>'Zarjaz' sent me the commissioning email I didn't even bother to read the script before I accepted the work. I did however check the deadline for the story first as I knew I would'nt be able to start work on it for a fair few months.<br />
<br />
<b>The Script:</b><br />
<b>DB:</b> Here is a word from Matt Sharp about writing 'The Final Battle.'<br />
<br />
<b>THE FINAL BATTLE BACKGROUND </b><br />
<br />
The inspiration to write
The Final Battle came from David Broughton; shortly after he’d finished
drawing Comic Rock: Silver Song (which appeared in Zarjaz 23 – buy it
today!) he mentioned that he’d like to draw ‘a kick arse ABC Warriors
battle story… one set early on in the first Volgan Wars with Happy
Shrapnel, the Mess, etc, etc’. I took the hint and ran with it and set
my mind to coming up with ideas. <br />
<br />
I quickly decided not to
set the story during the Volgan War – apart from anything else, the
Mess in particular would have proved problematic to include, as he
didn’t actually exist until after the War was over. I decided to set
the story during the Mars mission instead, when the Warriors are already
acting as a team. We see a Volgan army escaping from the Fall of
Volgow in prog 120, and the text story The Retreat from Volgow in the
1981 2000 AD Annual goes into a bit more detail, and I liked the idea of
seeing a tattered and scarred remnant of a once powerful old enemy
turning to battle with the ABC Warriors once again. I was also inspired
by a half remembered story from Battle based on the Action Force toy
line when the more Americanised, GI Joe versions replaced the old
Z-Forces and SAS and so on – despite being obliterated by the forces of
Cobra, a remnant force of Red Shadows continued to exist as a threat to
both sides, becoming increasingly tatty looking every time they made an
appearance.<br />
<br />
I just needed to find a way of getting them
to Mars and quickly came up with the idea of a prototype carrier ship,
the Imperator Volgod I, named after a character killed in prog 120. The
name was partially inspired by the Imperial Russian dreadnought
Imperator Nikolai I, which was supposed to prove the deciding factor
against the rival fleet of the Ottoman Empire during the First World
War, and it might have been if it wasn’t for the fact that it took
eleven years to build it, by which time the war was long over, the ship
was hopelessly obsolete and both the Russian Empire and the Ottoman
Empire had ceased to exist. Making the vessel a carrier ship also
allowed me to include other Volgan vehicles from the strip – so there
are Killcopters from Hammer-Stein’s War Memoirs and Men O’War, as used
by Blackblood’s Straw Dogs, as well as a couple of other craft, floating
landing craft-type vehicles and hover tanks for David to design. The
hovertanks were originally going to be Daddy Long Legs, also used by the
Straw Dogs, but as I’d set the action somewhere with no solid ground I
felt I had to replace them, and it didn’t occur to me until it was far
too late that I could have had them scuttling about on top of the Volgod
I itself. Oh, well… <br />
<br />
The Warriors themselves also arrive
in a vehicle. I was sure that they used a drop ship in the original
Mars tales, but couldn’t find any trace of it apart from what might be
the craft’s interior on the front cover of Titan Books ABC Warriors Book
II. False memory, perhaps; although interestingly a previous Zarjaz
strip – the excellent Red Spice by Lee Robson and Alfie Gallagher in
Zarjaz 25 (buy it today!) – also has the Warriors transported by a
similar drop ship. <br />
<br />
I kept the idea of a ‘kick arse battle
scene’ as the key to the plot, and had the Warriors making an entirely
unsubtle attack on the ship, each character making their unique way
towards the final goal, with another character thrown in to spice things
up a bit <br />
and allowing me to use a gag I’ve been using for years. Seemed straightforward enough, all I had to do was write the script… <br />
<br />
It
didn’t actually take that long to write it down, but it got very
complicated, very quickly. My initial plan of a maximum of eight pages
ended up as a thirteen page long script, filled with crowd scenes and
epic fight scenes. I spent a while worrying that it might be too much
of a challenge to draw, but then I submitted it anyway. After a while, I
got some feedback from Bolt and Richmond – they liked it a lot (even
though they admitted it was extremely complicated), but it was too long,
they wanted it to be split into two episodes and no more than ten pages
long. <br />
<br />
Splitting it into two episodes was easy, as it had
a cliffhanger in the middle anyway (“Thanks, Happy – we know!”) and by
cutting a scene with Blackblood verses the last of the Straw Dogs (he
got put into the background of Hammer-Stein’s scenes instead, being
sarcastic and exasperated) and attempting to move Deadlock’s battle in
the air into the background (in the end, this wouldn’t fit onto the page
so the whole thing happens when we’re not looking) it was down to
eleven pages. Cutting one or other of Joe Pineapples and Happy
Shrapnel’s pages would have got it down to the required length, but I
managed to get away with leaving them both in. <br />
<br />
The second
version was accepted, and quickly got accepted in turn by David
Broughton, and it was thrilling to discover that the story was going to
be double the normal Zarjaz size in the first Zarjaz Summer Special!
David also requested a VCs story (with zero gravity scenes and a space
battle) and I was happy to oblige, but with the condition that I wasn’t
to make it as complicated as The Final Battle! <br />
<br />
<b>Deleted Scene – Deadlock’s Battle in the Air </b><br />
<br />
<b>Frame Four </b><br />
We’re
behind Deadlock as he speeds towards a Man O’War on his bike; he has
the Ace of Swords raised above his head as he charges forwards. An
ARTILLERYMAN is visible standing in the back of the Man O’War, he has a
shoulder mounted missile launcher that he is pointing in Deadlock’s
direction. <br />
<br />
No dialogue<br />
<br />
<b>Frame Five</b> <br />
Reverse
angle of Page Four Frame Four, FIGHTING MACHINE, the robotic pilot of
the Man O’War (maybe he’s one of Blackblood’s Straw Dogs), is in the
f/g, concentrating on piloting the craft, we have a view of the back of
the Artilleryman as he fires the missile launcher towards the distant
figure of Deadlock charging forwards in the b/g. <br />
<br />
FX (MISSILE LAUNCHER): <br />
<b>Fwooosh! </b><br />
<br />
<b>Frame Six </b><br />
Medium
view of the missile impacting with Deadlock and his cycle – there’s a
massive fireball, completely obliterating any sign of Deadlock, although
we can still see the bike. <br />
<br />
FX (EXPLOSION): <br />
<b>Whoomp! </b><br />
<br />
<b>Frame Seven </b><br />
Deadlock’s bike has flown on through the explosion, trailing smoke and flames in its wake - but there’s no sign of Deadlock! <br />
<br />

<b>Page Five </b><br />
Five frames <br />
<br />
<b>Frame One </b><br />
A
rear view of the Man O’War, the Artilleryman is lowering his missile
launcher but he’s looking more surprised than anything. Fighting
Machine is turning his head towards the Artilleryman. Far in the b/g,
directly ahead of the Man O’War, a sparking sphere is beginning to form
in the air. <br />
<br />
ARTILLERYMAN: <br />
Ich… ich morgen das robotskahexenmeister! Ich dronken… <br />
<br />
FIGHTING MACHINE: <br />
Vasses lash ‘ich dronken’…? <br />
<br />
<b>Frame Two </b><br />
The
Man O’War has moved forwards again, towards the sparkling sphere. The
sphere has expanded, it’s a mass of Kirby-dots and the figure of
Deadlock is emerging from the centre of it. Fighting Machine has turned
back to face forward, the Artilleryman is starting to turn around. <br />
<br />
FIGHTING MACHINE: <br />
Akh! <br />
<br />
<b>Frame Three </b><br />
Deadlock
swoops over the Man O’War, his tattered cape spread like great wings,
the Ace of Swords in his hand is slicing through the air. Fighting
Machine’s head has been severed and is falling away in its wake; the
blade is just about to slice through the Artilleryman. He looks
horrified. <br />
<br />
DEADLOCK: <br />
Nourishment! <br />
<br />
<b>Frame Four </b><br />
Deadlock
floats in mid air, his face hidden by the folds of his hood, all we can
see are his glowing eyes. His bike is manoeuvring towards him in the
b/g, as though summoned. The crewless Man O’War is falling out of the
sky. <br />

<b>Rough Designs and Page Layouts.</b><br />

on the rough page layouts...<br />

<b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Conclusion.</b><br />
</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b>Drawing the ABC Warriors was fun. Matt's script was at times a challenge<b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b> </b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b>which pushed me to come up with (hopfully?) more dynamic page layouts that were packed with panels, word balloons, SFX and panel details galore. <b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><br />

<b>Read The Real Atlantis here: </b><a href="http://joshspillercomics.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Joshspillercomics.tumblr.com </a><br />
<br />
<b>Introduction: </b>By Joshua Spiller.<b><br /></b><br />
The initial spur for 'The Real Atlantis' came from where it would be published: my new Tumblr blog. As I had my own platform, I figured I might as well use it for material that probably wouldn't fit<br />
<a name='more'></a>neatly into any of the comic anthologies currently out there. With no editorial briefs, this was an opportunity to do whatever story I fancied, to my own specifications. (By the by, I'd already had two comics uploaded to the blog, both previously printed in FutureQuake. However, this would be the first one where I sourced and commissioned the artist myself.) As a general rule, I like to the find the artist before I write the script, so that I can tailor the story to their style. But, in this particular case, I had an idea I was itching to do, so I thought I'd write the script for the heck of it and hopefully find a suitable artist soon after. The formative spark of inspiration for 'The Real Atlantis' (no, I don't think I'm being too highfalutin in my language regarding a barely seen 5-page comic. If anything, I'm not being falutin enough) came from watching the BBC's Blue Planet. Admittedly, I was about 15 years behind the curve (this documentary about the ocean was broadcast in 2001) but nonetheless, I was stunned. Captured on this series, there were fish who mated with the male biting onto the larger female, and then staying there for the rest of its life, fusing with her in a trade of nutrients - via her blood - for a constant supply of sperm... there were fish which resided in the ocean's pitch-black depths, and which fired out a neon-blue (!!) goop that stuck to any predators pursuing them, thereby essentially placing a flashing target sign on those predators, and turning them into the soon-to-be prey of an even bigger animal... there was a crab whose feet could taste the sand it walked on... and polyps that could extrude their guts to eat their enemies alive... You get the gist. By the end, I was convinced that, no matter how crazy a creature you imagined, it probably existed somewhere out there in the ocean's mind-staggeringly immense gulfs. So, why not give it a go? At worst, when the species I dreamt up was later discovered to be true, I would at least be fêted as one of those prophetic sci-fi writers who sensed what was to come (see page 3 of 'The Real Atlantis' for this creature). But even if - horror of horrors - that didn't happen, I also thought that a more realistic depiction of the ocean might surprise and interest readers. This manifested, in the story, with the inclusion of an underwater mountain range, and with the sounds-poetic-but-is-unpleasant marine snow. I also thought that there were details in Blue Planet that would be good for generating a dark atmosphere in a story (such as the hagfish, which, if you youtube them, are the ugliest little flesheaters you've ever seen). The above Blue Planet ideas dovetailed with another strand of thought: I wanted to create some weird lineage of monsters, where two recognisable species of monsters had mated in the past, producing something new and fresh. This wasn't an approach that I'd seen done before, and it felt like a) it could act as antidote to the 21st-century culture's besotted regurgitation of the same tired old monsters, such as the zombie and vampire, and b) that if any writers came across the concept and liked it, then they could use it as a springboard to create their own innovative (I'm highfalutin' again) terrors. Unfortunately, because I wanted the monsters to at first appear to be a long-lost race of Atlanteans, and because - for the reveal of their heritage to be effective - their ancestors had to be monsters that the reader was familiar with, this severely limited my options. I wracked my brain and trawled world mythologies, looking for the right candidates. Gryphon? Kraken? Cyclops? None of these fit the bill, as the question of how their monstrous forms could - within the context of the story - produce such human-looking offspring, would surely be confusing. In the end, for one half of the "Atlantean" parentage, I resorted to one of the the well-worn 20th century monster icons that the concept had been designed to undermine (as it's part of the twist, you'll have to read the comic to find out which one). For the other half, I was able to be a bit more imaginative. (And although the execution of this idea fell somewhat short of my hopes, David's design of the monster significantly helped matters, as he managed to take a hackneyed trope of terror and inject it with fresh life.) So, showing off the deep sea, and monster lineage - these were the core ideas that formed the basisof the story. The only other ingredient involved at the outset was a kind of dream image, of a centuries-eroded sphinx squatting at the bottom of the ocean, which I just thought would make for a cool visual, maybe for a splash page or something like that. After having the basic elements in place around which the narrative will be built, I always - for a 5page comic - come up with a three-point structure for the plot. You know, just something simple. For instance, for a comedy comic I wrote, this three-point structure was something along the lines of: 1. Wizard falls into our world 2. He sees different parts of our world 3. He heads home, unable to cope with weirdness of our world Sure, it might not make the story sound like much, but this exercise is useful for a few reasons. Firstly, it ensures your narrative has a solid, clear structure. Secondly, it stops your narrative running away from you, spilling over the intended page count. And finally, I find that, if a 5-page comic only attempts to cover three plot points, then it has the space to let the story breathe, which is crucial. It can be the difference between a cracking, memorable read, and an unintelligible, crammed-together-feeling mess. With a couple of core ideas that I'm excited about, and the three-point structure in place, the story usually grows fairly organically from thereon in, with me doing what I always do: filling in the remaining gaps with whatever ideas will both work, and sound interesting or enjoyable to me. This wasthe case with 'The Real Atlantis'. I then did thumbnails of the five pages, jotting down any scraps of dialogue or notes that occurred to me and seemed useful. During this stage of the process, I'm also working out the the narrative in finer detail,breaking it down into its page-by-page and panel-by-panel components. With that done, I had a strong skeleton of 'The Real Atlantis' in place. I knew it would work. Afterwards, it was just a matter of writing out the full script, telling the story as powerfully I could, and imagining all the last bits (the exact dialogue in every panel, the exact scenery in the panels, etc) that hadn't needed to be decided before that final run-through. I only did one draft of the full script but, as ever, I took my time over it to make sure I got it right. Midway through writing the script, I had the bright idea that I better find an artist. I contacted David, having seen his art in an issue of Psychedelic Journal of Time Travel, and was thrilled when he said he was up for collaborating. Weirdly, it was only when I had a closer look through his portfolio that I realised he'd be a great fit for 'The Real Atlantis', and sent him that script. He, for his part, finished the art five days ahead of schedule. Not too shabby. Lastly, the art was lettered by the excellent and seemingly overworked Bolt-01 (a resident at FutureQuake) who also sorted out the digital versions of the pages, so they were ready to be uploaded onto my blog. And that, by and large, is pretty much how the comic came to be. If you've read it, I hope you enjoyed it. And if you haven't read it, you've basically gone straight to the DVD extra before watching the main movie, you weirdo - correct that heinous error here. Or, to check out the other comics I've written - and see the superb art that brings them to life - simply click here. Adios, amigos.<br />

<b>The Script:</b> Matt Sharp gives us an insight into his ideas for 'First Day'.<br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5">I initially responded to Dogbreath’s ‘call to arms’ for Strontium Dog script submissions with a prose story called ‘Twilight of the Dogs’, which I thought might be a quick and easy way of filling a few pages with the minimum of artwork. Dave and Richmond seemed to really like it and it appeared in Dogbreath 28, with art by Jim Campbell (buy it today!). I decided to have a go at writing an actual comic strip. I wracked my brain for ideas, eventually settling on a couple of rookie Stronts arriving at the Doghouse and receiving a guided tour of the weird environment. I concocted the characters that would eventually become Urb and Stell, and after considering a whole range of possible guides (including, but not limited to, Middenface McNulty, Maeve the Many Armed and Kid Knee) I recalled that one of the supporting characters from Maeve the Many Armed already acted as a guide to a rookie Strontium Dog, I decided that the goat faced Irish mutie, Maginty, fitted best with the story (although I didn’t realise that I’d misspelled his surname as ‘McGinty’ until most of the Tales of the Doghouse turned up in a floppy with the Megazine, a long time after I’d submitted the script!).</span> <br />

<b>Above:</b> Rough Sketches for Stell (on the left) and Rab (on the right).<br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Even before I’d
started writing anything down, I realised that the Urb and Stell didn’t
quite work as a double act, so added Rab to the mix. I’d never actually
written a script before, but I do have a background in roleplaying
games so set about writing the script in a similar way to how I’d
approach describing a scene – starting with a detailed description of
where the characters are and what they’re are doing in the scene, then
just describing what they’re are doing in subsequent panels until the
scene changes. Some of the panel descriptions ended up extremely
detailed – the Armoury introduction on page five is particularly
excessive! There were also detailed descriptions of the main characters
added at the end of the script.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Anyhoo,
after a while I finally had a completed script in front of me – a
twenty two page long epic of four characters wandering about a space
station (plus a pub crawl). Rewrites were required. I got rid of a lot
of the nonsense and before long the script was a lean… thirteen pages.
At this point, I realised that strips in Dogbreath are generally about
six pages long, have Johnny Alpha in them somewhere, as well as some
action and adventuring and, probably most important of all, one of those
‘plot’ thingies, so maybe the first thing I submitted ought to be about
six pages long, have Johnny Alpha in it and a plot. This became ‘The
Scowl and the Pussycat’ which I was, frankly, expecting to get rejected
for being ‘too silly’ (it’s in Dogbreath 31, with art by Neil Sims – buy
it today!) I wrote a couple of others (two page scripts seemed like a
good bet – I’ve worked as a magazine editor so I know how annoying a two
page gap can be!) before I came back to look at ‘The First Day’ again.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Apart
from a few changes (Stell was originally noseless, inspired by a
picture of Patricia Morrison from the Sisters of Mercy where she looks
like she hasn’t got a nose, but as Dogbreath already has a noseless
female Strontium Dog in the form of Alec Robertson and Bruce McLaren’s
Laura Gonzalez, she got rewritten as a slightly Goth girl with a
gigantic Gerald Scarfe caricature nose instead), and encouraged by a
couple of scripts getting accepted, I eventually decided to submit the
thirteen page version – although I did submit it along with an email
that was so negative about it that I managed to persuade Bolt 01 to
reject it without reading it. I submitted it again with something
called a more ‘pos-it-ive’ approach.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">First
Submission Attempt
Attached is another script, detailing a group of newly recruited
Strontium Dogs' first day aboard the Doghouse ... it's probably already
been done, though, and I'm afraid it ran away with me a bit so it ended
up thirteen pages long, nothing much happens and just sort of...
stops... instead of ends properly!
Second Submission Attempt
Oh. Errr... Aha! I see what I did there!
(Switches from default 'pessimistic hyper-critical of own work mode' to
'deluxe PR positive spin mode' and tries again...)
Ahem...
'Attached is a detailed narrative that manages to combine a day in the
life of a Strontium Dog timeline with a tour of the unique environment
of the Doghouse through the eyes of three new recruits in the company of
a SPECIAL GUEST STAR!!! At thirteen pages, it's a TRUE EPIC, sure to
shore-up the slush pile against future thrill shortages...' </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Howzat?</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"> </span> </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Bolt
and Richmond appeared to like it, although it was still far too long
and they requested a five to six page version. By deleting Rab’s sexual
magnetism, making cuts to the Registration Office scene, rewriting the
Armoury scene and loosing another bar, I managed to get it down to…
eight pages, and submitted it again (looking at it now, I would probably
get it down to four pages). But I got away with eight pages and it was
accepted.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5"><span class="_5yl5">Strangely,
the first script I’d written was the first to go to an artist – David
Broughton (by coincidence, a scenario called ‘Murder on the Megaways’ in
Signs & Portents Roleplayer 30 – 31 I’d written for the Judge Dredd
Roleplaying Game in 2006 includes a Judge Broughton), although ‘Comic
Rock – Silver Song’ (seventh or eighth submitted, I think) made it into
print in record time and beat it into Zarjaz to became my first
published comic strip. Apart from requesting a few changes (I’d
described Rab as wearing a black suit like the 2Tone Records guy, David
gave him a Rude Boy look instead because he didn’t want everyone wearing
black –this left him looking remarkably similar to a character from
ITV’s Jekyll & Hyde series called the Cutter, which appeared on TV a
few months later), David quickly set about producing the artwork. It
seemed very odd to see page one turn up as a work in progress in a photo
at a convention – despite all the rewrites, I don’t think page one
changed at all from my first draft.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<b>Conclusion. </b><br />
This was a tough story for me to illustrate for many reasons. Matts script challenged me to adapt my art style to portray the humour running throughout the story. At the time I would much rather of been drawing more serious action/dark humour scripts...now I'm happy to draw almost anything. The page layouts and details required in each panel pushed me to come up with solutions (page six was tough) and my copies of SD/Agency files were never far away for reference when penciling the pages.<br />

<b>Introduction:</b> While trading at the Lawgiver 2 convention held in Bristol I was lucky enough to meet 2000AD forum members who told me that they had enjoyed my previous advent comic strips. I decided to draw another 25 page Judge Dredd story. After a week or so I came up with the idea for Bad Crop and began to write the story. As usual I write a page synopsis first. Then begin to flesh out the story. After that I start drawing up the rough page layouts.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The complete story can be downloaded for Free here:<b> <a href="http://www.futurequake.co.uk/imagebucket/Downloads/JD-BadCrop[Final].pdf" target="_blank">Bad Crop PDF.</a></b><br />
Hosted by Future Quake publishers of the 2000AD Fanzines Zarjaz and Dogbreath.<br />

<b>Above:</b> Rough page layouts for pages seven and eight. I was originally going to draw Hell Trekker trucks as the vehicles used by the farmers. I decide instead to use the Landraider 2000 first seen in the original Cursed Earth story. Then I decide to design the Mk 1 Landraider loosely based on the US troop carrier the Stryker. My thinking is that the farmers could only afford to buy seventy year old vehicles.<br />

<b>Conclusions.</b><br />
I had great fun drawing Judge Dredd Bad Crop. The entire project took over 400 hours to complete. Each page taking roughly 16 hours from pencils through to full colours to finish. I work really hard every week in my spare time on my comic art. I practice to produce my best work quickly and with an overall consistency through out the pages.<br />
<br />
If you enjoyed reading Judge Dredd Bad Crop maybe read my self published Shaman Kane Books 1 and 2 which can be brought from Comicsy <a href="http://www.comicsy.co.uk/dbroughton/" target="_blank">here </a>or by contacting me by email dbroughton@hotmail.co.uk<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing you all at the conventions in 2016.<br />

<br />
<b>Introduction:</b><br />
Dave Evans otherwise known as 'Bolt 01' Editor of 2000AD fanzines Zarjaz and Dogbreath sent me a six page Judge Dredd script by independent comic strip writer Mark Howard.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>The Script:</b><br />
As usual I read the script several times before I begin to start working on the rough page layouts. This was a great strip to work on full of interesting characters and situations to illustrate.<br />
The first thing I notice is that four of the pages have a high text box/bubble and panel per page count. Most of the panels also have situations or objects that need to be visible to drive the story on. As Zarjaz is an A5 and not A4 size fanzine I knew that I had to put more time into the rough page layouts to find a way of reducing everthing on the art side of things. However you can only shrink the text so much before it becomes illegible.<br />
<br />
I've worked on Marks scripts before and really love his stories. You can tell that he really puts a lot of time and effort into them and this script is no exception.<br />

<b>Above: </b>A scan of a page (page 2 frames/panel's 3 & 4.) from Marks script. On my third reading of the script I begin to scribble thumbnails on the page (to save time) as I think of angles and character positions that will allow the lettering to be added in the correct sequence. You can see that I have a few goes at it before I get it right with the thumbnail at the bottom of the page.<br />

<b>Above: </b>Rough page layouts for page 2 version 1. Even though there is a lot of content on this page<br />
I decide that I want to make the page layouts as dynamic as possible rather than going for the easy option and just do a six box grid layout with every box the same size. The above version was never going to work as I had attempted to cram panels 2,3 and 4 with all their text bubbles in the centre of the page so that I could have dramatic splash panels for panels 1 and 6.<br />

<b>Above:</b> Rough page layouts for page 2 version 2. My second attempt pretty much nailed it. There is just about room for all the text bubbles and every detail that needs to be in the art also fits. However I'm not happy with the last panel. <u>I get to draw Dredd on his Lawmaster</u> so I want it to look good.<br />

<br />
<b>Conclusion.</b><br />
As I mentioned earlier, I really enjoyed working on this. Mark really challenged me and got about every square millimeter of content he could into each A5 page. If you have not read Judge Dredd 'Yet another rainy day' why not give it a go. Unlike 'Old stoney face' it put a smile on my face.<br />
<br />
<b>Where to buy:</b><br />
Judge Dredd 'Yet another rainy day'' appears in Zarjaz #24 (see the cover pic below)

<br />
<b>Introduction:</b><br />
Dave Evans otherwise known as 'Bolt 01' Editor of 2000AD fanzines Zarjaz and Dogbreath sent me this terrific ten page Johnny Alpha Strontium Dog script written by veteran indie script writer Mark Howard. I had worked on Mark's scripts before and was looking foward to getting my teeth into the artwork. <br />
<a name='more'></a><b>The Script:</b> Script writer Mark Howard gives us an insight into the writing of Death by Dog.<br />
<br />
<i><span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".2z.1:$mid=11440172475468=22ce47da079d14b5077.2:0.0.0.0.0"><span data-reactid=".2z.1:$mid=11440172475468=22ce47da079d14b5077.2:0.0.0.0.0.0">"I've always been interested in the Strontium Dog universe, especially the aspects concerning racism. Of course, the Powers That Be secretly love racism because, while we're all distrusting each other based on essentially insignificant differences, it keeps us too busy to watch what they're up to. "Death by Dog" was a kind of cursory examination of the consequences of that idea. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span class="_5yl5" data-reactid=".2z.1:$mid=11440172475468=22ce47da079d14b5077.2:0.0.0.0.0"><span data-reactid=".2z.1:$mid=11440172475468=22ce47da079d14b5077.2:0.0.0.0.0.0">"The "bad guy" of the story, Vugger Bance, was, in his youth, the worst kind of racist - a mass murderer who saw his actions as justified and even righteous. But what happens when such a racist finally sees the light because a member of his own family turns out to be one of the people he's been conditioned from birth to hate? How would he deal with the guilt?

But he reckons without the sense of honour possessed by Johnny Alpha!

<b>Introduction:</b><br />
First things first. I would like to Apologise for lateness of this report...but better late than never huh? Thanks to Mike Allwood, the Cardiff Independent Comic Expo made a welcome return this year to a<br />
<a name='more'></a> new location in the fabulous city of Cardiff, the Cardiff Masonic Hall. As usual Mike was helped out by a whole host of wonderful people including IZ and
Richard McAuliffe. Thanks to them all for helping to make this event good fun and a great day out. Among the many comic book creators, publishers and traders we were lucky to have a healthy line up of 2000AD Droids. In attendance were Patrick Goddard, Dylan Teague, Rob Williams, Mike Collins and Ben Willsher. I apologise if I have missed anyone out. On the success of this event another Cardiff Independent Comic will be dishing out wonderful comicy goodness to the marvelous people of Wales this December. For more information here is a link to the December CICE. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/669240189844156/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/events/669240189844156/ </a><br />

<b>9.30 AM:</b> I finish setting up my stall so I spend the time chatting until the doors open.<br />
<br />
<b>10.00AM to 4.00AM: </b>With such an early start and a long drive I was really tired and forgot to take as many photos as I had intended to. During the day I had a chat with Alex Mines who is a fellow artist and all round nice bloke. I was also lucky enough to chat to Steve Tanner of Time Bomb comics who publishes some amazing comic books. Check them out here <a href="http://www.timebombcomics.com/" target="_blank">http://www.timebombcomics.com/</a><br />
Then during the rest of the day I met many more people. Here are a few photos of some of them. <br />

Mike Allwood popped by my trading table. I asked him if he would like to choose a sketch. Here is a link the creation of the fullcolour version of the black and white Johnny Alpha sketch he chose above.<a href="http://www.dbroughton.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sun-dog.html" target="_blank"> http://www.dbroughton.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/sun-dog.html</a><br />

<b>Summary:</b><br />
I had a great day, met loads of people and sold a few comics in the process. After the convention I was invited to a local boozer and managed to talk to Patrick Goddard who is an all round nice bloke and Mike collins who was also nice and very knowledgeable. Around 6.30PM we decided to leave for home while the rest partied on into the evening. I had been up for 15 hours and I had a 3 hours drive ahead of me. After dropping my mate off I got home and tucked in to a well deserved pile of nosh washed down with a cup of rosie...<b>luverly! </b> I look forward to coming back to Cardiff next year to mix with the people of CYMRU who made this event so fantastic.<br />
