Never Mind The Comics

Currently in my head:

Holed Up!

A family sitcom set among American separatists, hiding out in the mountains with big guns and emergency bunkers. Something for every political allegiance.

Current status: A comic strip, soon to debut on www.twistandshoutcomics.com when I get it redrawn and scanned in. Could make a good comic book or radio short series.

The Piper

Fifty years ago, a deal was made. The real rulers of the world decided that nuclear war could not, should not ever take place. They made a deal with.. with something. And so they were able to stock up nuclear weapons like boys with toys save in the knowledge that the world would be safe. But they didn't pay.

Thirty years ago, something bagan to play a tune on their pipe. And society cracked. Sexuality and independence blossomed. Slowly the world changed, walls fell as well as people. And all the children went away.

Today, in Oxford, four youngsters plan their imminent future, university, the army, going away. And a drunk man with a pipe is following them. Watch lives break, families fracture and seams exposed. The Pied Piper Of Hamlin's revenge for yet another broken deal.

Current status: A thought and a plot breakdown. Would make a great four parter from Vertigo, Image or Wildstorm. Axel? Stuart? Shelly? Karen?

Political Creatures

A look back at the last ten years of British politics if, at one point, fairies had escaped from their world and taken over the leading opposition party, transforming it into a party obsessed with image over substance, glamour and power for power's sake. Satirical, funny and deeply allegorical.

Current status: The first 10,000 words of a novel. Would make a great novel. Any literary agenst or publishers out there like to hear more?

Cogs In The Machine

Go see it. A little more complete. One aborted issue written and drawn.
