Artful Salamander
WHAT'S AN ARTFUL SALAMANDER? Artful Salamander is the name of the company who published the two issue Octobriana: Filling In The Blanks mini-series and produced the eight-page 'I Fell In Love With A Russian Devil-Woman' strip for Head Press' Romantic Tails 1. Due to the slightly precarious nature of the comics industry at the moment, Artful Salamander is currently taking a self-publishing breather, although it has since contributed to Alchemy Texts Armageddon Patrol 1. The next Artful Salamander project is the tentatively-titled Octobriana: Underground Tales graphic novel. This book will collect the Filling In The Blanks mini-series in a 'remastered' format (select sequences redrawn, digital sound, etc), as well the inclusion of new material. Octobriana: Underground Tales will be released to coincide with the COMICS 99 event in Bristol on 2-4 April 1999.
