More podcast goodness covering Shadows of the Stokerverse.
This was recorded just after the Kickstarter, so we thought it would be good to share it again now, just before the book is finally released.
A great interview with artist Clint Langley and Writer Chris McAuley

Anyone in the Birmingham area... We will be exhibiting at the Horror Festival and Convention next weekend with all of our horror titles, including the brand new Peter Hogan's Black Forests anthology.

It's a two day event and looks to be a great fun weekend for every type of horror fan.

Birminghams largest Horror Film Festival, bringing you 2 days of the very best international indie horror films

**** BIG news ****
As you all know Shadows of the Stokerverse was originally 100 pages. However due to the amount of artwork created by Clint Langley for this creator owned book the page count has now risen to a whopping 144 pages.

We are keeping the price the same, giving you incredible value.

Here's a sneak peak at some artwork from the book... A detail from a story called "The Terror Below". All stories written by Chris McAuley

We had a great day with Glenn Fabry in Manchester on Saturday at the double signing event for Peter Hogan's Black Forests and Claudia Christian's Dark Legacies

A huge THANK YOU to all of the fans who braved the weather and the bus strikes to come and see Glenn.
Also a huge thanks to Travelling Man and Golden Orbit for hosting us and to Peter Brewer for making it all happen.

We'd also like to thank Nick Marshall for being the CGC signature witness for both events.

And of course we must all thank Glenn for travelling all the way from down south to meet fans and sign their books.

It was a real pleasure to see all of those old 2000ad comics featuring Slaine and we saw lots of Vengeance of Bane copies all day. 🙂
Here's to the next signing with Glenn, Peter and Mark at Gosh London.

20/09/2025

The next signing for Peter Hogan's Black Forests will be Gosh London next month.

Hopefully see you there along with Peter Hogan, Mark Stafford and Glenn Fabry

We are so looking forward to welcoming the legendary Glenn Fabry to Manchester next weekend.

Other than Peter Hogan's Black Forests #1, what comics by Glenn would you like to get signed?

I'm very happy to say we will have a very limited number of these Predator, Aliens & Dredd crossover sketch cover books on offer to get signed for just £10 each.

What will you be bringing along?

Official Statement from Shane Chebsey, Editor in Chief of Scratch Comics Publications:

Scratch Comics will no longer be co publishing Jimmy Broxton's Fully Loaded as from issue #3.

Jimmy has decided that the title will now be published and marketed solely as a Verity Comics title.

If readers or retailers have any questions about future issues please direct them to Verity Comics going forward.

We would like to wish Jimmy Broxton all the best with whatever he decides to do with the title and we encourage all those of you who have gotten on board with the book via Scratch to continue supporting it via Verity.

It's a truly wonderful comic that we have been very proud to work on as co publishers and it was by far our best selling title despite the Diamond US bankruptcy.

A comic this great deserves your continued support.

05/09/2025

Just a reminder that we have a sale on the website at the moment, with comics from as little as £1.00

Yes! £1.00

05/09/2025

We have been contacted by Diamond UK to confirm that Jimmy Broxton's Fully Loaded issue #2 is slated for US distribution by Diamond US into US stores next week.

The issue has sold out here in the UK so it's been frustrating that the Diamond US bankruptcy issues have stalled it's release in the US as we know there are hundreds of US readers eagerly awaiting the arrival of issue #2.

Hopefully your wait will soon be over.
Make sure you check in with your local comic store next week to get your copy as the issue will be extremely rare, being only available in comic shops.
