For over 25 years we’ve been creating comic strips, and for the past decade we’ve been putting them online for anyone to view or download under Creative Commons licenses. We’d like to do more of this – as well as re-license some of our older strips – so we’ve launched a Patreon page to earn a little money on the side to help us dedicate more time to working on comics. The details are described a bit more in this video:
We really hope you’ll choose to become a patron. Even 1$ a month will help to ensure that we keep creating our cartoons and making our older strips even more “free” than they already are. Plus you’ll get to learn all about the secret Easter eggs we hide in every Greys strip! If you’re interested in supporting us, or just learning a little more, please visit our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/peppertop
The first edition of Linux Voice magazine — which includes our Elvie comic strip — is now available in shops round the UK, with other countries following shortly. From their website…
To get a copy in the UK, go to WHSmith (high street stores), Sainsbury’s, Morrisons or McColl’s/Martin’s. We’ve also posted issues to newsagents in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Spain and Sweden.
We’ve just received our new comic book, ‘Monsters, Inked Collected Classics Vol 1’ from the printers. It will be available to buy as part of Free Comic Book Day in Aylesbury (Bucks, England) on Saturday 4th May from Dead Universe Comics. We’ll also be on hand to sign copies of the book, answer questions, and generally help to promote comics and sequential art. Hope to see some of you there 😀
We’re delighted to announce a lttle project that we’ve been working on for some time now: Monsters, Inked is going back into print, courtesy of Dead Universe Publishing.
‘Monsters, Inked Collected Classics Volume 1’, to give the title its full name, is a collection of our first 38 MI comic strips, including all the ones that were originally published in The Bucks Herald newspaper. In addition there are loads of snippets of associated trivia, and some behind the scenes insights too, all packaged into a lovely, colourful 28 page comic book.
It will take a few days to get the book printed, but there should be copies available in time for Free Comic Book Day (May 4th), when various Dead Universe writers and artists will be on hand to chat and sign their wares in Aylesbury’s Friars Square Shopping Centre.
Huge thanks especially to Lorraine at Bluepepper Designs who has done a lovely job of typesetting the book.
