Mask 5 is out today, by me, @danpgwatters.bsky.social and the other usual suspects. Been looking forward to doing this one since i read the pitch a year ago!
Eternal optimism shown by my dad today, suggesting that for her 13th birthday maybe my daughter might like to come along to a standing engine show he’s taking part in at a bus museum.
Not before time, this week we finally got @pye.bsky.social’s art into proper frames and up on the wall. (The angel is part of one of my book covers that Pye did years ago; the cars are prints my husband bought. They’re all gorgeous.)

Today's morning read is issue 3 of M.A.S.K. by @danpgwatters.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social Pierluigi Casolino & @ruswooton.bsky.social What a fantastic action packed read this was. This book gets better with each issue. 3 issues in & I adore this series.
I’m signing at forbidden planet in brum For this.
The Day of Dredd Arrives on 3rd October 2026! Today we're announcing the creators and locations who'll be taking part in The Day of Dredd, an international celebration of the ultimate lawman of the future, next month! Full Details: https://bit.ly/4gTHRAt
I also would like an answer to this question
What's the best way to read the highlights of the Kirby/Lee Fantastic Four? I don't need a complete set, but I would like something that shows off the storytelling and art (and ideally Galactus). I've been eyeing up the Folio Society edition but at £70 it's pricey for a standard sized book.
MASK #4 from @imagecomics.com / @skybound.bsky.social by @danpgwatters.bsky.social & @marcoferrarink.bsky.social! Scarlett's Marco Ferrari steps in for @pye.bsky.social this month and does a fantastic job with this tale about Trakker's tech falling into the wrong hands. (cont.) #comics #review
"M.A.S.K. #4 ups the stakes while also digging deep into Matt Trakker's state of mind..." @skybound.bsky.social @danpgwatters.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social #comicsky Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:
‘M.A.S.K.’ #4 finally puts the spotlight on Matt Trakker
There's more to Matt Trakker than a big brain and reckless stunts.

#comics MASK Origins #1 Written by @joshuawilliamson.bsky.social & @robertkirkman.bsky.social Art by Andrea Milana & Dan Mora Cover by @pye.bsky.social From @skybound.bsky.social & @imagecomics.com Brilliant!. Essential reading for all #EnergonUniverse fans. Action packed & visually stunning.
Interesting. I mostly DON’T do this… based on some kind of dumb convention or something. The one time I did there just wasn’t a better way…
Writers, you can put pictures in your scripts. All the pictures really, we're working in a visual medium. Everything the artist has to pull reference for is time NOT spent drawing your comic. Apartment layout! Seating chart for a fancy dinner! Weird objects! Rare animal species! You CAN ref it🙏
I’m on the look out for paid comic work, ideally a nice big long project.
Today's morning read is issue 1 of M.A.S.K. by @danpgwatters.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social Pierluigi Casolino & @ruswooton.bsky.social A bit late to the party but I just managed to pick this up and what a cracking read it is. Cannot wait to read issue 2.
Here’s a deal: if you’re an industry pro, and you want to pitch a creator owned project, I’ll letter your pitch free of charge - only proviso is that you hire me on the project if/when it’s picked up by a publisher. #comics #lettering
WHAT JUST HAPPENED IN M.A.S.K. #3 by @danpgwatters.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social ( @skybound.bsky.social @imagecomics.com)?! Find out when @sowizardpodcast.bsky.social breaks it all down on @fanlightzone.bsky.social! #comics #ncbd #energonuniverse
Favourite commission I had drawn for the weekend. Why, it's only Judge Death!
‘M.A.S.K.’ #3 is intense from start to finish @danpgwatters.bsky.social @pye.bsky.social @skybound.bsky.social #comicsky Read @cjwritesstuff.bsky.social's review:

#comics Hidden Springs #3 of 4 Written by @robwilliams71.bsky.social Art by @nilvendrell.bsky.social From @darkhorse.com I. Love. This. Book. It’s so much fun in every aspect. I love the concept, the characters, the art. All of it If it’s not picked up for a tv series or movie I’ll riot.
Super Creepshow #5 brings superheroes to the depths of the horror genre. Read my take! #creepshow #ComicsBeat #HorrorBeat www.comicsbeat.com/horror-beat-...
Horror Beat: SUPER CREEPSHOW #5 shows the dark heart of fandom and heroism
Super Creepshow #5 caps off an incredibly clever take on superheroes and horror. The anthology series would benefit from more themed series.

I’ll be at @tfnationltd.bsky.social tomorrow at the Transformers Battersea stand, signing and sketching etc. Will have some transformers and mask original art for sale too. Not planning on taking many single issues, but if you want anything in particular let me know and I’ll bring it along!
