Wow, fully funded overnight! Huge thanks to all our backers, you've been amazing! 30 more days to go! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
Watched all three Enola Holmes films, aimed at YA audiences. Quite enjoyed them, although the third one was missing London, and it showed. I liked the anti-Brit Empire tone. Not too polemic, and overdue.
Sha 2: Soul Wound launches 25th July! We've got a very limited quantity of Early Bird Big Collectors for those who missed the Vol 1 deluxe edition. The first 100 backers get a free signed A4 art print. Follow us and find out as soon as we go live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...

This is very exciting!
Jason Buck Storyteller@jasonstoryteller.bsky.social · 9mo ago'Don’t Miss Sláine: The Horned God by Jason Buck – on Tour in 2026!'. A retelling of ancient Celtic myths. Blog post from @2000ad.bsky.social here: 2000ad.com/news/dont-mi... #StorytellingForGrownUps #storyteller #storytelling #comics
Colouring art designed with heavy blacks for BW publication is always a tightrope walk. But these tests and covers for Defoe that I did proved I might be able to pull it off. Story by @patmillswriter.bsky.social for @2000ad.bsky.social #horror #steampunk #zombies
Rough diamond cops and agents are always popular. There was the Sweeney, Gene Hunt and now Jackson Lamb. So I got writer George McDonald - who has expert knowledge - to come up with a genuinely different cop for Hellbreaker: Asquith.
I made the entrance to Hell the Orwell Bridge in Ipswich. Firstly, because I know it well, but also because George Orwell named after himself the river Orwell. The Hell world the protagonists enter is even more nightmarish than his 1984. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
One reader asked me about Hellbreaker’s name: Anton De La Rue. It means ‘from the street’. E.g. A working class hero. I wanted a hero who had the style and costume of the Raffles archetype, but wasn’t a ‘gentleman’, most of whom I detest. Follow our KS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
think all we creators on 2000AD have been inspired by music to feature it in our stories. It’s why I had Comic Rock in Nemesis The Warlock, to focus on musical sources, without paying a fortune for them. Thus, in Third World War, I used the lyrics from the Dead Kennedy’s 1/3
There are the classic monsters: Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies. So I’m thrilled for a new breed of monster to join them: Infernals, injected with fire in their blood in Hellbreaker. Check out our KS and follow us so you don't miss our launch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
A big appeal to me of Ian art is his incredibly handsome hero which is essential to the story. Glenn Fabry is the only artist I can think of who could portray anyone so impossibly good looking. There’s a unique chemistry between Hellbreaker and his female cop pursuer that I find very compelling 1/2
Hellbreaker looks at different versions of Hell and why many people still believe in punishment in the afterlife. Christianity seems to have been responsible for the idea of Eternal Damnation, as a form of control. Great fun exploring it all! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
Hellbreaker is coming to Kickstarter in early Nov! Follow us now so you get notified when we launch - Ian Ashcroft has a limited number of original art sketches available! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
Ian Ashcroft and I just pre-launched our KS campaign! Hellbreaker: Fire in the Blood. Hell is real – and it's a supermax prison. But the Infernals have escaped, and their leader is on a mission of vengeance on Earth. Follow us so you don't miss our launch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pat...
