I'm 5 years old and I'm sitting on the coach on the way to Blackpool with my aunties Bingo Club. (If you grew up in England you know the kind of outings they were. There would be a crate of Black and Tan on the coach for the adults- Vimto for the kiddies - a sing-a-long would start off at some point and you can probably still remember those prickly, orange seats that dug into your face if you tried to sleep). The kids are each given 50p to spend ("Don't spend it all at once!"). We stop at a service station halfway ...and there it is in the newsagents. Thus ensues the purchase of my very first, original, American comic. Mind blown. I'd seen Batman on TV .... but it was NOTHING like this. He's dying on the cover for heaven's sake! Holy poisoned lipstick, Batman!<br />

The story telling in this comic is impeccable. A real master class and it still looks good to this day. Yes - I've still got it. Three times now, in fact. The desecrated original, a copy I bought a few years back and now digitally. They all compare favourably with each other but it's the physical copy that still shines. Probably down to that slight vinegary scent that exudes from the pages - perhaps down to those absolutely fascinating and hypnotic advertisements sprinkled throughout the issue ; Hostess Cup Cakes, Big Jim's P.A.C.K., Treasury Editions,those DC action figures and, of course, that Evel Knievel ad on the back page. All incredibly exotic and unreachable to me as a young lad from Wolverhampton.<br />

I can not over-estimate how much this comic influenced my life (to the point that my first character I've co-created for DC is called "The Kiss of Death")! I don't think I realised at that point that I would be able to pursue it as a career (that would come the following year) but it certainly solidified the direction of my interests<br />
<br />
- and just seeing that cover STILL gives me butterflies in the stomach!<br />

That strip was Billy The Cat.<br />
<br />
Rather unusual for a cartoon heavy comic you may think but there's something of a tradition in the British humour titles that there's always a space for something slightly more serious. Having already been weaned on The Titans comic I think my fate was sealed at an early age - and Billy The Cat spoke to me with it's real world setting, stylized crosshatching and adventure lead stories.<br />
<br />
Lovely stuff.<br />

A perennial favourite Christmas gift from any Aunty was the Beano and/or Dandy Annuals but the real juice was the fix from the comics in your local newsagent every week. For my sensibilities The Beano characters seemed to have more of a "bite" to them than those appearing in The Dandy - and Dennis The Menace was a favourite. So much so that I was in the Dennis The Menace Fan Club (DING DONG) and wore my badges with undisguised pride.<br />

Comics have shaped my life. Guided me in ways unfathomably and not strictly confined to my career choice. But which are the ones that made the biggest impact throughout my early life?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's a LOT of them to think about and I'm sure I'll miss some of them out but I've put together a pretty comprehensive, almost chronological list that covers 50 of them leading up to my first year at art college.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is THE TITANS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This was a series of landscape format black and white reprints of Marvel comics (each page comprising of 2 U.S.format pages) with an original piece of artwork for the centrespread. Brilliant, mind blowing stuff for a 4 year old to glance through and absorb all those dense plotlines and ponderous dialogues. Food for a growing brain and lifelong obsession.</div>

Released at the London Super Comic Con this coming weekend ( March 13-15 2015) is a graphic novel collection of Amongst The Stars :<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aliens have nightmares too. Us!</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Amongst the Stars tells the story of an alien race reaching out to planet Earth, but only with its collective mind. But for the aliens, too late, mentally it proves a crippling experience, where Earth drags them down to a level they don’t want to go and cannot escape from. They are trapped in something akin to a horror movie. </span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Everyone on Earth remains blissfully unaware of this alien intervention, or do they? Can we somehow help save them? It's in the back of our minds.</span></strong></div>

For this new collection I penned an introductory prologue :<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">I illustrated Amongst
The Stars during the beginnings of my career so I beg your indulgence in
excusing any compositional inconsistencies contained within but I assure you
that you won’t have to do similar with Jim Alexander’s writing though.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His scripted science fiction adventure was
simply phenomenal from the very first moment I came across it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">There are numerous
facets about Amongst The Stars that intrigued me – not least of which was the
literally universal scope of the fanciful ideas and perfectly constructed execution.
The obvious thought process that had gone into creating such concepts and
characters made me look at Jim’s writing in a wholly new light and I had
already greatly admired his writing throughout his thought provoking run on
Calhab Justice…but this was simply an awe-inspiring and accomplished
achievement.<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="color: #0c343d;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Amongst The Stars
remains a project that I’m still incredibly proud of and I maintain that it can
continue to enkindle admiration and spark fascination to this day…and will endure
perpetually.</span></span></b></div>

That of Butchmas. Every day of December until Christmas it was determined (by himself, I believe) that Butch Guice would buy a present for himself.<br />

Everyone should have a Butchmas.....but until that time here are some Butch pages from my own collection...<br />

They're a chance to, at times, tackle characters I don't usually receive the opportunity to play with and the results are almost always very rewarding. All of them are a breath of fresh air....and I always jump with excitement when someone commissions a 2000ad character. I've been waiting a loooong time to receive a Johnny Alpha Strontium Dog commission!<br />
<br />
This one's actually based on a cover design I produced for House of M:Avengers #3 ( that particular one featuring the Punisher) as it was a particular favourite of the commissionee...<br />
