ONE MORE DAY TO GO PEOPLE!

Fresh vinyl will be ripe for you as of tomorrow.

In the mean time, here’s the last of our runners up in the fabulous comic competition.

Watch out for more black and white / colour switching, fantasy themes and amazing detail. From Harvey James: “Nikki’s drawings are always rad, and this is no exception. I like the lion girl’s tail in the third panel! Although, I have to deduct points since this is basically the plot to the movie Grease”

Greetings comic fans once more! I know you’re slowly getting the message, but this whole lovely comic competition is to celebrate “At Least We Can Dance” coming out on vinyl, this Monday, in fact you can already get it in some shops…

Day 4 sees a lovely mix of black and white with colour panels, great story and even a bit of magical violence thrown in for good measure. In the words of judge Harvey James, “This one is crazy well-drawn!”, nuff said really.

Day 2 of our competition to celebrate the vinyl release of “At Least We Can Dance” (featuring remixes from Nu:Tone and Roska, out Feb 8th!)

This entry gets the prize for sheer effort, as it’s 9 full pages long! It is also a truly beautiful and funny piece of work.

Comment from judge Harvey James:

“I’m a big fan of the colouring, loose line work and bold layouts of this one, as well as the realisation of the environment they inhabit. Also, I like that you can pretty much always see the one girl’s pants.”
