The Samurai returns/Perth/Preston

Some publishing news (well it’s news to me), and details of appearances in July in Perth and Preston to follow.

It’s a new day and a new anthology to bother you with. Bomb Scares#1, published by Time Bomb Comics, has been out for a wee while now (but it’s the first I’ve heard about it, so here we are). It features The Samurai by yours truly and indie powerhouse Luke Cooper. The eagle-eyed among you might recognise the strip was originally published by Planet Jimbot in a comic book of the same name, but that’s been out of print for a wee while now, so it’s nice to see The Samurai back doing what Samurais do best. Some blurb to follow:

Returning from war, his village wiped out, the Samurai must seek revenge against rancorous marauders and monsters yet unknown, in this award-winning writer’s epic tale!
