New Website!

We have a NEW WEBSITE over at ogcomics.com


As it's been a while since we produced any comics the old site had lost its relevance somewhat. I thought it would be appropriate to simplify the content and put up some new things that were never published in print.


Chief amongst the previously unseen content is the fully coloured version of our prequel issue #0. This was originally the very first thing we did way back in 2009 and was published in collection of comics made by the Paper Jam Comics Collective called Robots... And That. In recent months I have coloured it in and tidied up some of the worst excesses of my earlier style (so shoot me, retcon police!) which I think gives it the punch it perhaps lacked. I have always enjoyed this concise little intro to the backstory and characters so it feels good to have it looking fresh.


We will hopefully be considering coming back to our twisted little story in the near future but we have no concrete plans down as yet. To this end the site will sort of serve as a legacy compilation until we have new material for a proper relaunch of both Trenchfoot and O.G. Comics.


I will be updating the galleries more regularly now as well as it's so easy on the new platform so anything new can sear your eyeballs with enhanced urgency.


As always your humble scribbler,

The Darkness of Calamari George

The wonderful HATCH had an exhibition in his house as part of the E17 Art Trail (you can see the artists involved here: http://cargocollective.com/showsomething). I put in this picture of embattled, former ice-cream salesman, Calamari George.

Alien-Hunting Transvestite Comic Approaching

Welcome, oh ye snivelling wretches, to an O.G. blog post - so capricious and timid in its rarity, that it is frightened by your enquiring eyes, and scuttling around trying to avoid being seen. Know this, however: we once again stand quivering in your gaze with a spot of news.

Way back in November we were in attendance at the Comica Comiket festival. There we chatted with many of the good comic folk of London about Trenchfoot and other O.G. things, and also relaunched the sterling, developing series, Unpaid Intern by the n-n-notorious Michael O'Keefe. His second issue is magnificent; another welcome dose of deadpan absurdity with the usual comics, stories and poems. For more from Mr. O'Keefe check out his blog: http://tizersoze.tumblr.com/ We have no current plans for conventions but we hope to change that soon and will be announcing our event plans shortly.

Following our relaunch we have been hard at work on our latest title. John Voight: Agent of F.L.A.N.G.E is coming along nicely and the artwork by Sam Willoughby is his finest contribution yet to our sordid stories. I hesitate to give a release date for this two-part mini-series as we routinely break all of our promises on such matters. As soon as we have something more solid to go on, though, we will of course be shouting from the digital rooftops.

The next project on the horizon will be the long-awaited Trenchfoot #5. When this, the penultimate episode of the first Trenchfoot arc, gets underway, we resolve to be more transparent with the creative process. If you have any burning desire to see how we make these damned, dirty comics then stay tuned for more updates.

Over and out, Trenchlings.

Gav and Regan
