Deliverance!

Hello!

Regan here...I just finally got off my arse and learned how to blog, so as to give Gav a break.

 Well then, what have we for you? Some announcements? Yes.

O.G. Comics will be at this year's Thought Bubble Comic Convention on the 19th and 20th of November in Leeds. Obviously, there will be many great comic luminaries in attendance, and we will no doubt appear as the grubby, unwashed underdogs that we are, but we thrive best when placed in the harmful path of adversity.

 Lots more on Thought Bubble nearer the time, obviously.

Other news? More new titles, obviously:

The Trenchfoot Annual is being slapped into shape as we speak (you can see an amazing panel of Joe Pochiol's art on "The Coming of Aardak" below) and will be available in August. Not sure of the exact page count yet, but it's likely to be 48+, so you get a lot of bang for your buck (and a lot of buck for your bang...what does that even mean?)

BUT...we are not ones to sit on our hands, and even as we speak there are yet another two titles in production:

Trenchfoot: The Biscuit Maker

A direct prequel to the 1st issue of Trenchfoot which focuses on serial homophobe/racist/murderer Kevin McCarthy and the worst day of his life - the day a Polish Gypsy turned him into a Gingerbread Man. A very, very talented new artist is pencilling this one and it promises to be a lot of fun. More as and when...
John Voight: Agent Of F.L.A.N.G.E #1 (of 2)

That's John with an "H", not the famous star of Midnight Cowboy (and biter of Michael Richards' arm). Won't say too much about this one as of yet, simply that it is a direct tie-in to the Trenchfoot universe at large and is all about the fall, rise and further fall of a simple man from the South with a penchant for cross dressing and  a thirst for revenge against the aliens who raped his wife.

So, yes, that is all for now, but I'm sure new and deflated ideas shall come on waves and wings of masturbating angels before the month is done.
Goodnight

Regan

A little more from Down to the Well

The pages are very nearly complete on this Trenchfoot back story. Apologies for the terrible picture quality, just thought I'd do a super quick update. Hope you like...

New developments!

Hello dear readers,

A few updates for y'all on what we've been up to the last few weeks:

Most importantly we are still on track to get the monstrous Giant-Sized Trenchfoot #1 out on time for you at the end of July. Still some inking to do on component story, Down to the Well, and we still need Joe Pochciol's The Coming of Aardak but we have extraordinary faith.

Secondly we are in the process of accumulating new artists. We are in talks with a new, very talented comic craftsman to produce another tie-in one-shot for our ever expanding roster of titles. More information on this soon when we have everything signed and sealed.

We hope you will be pleased to hear that the celebrated Daren Cosgrove, with his now formidable momentum, returns from The Blood and the annual with aplomb. We have a new two part story for him which again we will announce officially when we have all the pieces in place - it's really good we promise. Absurd of course, but in the unique manner of the esteemed Mr. Regan, delivers genuine pathos to a darkly bizarre story and characters.

Lastly, and by no means leastly, this very url (www.ogcomics.com) will soon play host to a PROPER WEBSITE (oh yes, you heard correctly...)! My friend and flat-mate, Charlotte, is making us a proper slick, badass website with her mint computer skills. We can't wait. We hope you can't wait either. We will be continuing this blog with a link from it when it's done and it will also act as a comprehensive resource/discussion forum/link machine/gallery for all your O.G. needs. So. Excited.

As always, any questions, submissions, letters or just chatting should be directed to trenchfootcomic@gmail.com, and we will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,

Gavin

P.S. Here's another sneaky preview from Daren Cosgrove's, Love is a Losing Game.
