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.

A Wolf at the Door

And so, with great pomp and fanfare we released the new issue: Trenchfoot #4; A Wolf at the Door last week in Travelling Man, Newcastle.
 Many hearty thanks to Shaun Amin, our new artist, for his superb work on the back up mini-story 'Friends Like These'. I think you'll agree that it raises the general standard of things.

Next from our festering maw comes John Voight: Agent of F.L.A.N.G.E. This harrowing tale of (you guessed it) revenge, has been expertly drawn by Sam Willoughby. The drawing is done, I've seen it, it's amazing, I just need to get the lettering etc. done and we're good to go so hopefully not too long 'til that.

An exciting event is lined up for us this month, we are showing at the Comica Comiket festival on 21st April at the Bishopsgate Institution near Liverpool St. station in the big smoke. Come down if you're in the city for it is FREE and there will doubtless be many fine small-press comics to be obtained or merely perused. Also in attendance will be a friend of mine from work: the wonderfully talented Mireille Fauchon (http://www.mireillefauchon.com/) and that should really be reason enough to drag y'selves down so we hope to see y'all there.

We sincerely hope you are enjoying the new issue, Trenchfoot fans, to express this or alternatively to shower us with abuse please direct communications to trenchfootcomic@gmail.com.
