CURRENT PROJECTS

Copyright and TM 2017 Lucasfilm Ltd. All rights reserved.

It's nearly June 2017 and I've just finished a batch of projects for Black Library, Realm of the Damned, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and a couple more I can't yet talk about.

Otherwise, the Force is strong with this month as my four-part comic adaptation of Jason Fry's excellent YA novel Weapon of a Jedi continues in Germany's Star Wars magazine published by Panini. I faithfully adapted Jason's terrific book along with artist Ruairi Colman and ace colorist Chris O'Halloran. Here's hoping an English translation/collection isn't far behind.

Anderson: The Deep End, the U.S.-format one-shot collecting my first two movie-verse Judge Anderson stories, is out now with a London signing to follow.

In the meantime, my contributor copies of the Judge Dredd anthology, The Cape & Cowl Crimes, were a pleasant surprise. This book features two of my Dredd tales, including the Free Comic Book Day strip I worked on last year with Eric Powell of The Goon fame.

​Just received another annoyingly secretive project to tide me over while I'm working on the next round of pitches.

​Onward!

JUDGE DREDD: THE CAPE & COWL CRIMES

Cover art by Alan Davis

There are plenty of law-breaking freaks in Mega-City One, but among the worst are those who attempt to enforce their own brand of justice while wearing brightly-coloured spandex!

This superhero-themed trade collection features two of my Judge Dredd stories: The Mask of Anarchy (with art by Ben Willsher, colours by Chris Blythe and letters by Annie Parkhouse) in which Dredd is assigned to protect controversial comic book artist Kurt Vymarr from a masked revolutionary; and Uncivil Partnership (with art by Eric Powell and letters by Sam Gretton) in which Dredd finds himself caught between two embittered factions of superhero fans.

Judge Dredd: The Cape & Cowl Crimes is available from Amazon UK, Amazon US and the Rebellion webstore [LINK TO COME].

JUDGE ANDERSON: YEAR ONE

Cover art by Garry Brown

Cassandra Anderson will one day become Psi-Division’s most famous Judge. But for now it’s 2100, and this young Judge is fresh out of the Academy. It’s time to put her training - and her judgement - to the test.

Tackling a love-obsessed telepathic killer at a Valentine’s Day parade, plunging into the depths of madness in a psychiatric prison, and probing the boundaries of reality itself as she traces the roots of a psychic virus, Cass will be forged in the fires of Justice and emerge a legend.

This paperback collects all three of my Judge Anderson novellas - Heartbreaker, The Abyss and A Dream of the Nevertime, as well as a bonus short story Too Much Information and an introduction detailing my approach to Anderson herself.
