Steam over Ether is here!

This weekend is the splendid Steampunk Online Festival, Steampunk Over Ether which is guaranteed to bring you some fun, surprises and entertainments across the ether far and wide!

Accent UK comics have already been involved in the festival's run-up with our wee interview alongside, Time Bomb comics friend and frontman, Steve Tanner - available to catch up here!

There are lots of more treats, demonstrations and musical performances to enjoy, so please check out the event's schedule and tune in when you can or catch up afterwards.

I should also mention, that on a personal note, I'm particularly excited for the festival's world premiere of an innovative 'comic-play-animation' of my steampunk story, 'Heart's Desire', dramatised by the characters themselves aka Count Rostov and Lady M!

I'll post a link to the comic video when available but please check out Steam over Ether's weekend schedule and Steampaper's own page to discover some splendid new diversions!

Comic Chats & Hats!

Well that was fun, big thanks to SteamPaper's presenter Keith for herding us all t'other night in a nice Comics  Double Feature Team-Up Crossover chat with Dave and I representing Accent UK and Time Bomb's founder & scribe, Steve Tanner.

It was really good to see each other and chew the fat on our respective comic creating approaches and forthcoming projects. Keith ably guided us through the 'techy set-up' bits and it seemed to be well received with several live comments and questions.

Thanks to all who viewed or commented and don't worry if you missed it, it's available on demand direct from Keith's SteamPaper facebook page here and scroll around for several other entertaining interviews and news on the forthcoming SteamPunk over Ether event appearing in this brave new virtual world on 25th & 26th April! 

New Interview with Gary Crutchley!

Time has flown here at Accent UK Towers with much happenning these last few weeks so I'll try catching up starting with this recent and well deserved spotlight interview with WesterNoir's artist and co-writer, Gary Crutchley!

Once again its the hard working 'G-Man' of Comics Anonymous who does the honours and its revealing, touching on Gary's artistic process and new projects - read it in the link here!

Accent UK are Comic Heroes!

 

Ha! Ha! we'd almost forgotten about this but the latest Comic Heroes magazine is sure to be a best seller as it features a wee spotlight on Accent UK and interview with Dave West!

It's a lovely two page spread conducted by Miles Hamer who contacted Dave after recently reading his Whatever Happened to The Invisible Man? title. I assisted a wee bit and supplied the images and am delighted that it's come out so well - and amazed that I found a decent photo of Dave to use!

The same issue also features long time peer - and recent Copenhagen Comics companion, John Anderson of Soaring Penguin Press and my newly made chum from Stoke, Marc Jackson, who I understand regularly supplies a strip for the mag.

All in all its a good read and, as they say, available from all good newsagents - but grab it quick, that pic of Dave ensures it won't stay on the shelves for long!  

MCM London Indie Comics Interview

Aha stumbled on a wee interview that Dave and I gave at the vibrant MCM Comic-Con in London a few weeks back, worth a wee read on The Daily News Service website

Would you buy an indie comic from these fine chaps?

Thanks to Pat Lunn for the time and questions and his friend (sorry didn't catch the name!) for the recording and photos much appreciated. It seems the chaps did a few related interviews while at the show, under their British Comics Industry Spotlight banner, so follow the links for interesting reads from a variety of comics folks.
