Hey, @2000ad.bsky.social have the Cadet Dredd collection discounted by a massive 50%!! Why not grab your copy today? It's chock-full of high-octane stories for young and older readers alike, with a fairly hefty contribution by me: shop.2000ad.com/catalogue/XB...

UNBOUND AUTHORS: I’m speaking to a solicitor about our fine mess. If you have ANY correspondence with the company (beyond the “Dear Author” letters we all got) in 2024 about nonpayment or about the company’s financial stability, could I see it? I’m opening my DMs for this (don’t make me regret that)

So glad to see that cursive writing isn't a lost skill after all. #WestAdams

Applications are open for 20 lil' half tables at @leedscc.bsky.social 's 2025 Small Press Day Comics & Art Market on Saturday 19th July! In our usual back room space at Brew Society, Leeds, UK. The deadline to apply by is midnight on the 15th June. Google form, ahoy: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Robert Jenrick spent the day harassing working class people for not paying the £3 train fares. This is the same guy who tried to steal £45 million from the poorest community in London on behalf of a billionaire Tory donor! 🤮🤮

As of today, Elon Musk is thought to be responsible for the death of 300,000 adults and kids due to the illegal closure of USAID (source: www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi...) That's a 103 deaths per hour, each day. And it will get worse. His legacy is one of death, destruction, and failure.

Furiosa. Watercolor, gouache, blood, sweat, tears, oil.

Seriously, one letter like this makes up for a thousand whining manboys who totally missed the point of the superhero comics they read when they were 12 year olds...

PSA: if you have Amazon Prime, this glorious thing is on it. All together now: Gesundheit!

I feel a sudden urge to remind people that "Kill or Be Killed" by @seanphillips.bsky.social and Ed Brubaker is a great book and well worth seeking out.

2000 AD has been running for almost fifty years - what are the current classics running in The Galaxy's Greatest Comic? We've created a guide to some of the best stories currently being published by 2000 AD! 2000ad.com/news/48-year...

Farage: "Lucy Connolly should not be in prison... Understand, there were millions of mothers at that moment in time after Southport feeling exactly the same way. Connolly was imprisoned because she posted: “Set fire to all the fucking hotels full of the bastards… if that makes me racist so be it.”

Here’s your checklist of MPs who think AI is more important than copyright protection and supporting our creative industries. The results of the vote on Lords amendments retaining existing copyright votes.parliament.uk/votes/common...

Do you like Rocket Raccoon? Did you know his Co-Creator, Bill Mantlo, was the victim of a hit-and-run accident in 1992? Bill suffered severe head trauma and has been institutionalized since. Thanks to the @heroinitiative.bsky.social he was not abandoned! Follow and support the Hero initiative!

Using onomatopoeia as the panel itself will always be one of the best things about comic books.

Hey!! Everyone reading this: If you care about Comic Book Creators, especially the aging older ones who've brought you all the great characters and stuff you love, PLEASE follow the @heroinitiative.bsky.social (That they only have 272 followers is shameful! Please help me get that number up!)

From 50 years ago, this Observer magazine cover by Hargrave Hands feels awfully contemporary.

The Ridley Scott/Chris Weston team-up you demanded is heading your way! Look out for Mechanical Cake: the legendary director's first foray into the world of graphic novels. I'll be reunited with my old Filthy pal, @garyerskine.bsky.social Thanks to @deevelliott.bsky.social for bringing me onboard!

The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

Please could you help me to spread the word about my swashbuckling adventure story with a pirate protagonist, sapphic romance, with a dash of werewolves and vampires? My latest novel THE VENGEANCE is available in all formats geni.us/thevengeance Perfect for escaping the horrors of our time.

Then.... now.

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Nick Clegg thinks that an artist who creates a thing has less right to make a living from it than a billionaire who steals it.

URGENT: if anyone has seen or found a huge (A2) sized folder in the parking lot of MCM London, Excel Arena please let me know. We unfortunately left all our A3 prints behind as we were going back home and this is financially devastating. Please also RT so this can reach further.

"One of the single worst examples of journalism I've ever seen in a British newspaper." @mrjamesob.bsky.social can't believe what he's reading.

You’re not crazy. The dissonance is real. Everything is broken, and we’re pretending it isn’t. #Hypernormalization

TWO HOURS LEFT and you’ll get the digital version a few mins after! so, if you’ve ever wanted to make a comic, this book will take you through it…step by step! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat... Please share!

Just talking to my comrades and realise they don't actually have an Eisner ballot, as they're not registered. So, I'm lobbing this in public - anyone in comics (creators, retailers, librarians, educators, editors, whoever) can apply here and vote before June 5th. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Please never be too afraid to tell your friends you love them. Platonic love is too often shunned or declared as weird but it's just as important, if not more, than romantic love. So tell your friends you love them, they might just needed to hear that in a world as cruel and stressful as ours.

Out today in print in the UK, digitally worldwide, @2000ad.bsky.social Prog 2433, featuring my debut on JUDGE DREDD, a little tale called "Family Tradition." Drawn/colored by @fatrobotdraws.bsky.social, lettered by Annie Parkhouse, under a Colin MacNeil Rogue Trooper cover. Enjoy!

RIP George Wendt
