"This is definately going to be one of the strips most talked about - so you owe it to yourself to find out why..." - Bolt-01
"Now this story I really enjoyed" - Richard Fox, Everything comes back to 2000AD
I am very pleased to announce that Zarjaz Issue 12 has been published and is now out to buy
(please head over to the FutureQuake shop to order your copy).
Zarjaz is a 2000AD anthology fanzine, published by FutureQuake Press. Within this wonderful publication you can read a story called Zenith/ Invasion,
written by Chris 'Massacre for Boys' Denton and illustrated by myself.
Zenith/ Invasion is a cross over story of two classic 2000AD stories, Zenith and Invasion (in case you hadn't of guessed) and it
presents a slightly different look at what might of happened in 1999.

2000AD Forum Competition - 'I heart 2000AD'.
This is my submissision to the competition on the 2000AD online forum. The working title is 'I heart 2000AD'. The idea behind this piece is as followed:
"I've been collecting 2000ad for as long as I can remember. Just like you, I enjoy the artwork, the stories, design etc but the one thing I 'heart'
is when I stroll down to my newsagent every Wednesday morning and the shopkeeper passes the latest issue of 2000ad to me over the counter.
I still get the same sense of excitement I had as when I was a kid."
