Thank you both SO much for that amazi...Bloody Hell! Thank you both SO much for that amazing art of the good sergeant! It's incredibly humbling to have created a character who inspires such talented creators, especially a secondary character!<br />So thank you again!<br /><br />As for the question of the comics origins, I can tell you right here!<br /><br />Back in 2008, I got friendly with one of the directors at Men At Play (I'd seen a video where the cameraman was wearing a HOT watch and I emailed them to find out what it was. Turned out it was the director himself).<br />It turned he was also a big comic fan, and he'd been wanting to do a Men At Play comic strip or graphic novel, but had no deas beyond that. He asked me to come up with something that would fit the brand and as I'd already been thinking about a hero who was kind if a cross between Green Hornet and Batman, I pitched it and he loved him.<br />He commissioned me to do some pages for their subscription based forums, but as I was doing the third page, there was a bit of a shake up of the company or the forums, and the project was dropped.<br /><br />That actually worked completely in my favour though, as I retained full rights to it, and I immediately started work on a proper first issuewoth no publisher attached.<br /><br />Those first 11 pages then sat unfinished for years as my career really took off and I just coukdn't get to them. Then, last year, I made the decision to come all the way from England to Bent-Con, and I just knew I had to have the book for that show.<br /><br />And don't worry; Issue 2 won't take anywhere near as long!<br /><br />Thank you so, SO much for the amazing review. I'm honoured and humbled that the book means so much to you!<br /><br />Jake xxx<br />Jacob Motthttp://www.bigwatchboiz.comnoreply@blogger.com
