Glee Van Cleef...

 
For fans of stone-cold gunslingers and haters of exuberant teen show choirs alike... With art by the rootin' tootin' shootin' Dave Alexander!

Forever Foes!

Everyone seems to be getting in on the children's book market these days... Madonna, Katie Price, Idi Amin and many more. And just as they stretched their respective talents beyond pop music, brutal repression and having big tits, I have done the same and launched my own line of children's novels!

Proudly brought to you by Harry Potter publishers Bloomsbury, FOREVER FOES! is available in all good bookshops including Waterstone's as seen below. FOREVER FOES! follows the adventures of a series of different villainous adventurers "...as they run the gamut of negative human experience, smashing and fucking everything in their path!". Wowee!

A close up of those covers so your six to twelve-year old knows what to look for on Amazon, with each character brought to life by a different talented artist from the Scottish comics underground.
 Volume I: Fear, Emptiness, Despair.
 Volume II: To Philosophise With A Hammer
Volume III: Bastards of Ragnarok

Available now in national bookstores!:



A good look at the blurb, to reel in those enthusiatic young minds:

And here are the central characters, soon to be appearing on lunchboxes, stationery and backpacks and that kind of stuff:
Lust Ghost - by Spanky
Spewnicorn - by Robert Thomson
 Gaseous Bastard - by Rob Miller
Meat Nun - by Paul McCann
Plague Chef - by James Corcoran
The Wicker Gran - by Alex Ronald
 
Prison Troll - by Curt Sibling
 
 Gory Tory - by Dave Alexander
Space Racist - by Iain Laurie
Thanks to each of these very skilled gentlemen for lending their talents and tolerating the excruciating Bloomsbury editorial process.


BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

In keeping with the fine tradition of cynical cash-ins and exhaustive merchandising, there's also the FOREVER FOES collectable card game FOE TRUMPS! Simply click to embiggen, print, snip, glue then destroy your opponents without mercy! Check out these cool kids engaged in a deadly match.

 Jim "Destroyer" Devlin is furious as Manglin' Paul McCann smites him with a killer play!
Expand your game - more Foe Trumps to follow! Gotta Catch 'Em All!

 
Gee willikers, sir! My favourite Foe has gotta be...

Haunted Bowels!

Prepare to be haunted....!

I'm very pleased to say that after some years now of producing comics, I've finally printed my first collected volume - Haunted Bowels: Craig Collins Collected Comics Volume 1.
 Cover art by Iain Laurie
A collection of small press comedy comics - gruesome gags and oddball humour, surreal comedy and morbid light entertainment. Omniscient beings, strange cowboys, troubled poets and unruly spectres and much more await within...!

28 A5 black and white pages with colour cover. Some adult humour. Chocked to the gills with comics and featuring art by:

Dave Alexander, James Corcoran, Iain Laurie, Paul McCann, Rob Miller, Nulsh, Curt Sibling, Robert Thomson and Jacek Zabawa.

And you can buy it here in my Big Cartel for a mere £3 plus postage.

Needless to say it's been a huge pleasure collaborating with these exceptionally talented gentlemen, without whom I wouldn't have made any comics at all. Thanks guys, my hat's off to you! Thanks also to Stuart Gould of UK Comics, printer extraordinaire and all-round good guy.

Robot Sex, Human Error

It's been far to high-brow and worthy around here lately. Bring on the sweating middle-aged perverts! Click to embiggen.
That doubles up nicely as a reasonably apt description of Dave Alexander who worked his artistic magic on this one, which libidinously lumbered into Wasted #8.

Wasted #8 is Upon Us!

Issue #8 of Wasted is out now from Alan Grant's Bad Press Ltd. Available in comic shops, newsagents and  heather funeral pyres all over the UK and online here!

You'll find all manner  therein, including some by written by me: Robor Sex, Human Error with art by Dave Alexander and more Zinder Surprise had with Paul McCann!


In fact, with this being the final print issue of Wasted before it moves to online only, it seemed an appropriate time to irrevocably conclude and gloriously retire the Zinder Surprise strips, which go out with an enormous bang!

It also seems an appropriate time to salute the Wasted crew. The costs and efforts involved in keeping Wasted going and considerable indeed, and the heroic efforts of the likes of Jamie Grant and Rob Miller have kept it moving ahead in challenging times. Kudos to you, gents.

I'm pretty proud of my contributions to Wasted. I've had strips in every issue and have somehow managed to exist in the nebulous space of writing oddball humour strips that aren't strung out on drugs but sit alongside other contributions fairly comfortably, and it's been an honour to see a mag on the hallowed comic shelves of Forbidden Planet or wherever else that has some of my work in it. I

It's also through Wasted and the Hope Street Sky Dungeon that I've met many of the artists and collaborators I do a lot of comics with, and now consider to be friends. Or at least, fellow underground scumbags. Thanks you rowdy lot!

Wasted #7 Is Upon Us!

Issue #7 of Wasted is out now from Alan Grant's Bad Press Ltd. Available in comic shops, newsagents and irradiated bomb craters all over the UK and online here!

You'll find all sorts of sordid sorcrery therein, including some by written by me: The Yoke of Our Own Wrong-Doing with the mighty Nulsh, a fistful of strips with art by devious Dave Alexander and there's more Zinder Surprises to be had with pernicious Paul McCann!

Here's a wee preview:

 And this issue's cover is a bombastically sexy Nazi-Undead-Fetish sexbomb by Alex Ronald from the 'Vampire Vixens of the Wermacht' strip contained therein. Yowza!

Spectrum is Red (and Sore)

Ooyah! Click to embiggen if you feel compelled to do so. This one was in Wasted #4 a wee while back with sterling art duties by diabolical Dave Alexander...

See everything by me and Dave here!

In the Viz!

I'm very pleased to say there's a wee strip by myself and Dave Alexander in this month's Viz!

We're in October's issue 199 just at the bottom of the Letterbocks. Obviously I can't stick it up here, but here's a postage-stamp sized sneaky peek:
Thanks to Dave for his sterling work on Viz efforts both past and future!

No One Could Resist My Incendiary Riffs...

An absurdist cautionary tale on the dangers of Guitar Hero which was in Wasted #4 a few months back. Art by Dave Alexander. 
It was later pointed out to me that South Park had already done this joke. What can ya do?

Cilla Black's Back, Sack and Crack

A wee celebration of British national treasure Cilla Black, with art by Dave Alexander. Click to embiggen!
It may not surprise you to know that this grubby little number was a submission to Viz. Or that it was rejected...!

Ants In The Pants of The Pirates of Penzance...

Based on the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera. Come on, you know how it goes...!
