“A feat so amazing, I am forced to point it out myself!” Lovely to read this from the charming (and very hirable) Owen, who has brought so many of our comics to life. In fact, you can sing Collver, Worth and Watts to the same tune as Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Check out the full article below!

A lovely little insight into the chromatic wizardry of my good friend and comic-spirator Owen, including our collaborations with
@rikworth.bsky.social
and
@itraineu.bsky.social
. My freelance career wouldn't be what it is without any of them! Thanks Mr. Watts🖖

about the challenges of being a science journalist in the UK and India. Full comic here:

The hardback collection has always been a bit pricey so if that's ever put anyone off picking one up, now's the time!

All ages. Spooky. Skeptical. Scientific. We got to work with parapsychologist Richard Wiseman to make interactive comics. And we convinced the publishers to put it on discount for Halloween (and Christmas if you’re prepared!)

Shortly after the death of Dave Evens aka Bolt 01
@owenwattsdraws.bsky.social
raised money for a suicide charity by auctioning off donated art. I wanted to contribute but I suck at art. So, I did what Bob Kane would, I copied someone else’s work and passed it off as mine. Happy Batman day.

🌙Artists, QRP with your favourite you've drawn!🌙 Well over a decade ago I had this weird era where I'd regularly draw different folk in regionally appropriate versions of the 2012 Dredd costume. Still like this one!

Tis spooky season! New bluesky follow might not know about our Eisner nominated series Hocus Pocus. It makes great reading in the run up to Halloween and our most spooktacular book until we convince our publishers to let us do Pets Tell Tales: Monsters!

Anyone else think the timing of the action figure trend, immediately after the Studio Ghibli trend soured is strange? These feel less organic and more like coordinated rollouts to me. Now there's a notable backlash to this one, how long until the next one comes along?

Thought we were long sold out, but this morning I unearthed a small box of HOCUS POCUS single issues - the very last of their kind! #1 Mind Reading, #2 Seances, #3 Ghosts, and #5 Levitation (sorry no #4 Prophecy). £5 per issue or £15 for all 4, postage included, signed by me. DM me if interested!

With Hocus Pocus back in print I though I’d share this little 2 page section about the magical thinking of the wealthy and class dynamics. Seems fitting given, well, everything.

Vanishing Inc had a warehouse fire last year and all our books literally went up in a puff of smoke so I'm so happy to see this. If you don't already have a copy, now's the perfect time to give them (and the book) a little boost!

This is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone interested in the overlap of science, magic, forteana, and skepticism. Very funny, really interesting and informative, and constantly doing ingenious things with the comics medium.

In a shock twist, it looks like Hocus Pocus: The Complete Collection has been reprinted and is available in the UK again! For new followers, it’s an Eisner-nominated, critical look at the shared history of science, the supernatural and illusions!
