Splank #1.

Delighted to say I have a strip in the first issue of the very wonderful Splank. Its a story about an old Irish Alchemist who finds himself thrown through time into modern Belfast. A sort of Catweazle with Spides and Norn Iron people. I was doubly happy to be on the page opposite Davy Francis, a writer and artist I not only greatly admire but one with whom I have had the pleasure to work with; way back on the first issue of Holy Cross. Peter is trying to evoke the spirit of an era now sadly passed in British comics and he manages to straddle quite skillfully the feelings for the then, the now and what is to come.
             Splank could well become a highly addictive pleasure.
