Now that Steeple has concluded (for the forseeable future, at least) I have set the front page to be the first page of the archive for the benefit of new readers and re-readers. The original five-issue Dark Horse series is not on the site but it is still available in print (cover below) and as a digital version through all the usual channels. If you’re new to Steeple, the brief prologue/epilogue that follows will fill you in.
Max Sarin and I did a long interview with Comix Experience (San Francisco) about our work on Great British Bump-Off and much more besides. The livestream is archived in the video below.

I know that about 130 people a day (out of a dwindling 17.8K) still use my X.com (formerly Twitter) link to direct them to the new comic. Given the state of the platform in 2023, I no longer want to interact with it. This doesn’t mean I don’t want to interact with you. Apologies for the inconvenience.
If you’ve been waiting for the collection of the Great British Bump Off (my 2023 4-part series with Max Sarin), you can buy it now from your comic shop or bookshop of choice. And I will be signing copies at Gosh Comics in London this Saturday from 1-2PM (you’ll also be able to get the new Giant Days mini).
