I don't wish to upset my non UK firends on the board but I just read the first part of the Comics International story and its cool.
Dez Skinn was giving you a very nice write up as well - how much did that set you back? |

And just to head off any complaints about this - the main reason for the Comics International strip is to try and get wider exposure for Jack Staff and hopefully pull in a few new readers. If you don't want to get (or can't get) Comics International then don't worry - I do plan on releasing a collected comic when the story is completed - a giant size Jack Staff special or somesuch...
And I didn't pay Dez Skinn a penny for that introductiion. By the same token he's not paying a penny for the strip either....

Paul, just finished reading the final part of this story. It's great! The ending seems a bit rushed though - but I'll probably just have to reread the story entirely...
Still planning to collect it in a separate issue?

A little rushed in a couple of ways - due to an e- mail misunderstanding I thought I had a week and a half to complete the final episode, but I ended up having to do it over a single weekend to meet the deadline (which I did - just) but then for a variety of reasons (nothing to do with me) the magazine still ended up being about a month later than scheduled!
The other thing was I was hoping to have a cople of 8 page episodes to end with, which Dez originally OK'd but then when trying to fit everything planned in realised wouldn't fit so I had 6 pages, whch included the recap page. So I did have to cut a couple of story elements at the last minute including a 2 part epilogue whch would have rounde up a couple of loose ends.
The collected version should be out in Jan 2007, - this will be a revised and expanded version including some edited out sequences and the epilogue section, as well as a few other bonus pages.
It's probably going to be called Jack Staff - the Wierd World Special unles I have any other bright ideas in the next 15 hours.

Okay, so the official title is now 'the Wierd World of Jack Staff King Size Special'!
