B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S

Now buy the bastard

2010-10-13T00:07:00.000-07:00

Richard Bruton has given the new thicker Bastards 2 a cracking review on Forbidden Planet. You can read it for yourselves HERE.
For those interested in getting their hands on a copy, for the modest sum of £10 (+postage) check out contributors individual sites or troll along to a convention near you.
This weekend Paul Rainey will be appearing at BICS in Birmingham, while Sean Azzopardi is off to Malta as a guest of Malta Comic Con. Various contributors will be touting their wares at MCM Expo the last weekend of October.
Going into November there will be a whole bunch of bastards crowding behind a table at Comiket on the 7th and a couple of weeks later Leeds Thought Bubble will be awash with us dotted around the hall.
That's if you haven't been accosted by an inebriated Lester or Baillie in some London boozer in the meantime...

Here's a review of the comic on Midnight Fiction from some time ago.
But more importantly watch this space for an exciting announcement!

Bastards in best comic list

2010-04-28T01:16:00.000-07:00

Only just realised we were featured in Matt Badham best of 2009 list on Forbidden Planet back in December.
Thanks Matt!

We made it!

2010-02-05T08:29:00.000-08:00

A select group of Bastards headed South to wow the Europeans with our brand of British Comics.
Miraculously Sean, Dan, Francesca and Oliver were still talking to each other after five intense days of selling, drawing, networking, drinking, pool playing and generally relaxing in their very own bastard house complete with bubbling brown jacuzzi.

Hard at it

2010-01-20T02:38:00.000-08:00

The bastards have been very very busy and working hard on preparing for their trip to France!

Sorted for wheels and zizz

I forgot to post this review on the FPI blog HERE

The four of us who are DEFINITELY going to Angouleme now have tickets and accomodation sorted!

The bastards are coming

2009-11-05T00:33:00.000-08:00

We have received confirmation of our booking for an alternative comics booth at the 37th Angouleme festival, the Cannes of comics, exposing ourselves (their wording) from Thursday 28th to Sunday 31st January 2010.
Ah the glamour, the sophistication, the beautiful women, the wine, the cheese....
Look out France , we're on our way!

Bastards go MCM

BICS

If you’re attending this weekend’s Birmingham International Comic Show, then you might to know that I will have an advance copy of BASTARDS with me for people to look through. Come over to the table I will be sharing with Peet Clack, look at us both, mutter the code word – Bastards – and I’ll show you it. It looks great!

A l'abordage

2009-09-28T05:50:00.000-07:00

We are the bastard children of British comics.
Here is the first salvo across the bows to launch our assault on the bastions of European comicdom.
