So, I have some very exciting news to finally share with you about The Lengths. The story was always envisioned as being finite, so I’m very pleased to be able to say that I’m working with Soaring Penguin Press to bring out a collected edition this Autumn. I was really pleased when I met up...
Today is Creator-Owned Day, a celebration of comics made by the people who own the characters within. You can read more about the incentive over here. This is Eddie, the central protagonist of The Lengths heading to the shower after a workout at the gym. You can pick up a copy of The Lengths from...

“Sexy and seedy dog tales.” – Attitude Magazine. “Beautiful and gritty.” – Out There Magazine. “What stays with you on completing the comic is a sense of having read something raw, powerful and very real.” – Forbidden Planet International. “Gay comics blissfully devoid of rainbow paraphernalia.” – Gay Times. Today, I took delivery of the...
Both Eddie and I have come a long way since the first issue of The Lengths, and I’m pleased to say that the final issue of The Lengths, including chapters 7 and 8 will be available in October. Pre-ordering options are available now. The Lengths started out many years ago when I was in the...
It’s been a long journey along with Eddie, but after issue 6 came out a couple of months ago, I can now announce that issues 7 and 8 will come out together in a double-length (pun painfully intentional) special to bring the story to its conclusion. I’ll put pre-order information online in the next week...
Marvel and DC are both racing to grab headlines as the original Green Lantern turns out to be gay in the new 52 and Northstar is getting married over in Marvel continuity. It’s wonderful that mainstream comics are having gay characters. I liked the male couple in Young Avengers and the genderqueer couple in Runaways,...
Oh, London. Next month, I’m going to be moving away from London, which is going to be a strange change for me – leaving behind the city that’s been home for most of my life, apart from brief sojourns in Norwich and Leeds, and the place that’s been home throughout my adulthood. It’s also the...
The first issue of The Lengths is available to view online. If you’re new to The Lengths, it’s the story of a young escort in London getting caught up in knots trying to please everyone and, possibly, forgetting about himself. The series as a whole, currently on issue six of eight, is available in...
Issue six, Art History, is coming soon. Eddie has to face the consequences of the choices he’s made and face his demons and himself and answer the painful question: has it been worth the price he’s paid to create the new life he’s leading as Ford? Challenging realisations and surprises await as he looks back...
Eddie makes his case, from The Lengths 3. Just been reading that the state of Ontario in Canada has passed a law making it easier and safer for prostitutes to advertise and to work together in brothels. While the article I’ve linked to is right, and this doesn’t address the issues of poverty and...
As you’ve probably seen, the price of a stamp is set to rise by a third from the end of April. At the moment, I’ve been able to under-price a lot of the postage and packaging on my comics by buying envelopes in bulk, but the prices of stamps are set to rise by a...
