As Halloween approaches I hope you’re all spooking yourself reading Tommy’s superb SCREAM STREET series! But what to do once you’ve read (and re-read, yes Tommy, stop poking me with that broken monster rib) those? Well, sometimes it’s good to stumble on something new…

During last weekend’s comic expo at the eXcel arena in London, not only was I delighted that my horror graphic novel, RITUAL, sold out, but I was able to find new comics I’d previously never heard of. Once such one comic was VAMPIRE FREE STYLE (self-published by Neptune Factory).

It’s a magical fantasy romp (with Manga overtones) about a prince seeking his princess… through the help of a cool cat called Micia.  It’s a quick read, delightfully illustrated and quirky (I loved the witch who was learning to fly).  It’s not the kind of thing I normally go for, but there was something about the artwork that caught my eye.

But the moral of this tale is; don’t be afraid of trying something new… you WILL be surprised…

Happy Halloween everyone!
