A very exciting new project I've just completed, in between other jobs - The Scottish Falsetto Socks Do Shakespeare The Graphic Novel. It's 70-odd pages long, and incorporates the already-existing Richard III and Romeo and Juliet strips with a whole new load of strip pages.
Pretty well every sketch from the show, from Shall I Compare Thee, through Hw We Met, to An Actor Prepares, The Porter Scene, and Othello, all drawn in glorious comic style. I've even done illustrated pages of the lyrics of the songs we play in the audience-in music, including As You Like It (to the tune of I Like It), Loves Labours Lost (Neighbours), Comedy Of Errors (Umbrella), Nick Bottom (Big Bottom), King John (Big John), and more. A most satisfying little production to have completed, I must say.
The ebook is available in a variety of ways, all listed here, and the paperback is coming soon for Lulu, and should be found here. If it makes it onto Amazon, and my comic books mostly don't recently, I'll let you know.
The Socks will be performing Shakespeare at The Lakes Comic Festival in September, so this new book will be available as merchandise.
Frustratingly D2D, who've been very good at getting my books out there and onto Amazon, have "blocked" this one (the first time that's happened) because, they say, the pages have too much dense ink on them and it'll show through the printed pages. That'll be the tartan backgrounds. So I've uploaded it to Lulu, but I'm hoping an amended D2D version might still make its way out there. Ironically, I wasn't going to make a Lulu edition at all, and have only done so because D2D raising this problem.
