We’ll be at Thought Bubble in Leeds this weekend, 23rd – 24th September, in the Comixology Marquee in the Millennium Square…at table 103! Ian, David and ‘Olly will be on hand all weekend to sign books, sketch and chat.
This will be our final UK convention this year, but you can catch up with Ian and ‘Olly at Malta Comic Con at the Mediterranean Convention Centre in Valletta on 2nd – 3rd December.
We’ll be announcing our 2018 convention schedule soon.
If you’re waiting for The Return Of The Son Of Eleventh Hour to hit Comixology before you read it, the wait’s almost over…
Hey there, Orangufans!
We’d just like to remind you of the two exciting new releases we’ve got coming out this month.
First up is Unsworn #1, a thrillin tale of sword and sorcery by our very own David Wynne (Hypergirl, Spacescape). Unsworn #1 will be available at the Orang Utan Comics stand at London Super Comic Con which runs from the 25th to 27th of August at the Business Design Centre in Islington, London. Find out more and buy tickets here.
And speaking of LSCC, we’d also like to remind you that the Celebrating 10 Years Of Orang Utan Comics panel is on Friday 25th of August there at 2:15pm in Panel Room 3. RSVP to our event page here.
Secondly, we’re also releasing our new anthology celebrating ten years of OUC, The Return Of The Son Of Eleventh Hour. We’ll have that on sale at the OUC stand at LSCC, but those of you who can’t make it to the show can pre-order their copy on Amazon now. You can find links to pre-order the book from all of Amazon’s international sites on the Markosia website here.
Celebrating 10 Years Of Orang Utan Comics!
It’s Orang Utan Comics’ tenth anniversary and we’re having a party…and you’re all invited!
However, so are space pirates, dragons, Vikings, extra-humans, vampires, axe murdering cheerleaders, werewolves, Boadicca, more vampires, a super hero, outlaws, a gelatinous cube, a doom laden message from the future and a whole cast of weird and wonderful characters.
It’s going to be quite a party.
The Return Of The Son Of Eleventh Hour features eighteen stories from the past, present and, quite possibly, the future of Orang Utan Comics. It all kicks off with a brand new prologue to The Intergalactic Adventures of Zakk Ridley and ends with a rarely seen Hero: 9 to 5 short. It’s been ten years and OUC are still making comics for a strange new world.
Available to pre-order now on Amazon worldwide, The Return Of The Son Of Eleventh Hour is the anthology that quite literally has something for everyone!
Monsters, cryogenics, relationships, religion, war, dragons, cannibalism, angels, demons, space exploration, aliens, beans, eyes, traffic cones, gods, Chicago, pot plants, robots, a dive bar on Mars, goblins, heart break, July, cake, bees, geese, peacock flavour crisps and time travel are just some of the things you’ll find in this eclectic collection of flash fiction and poetry.
Originally written for the Elephant Words website where writers are challenged to produce a new short piece of writing each week inspired by a picture posted to the site, this series of short stories, scenes and poems charts the musings and preoccupations of award winning writer, Ian Sharman.
“Writing for Elephant Words gave me the freedom to experiment with my writing, play with words, try new things and really stretch myself,” commented Ian.
At times incredibly dark and deeply personal but often very, very silly, Words On A Wall is available now from Markosia.
We’re still busy dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s on our 2017 convention schedule, but we’ll definitely be at True Believers in February!
