Welcome
Hello there! My name's Matt, although you can call me Little Lord Fauntleroy if you like. It will only make me cry is all. Once upon a time a young Matt (who we shall call "Matty") was first introduced to comics by his younger brother. This younger brother (who we shall call "bro") had a 2000AD Monthly, featuring Nemesis the Warlock, Book 5. Well , Matty became hooked. Since then, many comics have been read by Matty and bro, and this Matty fellow dreamed of one day doing his own comic. Then, tragedy struck! Matty was afflicted with chronic slackness, and his dreams were cut short in a cruel shrug of apathy.
Now, many years later (nearly 15), Matty grew up to become Matt (that's me again - I do hope you're paying attention). He started bothering people at a forum site for Australian Comics, called OzComics of all things (www.ozcomics.com). Well, a Challenge was issued! Write and draw a comic in 24 hours, from 10am on Saturday the 12th of October, to 10am on Sunday the 13th (which, coincidently, is a period of 24 hours). Well, Matt accepted this challenge, in memory of poor apathy-afflicted Matty, and finished 24 pages of one of the most rushed and messy comics in history. This is that comic! Or the inside cover of that comic, if the previous person to read it ripped this cover off in disgust.
So, if you're reading this bit before having bought the comic, what are you waiting for? Part with your cash and settle in for an adventure! If however you've already paid your money, and I'm not within easy punching distance - Sucked In!
Dedicated to my Monkey!
And to the original Shauny and Rhi
Special thanks to the OzComics crew on the night, and the ever-so-talented Daniel Cox for keeping me going when I nearly gave up at 6am.
