Sector 13 Issue Seven

Sector 13, issue seven was launched at Enniskillen Comics Festival in June of this year.  Almost three years in the making, we have a fantastic selection of strips, including a real coup with the inclusion of a brand new Tyranny Rex strip, written by creator John Smith and drawn by Will Simpson.

Since lockdown we've built up more than one hundred and twenty pages of material, too much for a single issue, so we're planning a special, one-off, A5 format issue that contains a couple of Judge Dredd strips originally intended for the Zarjaz fanzine along with stories desgned specifically for the format.

Finally, we have another, format busting idea, with an oversized, 'compact tabloid', newsprint edition containing stories that needed the extra space to really show their worth.

And just to be clear, all three editions have totally different contents.

All three parts of Sector 13 Issue 7, are available for £21 including p&p via paypal to sector13@boxofrainmag.co.uk

Credit Card Payment link here.

Issue Six of Sector 13 includes 44 pages of story.  Simon McKnight's cosplay cover, features friends of the zine, Simon Crockett and Graham Alexander.

Featured this time round we have a brand and unseen new fantasy story, from 2000AD and Game of Thrones legend, Will Simpson.  With more to come in future issues

As if that wasn't enough, we have a Misty-inspired strip written by Julia Round, author of the acclaimed "Gothic for Girls", a comprehensive and insightful book on the much loved girls's comic.  

Julia brought all her understanding of what made Misty tick to the crafting of this tale and in Morgan Brinksman we had the perfect artist to bring it to life. 

This is something very special, you can read more details on our 'news' tab and see how to get a 20% discount on "Gothic for Girls" from the publisher.

And 'c'mere, there's more', this issue also continues the story of the Sector 13 Judges with art by Scott Twells (including one of my favourite pages ever to appear in the zine. Ed.) and Laurence McKenna who's skill at forging the photstories increases with each issue.

W D McQuaid and Patrick Brown introduce new SD agents, Cameo and Hurt-box in the first of what we hope will be an onging series of adventures.

We also have the welcome return of Cat Byrne, whose art in the last issue gathered a lot of attention.  This time Cat adds her skills to a story by Glenn Matchett that has delighted everyone who has seen it.

The issue is filled out with a strip by two newcomers to Sector 13, Ed Whiting and Mike Slattery bring us a future shock named, 'Lethal Weapons' that we think you are going to like.

Remember, we are always on the look out for new writers and artists for Sector 13 and for various other projects we have on the go at the moment. 

Please send art samples (sequential work, not single images) or scripts to Sector13@Boxofrainmag.co.uk.  And if you've sent something to us in the past few weeks or months, we'll be looking for stories for Issue seven very soon!
