Splank! Annual 2024 £16 inc UK P&P
See below for international links
Inspired by Wham!, Smash! and Pow!, the comics of, S13 Editor, Peter Duncan's childhood, Whapp!, Splank! and Yow! are three new titles launched at Enniskillen Comicsfest on 8th and 9th June, 2024 and provided almost 200 pages of superb comics.
Created to benefit, 'NHS Charities Together', all proceeds after printing and postage costs will go to the charity. The token payments made to writers and artists were funded from the sale of some choice books from the editors' extensive comics collection.
Anthology titles, very much like their sixties inspiration, all three comics are filled with humour and adventure strips with more than the usual touch of the surreal.
Highlights include strips from Nigel Parkinson, the current 'Dennis the Menace' artists and Dave Windett, who has worked for almost every humour comics you have ever heard of. There are strips from the award-winning team of Metaphrog, and from Kek-W of 2000 AD fame. Gary Whitlock and Joseph McCafferty produce some superb art on my own Cthulhu Kids stories while Joseph does double duty on a brace of traditional war tales. One is written by Enniskillen Comics Fest organiser, Paul Trimble, while the other is a prose story by former 2000 Ad and Battle editor, Steve MacManus.
And there are pages and pages of strips by our own Davy Francis, star of Oink back in the day
The three books come in different formats. Whapp is a 32 page, oversized 'summer special'. Just right for full page spreads and pages that needed that little bit of extra room to look especially spectacular. Watch for Jospeh Parangue, Scott Twells and, some spectacular work from Davy Francis. Covers and centre-spread by Nigel Parkinson
Yow! is an A5 digest comic, with stories specially designed for the format. 52 pages, with some extra surreal strips from Julius Howe, Pete Howard and Keith Mcveigh and amazing art from Rob Anthony, Adam Brown and Ste Chinnock among others. That Davy Francis guy appears here as well
Splank! is the book we've been working on for a long time. A4, softcover square-bound book , a chunky 112 pages. Packed with superb stories and art. We pulled out all the stops here and we're very proud of what our writers and artists have done.
Like the first issue, Splank! and its sister titles are suitable for kids, but suitable in a very interesting way. There is information on classical composers, the Dada art movement and the nicest anarchist anyone ever met, all mixed with slapstick and dad jokes.
I was delighted to be able include the Metaphrog team, who have reinvented children's graphic novels and Stref, who is about to publish Tara Togs, a return to out and out adventure in graphic novels.
In case it hasn't come over, I am incredibly proud of these books, and want to thank everyone involved. And even if its not your sort of thing, I hope you will consider making a donation to 'NHS Charities Together' at my Justgiving page.

S13: ANNO DOMINI 1900
Available now, the first issue of S13, our new themed anthology title. We start with 'Anno Domini 1900'. A comic which imagines what a publication might have looked like, had a far-sighted publisher in 1877 thought to combine the hugly popular scientific romances of Jules Verne, with the talents of the greatest artists of his day to produce something new and exciting.
With stories by Kek-W and John Smith, each famous for their contributions to 2000 AD, and Julia Round, the comics academic who, quite literally, wrote the book on Misty you know that we have an outstanding writing team behind us.
Paddy Brown delivers his best work yet, writing and drawing 'Penny Blood', and we introduce Pete Howard with his wonderfully funny 'Penguin's Tale' (Pete knows how to please his editor) illustrated by Adam Brown who you'll be seeing a lot of in the near future.
We're thrilled to be working with Mal Earl, a creator willing to experiment with different styles of storytelling as he continues his Radclyffe epic, and Diego Guerra, who supplied our stunning cover and a brilliant ten page story inside, that really tries to get into the mind of the people of the 1870's and looks incredible.
We're also unreasonably proud of our whole art team this time round. Alongside Paddy, Mal, Adam and Diego we have Italian artist Mauro Longhini, who brings a new dimension to B&W. Scott Twells is at his inventive and psychedelic best and Pau Scorpi's layouts, designs and colour palatte have brought an unexpected and atmospheric grace to a very strange John Smith epic.
Finally, and a big personal thrill for me, Mark Bennington who worked for practically every humour comic at some stage in the eighties and nineties has written and drawn a superb single page strip for us. With spot illustrations from Hunt Emerson and an inside back cover from David Hitchcock it is, without any doubt, our best package yet.
68 pages, A4. £13 inc UK P&P. Available to order now.

LIMITED EDITION ASHCANS
In preparing the first issue of 'S13, Anno Domini 1900', we produced a very limited number of 'Ashcan' editions' to help make decisions about paper weight, paper type and what type of binding we would use. Where possible, we removed all dialogue and captions from strips so as to show off the superb artwork to best effect.
We have decided to make a very small number of copies of these ashcans available now.
There are two different editions available, both have the same contents, but Ashcan A is stapled and uses silk paper throughout, while Ashcan B is perfect (square) bound and printed on uncoated paper. Price will be £19 inc UK P&P or £28 if bought with a pre-order for the first issue proper (in which case both will be delivered, together, in late May, early June.)
Numbers of these items are very limited, so if you are interested in buying one of these oddities of comics production, please contact us at admin@sector13comics.co.uk and we will forward an individual payment link.
