Ink Soup 2/Here's Johnny

Firstly congratulations to everyone who is in the second Ink Soup, we passed the vigorous Chiu examination, have now been mass printed and hopefully be flying off the shelves, so don't forget to spread the word about it, Chiu has 45 copies and Johann has 5 so that's where they can be purchased! We'll push this one then onwards to the next issue, freaky fables!

Secondly, I was wondering if anyone saw Here's Johnny on More4 on tues night? Shame i didn't know about it before hand but it was a really interesting programme about John Hickleton, a 2000Ad comic illustrator. It was to do with his battle against MS and how his art keeps him going, not exactly relevant but all the same i thought it was really worth a watch, so if it comes on again i recommend it, i would put up his page...but he doesn't have on, only found this on lambiek.net

but, he's worth coming across as I think he would appeal to Jess and Johann as his ink/drawing work is amazing, plus its very dark stuff!
