Total Fear 5 Available Now!

2011-09-19T11:07:00.003+01:00

At long last, TF5 is complete!

Featuring an amazing cover job by Mr Colin Barr and
Mr Jamie Grant! The best looking Total Fear ever!

I got the latest edition of Total Fear onto lulu this morning.
It's been a real saga getting this together, mainly slowed
up by my working on other comics along the way, etc.

The new issue features criminal misadventures with Nadia,
and her malcontent sidekick, Heinz. Also appearing is Lucy,
who meets the "Phantom Wrestler", a new character!

I heartily recommend you check it out if possible.
I sell the zine at cover price, no profits, just comics!

Get TF5 here!

previous image of Iyak Zakak totally ruled, and it was great
to see the powers of good being represented now too!

2010-01-26T23:38:00.003Z

Total Fear had the honour to be mentioned along with various other

underground comics like "Khaki Shorts", "Nexion" and "Wasted" in

a recent article on The Comics Journal! Check it out here!

It was entitled "The New Scottish Underground" and is a good

read if you want a handle on what is hot (or not) right now in

Scots comics. We're glad to say TCJ considers Total Fear to be

in the "hot" category, using the term: 'utterly endearing'...!

Many thanks to Gavin Lees for his great article and for helping

highlight the best players and aspects of Scottish small press!

Total Fear Collection Three Reviewed!

2009-07-19T13:10:00.003+01:00

The amazing Terry Hooper at Comic Bits Online had this to say:

"Am I sad to really like this cover? Very nicely done. As this is the Global Meltdown Special what can one expect?

Well,it opens with “Loa The Tone” and that first panel with Baron Samedi [oh go on,google the name!], looks great. And a nice ending, but the art does it for me - And good use of grey tone.

“Rotten To The Cortaz” is just as good and I think the last time I enjoyed humorous horror tales had to be in 1987 with Steve Lines’ Creepy Stories zines. And as for the current economic “downturn”, I think it adequately explained by “Financial Slimes”!

Zander provides “Armageddon On Campus” and Iyak Zakak returns and asks that very important question on all our minds: ”Why are you sorcerors always naked?” And if you are a Star Trek [The Original Series] fan then you’ll love Tiberius McGregor’s take on the genre in “Total Trek”!

There is,of course, ”Convention-Hall Warfare” by Sibling - Ah, some very unusual fan-boy/thing geeks. All rounded off by a great illo crediting Zander and McGregor, who I had no idea were actually Count Zander and Lord Tiberius McGregor. Wow.

I would wax lyrical but the art is nice, the quality of printing is good and, natch,there’s that cover [a t-shirt design if ever there was one].

Summing up: BUYBUYBUYBUYBUYBUYBUY, oh, and, BUY!"

Once again, our thanks to Terry and CBO!

Total Fear is avialable at Lulu.com

Total Fear Collection Two reviewed...

2009-07-19T13:01:00.004+01:00

Comic Bits Online very kindly reviewed the 2nd issue!

They had this to say...
"Nice cover to Collection Two but let’s get to the interior pages! Hey, in new comic style tradition, Mr Sibling gives us a “list of players” in his latest work. Why not? “Abra-Disaster” is quite good fun with its intermediary villain, Iyak Zakak, and when the evil Lord Shabash does turn up it provides for a humorous ending. Oh, and the women lose their clothes - Kids: it is what happens when you mess with the dark forces. Word.

“Big Game!” has another warning. Never get into a van and go driving over dangerous mountain roads or you could end up being hunted by some undead creep who thinks he/it is a big game hunter - See,that’s where the title comes in. Oh,and the women lose their clothes.

We’ve all heard of Sergeant Rock, but how about General Snider? Oh, yeah. DC war comics were never like this. When a “terrorist threat” is spotted, Snider “pumps up” and goes into action. Things go a little off plan and Snider runs foul of the Secretary of Defence. Oh, and the women lose their clothes.

“Let’s Talk About Feelers”..yes. erm. A dire warning against misusing mysticism,the delights of Sapho and tentacled things. Oh, and the woman..DOESN’T lose her clothes??! What??

“Not Playing Pharoah”. Who needs to watch “Blood From The Mummy’s Tomb” when you have this? And for once a young lady asks why she is without clothes? Right on,Sister!

“Cosmic Board Games” I’m not going to tell you about because, if you are over 18, you MUST buy this book.

I should point out,though, that this is a very humorous book and that Curt Sibling is joined by Zander [”Snider Takes Command”, which looks like grey-toned colour work?] and Tiberius McGregor [”Let’s talk about Feelers”]. And I must not forget Jimmy D! I think I’ve already said that Sibling is one of my favourite artists and I love that Underground feel to the art and the stories are pure anarchic fun. The “busy” art of Sibling with cross-hatching, line shading and so on is eye-catching - no computer here!

Saying this is an Underground style comic may make people think I mean it’s very American. It is not. I don’t think U.S. readers would have a problem reading and understanding it, but it is uniquely British [in the sense that we English always like to pull anything good under that banner]. Contact Curt and find out how much a copy costs but you really do have to buy one issue - Better than reading a Marvel or DC comic!"

Our thanks go to Terry Hooper at CBO!
