The Witch’s House. Prepare for impact!

87 years ago today. Happy Anniversary, Batman!

Thank you.

The Witch’s House keeps on growing.

The Witch’s House. It’s raining vowels…

Pleasantly surprised to find one of my old Hellblazer illustrations being used on the spine of this recent Swamp Thing collection. There are also three of the stories I pencilled featured in the volume. @dccomics2023.bsky.social

Happy New Year from The Witch’s House! And my very best wishes for everyone in 2026…phew! That came round quickly!

Thank you Santa. And a special thank you to @herring1967.bsky.social whose book club podcast has been an invaluable source for bedtime reading. This lot should last me until next Christmas!

6.30 on Christmas morning and Bob Cratchit knows no rest.

The Witch’s House, page 39. And we begin the build up to the cliffhanger which will complete Book 1.

Things are lurking, someone is screaming and there are nasty scratching, biting things. All in The Witch’s House.

Two double-page spreads from The Witch’s House.

The Witch’s House. Work continues…

An early page from The Witch’s House that will require the slightest of tweaks to maintain consistency with what comes later. Fortunately I still have the cardboard model I made as reference for the main building.

Jerry Siegel was born on this day in 1914. His legacy is probably best acknowledged as the co-creator (along with artist Joe Shuster) of Superman. This is my re-creation of that first appearance of the Man of Steel in 1938 and is dedicated to both of them.

The Witch’s House. Two larger A2 size double page spreads from book 1.

Another A2 size double-page spread from The Witch’s House. From the furnace of their hive the swarm fly to the rescue!

The Witch’s House. Book 1 is nearly done.

I’m on the last lap of The Witch’s House Book 1. And there’s something lurking in the cellar!

Smoky air over Scarborough at 5.30 this morning as the North Yorkshire moors fire continues to burn.

A reminder of the time, just after the premiere of Road to Perdition, that Sam Mendes and Tom Hanks had a few nice things to say about yours truly.

There are a lot of pages of The Witch’s House that I’ve yet to reveal. These are a few of the highlights so far.
