Long time Scar Comics readers may well remember the Science Fiction Horror comics we published in 2006 by talented artist and animator Dave Neal.

The New Cover for the GUTS graphic novel by Creator Dave Neal

The first two issues were sold as printed floppies while the final part was only ever released as a digital web comic.

Well now Scar Comics are proud to announce that we’ll be publishing the full story as a single Graphic Novel in all it’s entirety.

Both Scar Comics and Creator Dave Neal are very happy to finally be giving the comic justice both in print and online.

The final release date will be announced very soon so watch this space for more developments!

Madam Samurai Wins American Media Award

Chebbo — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 11:15:22 +0000

Scar Comics are pleased to announce that our 2010 book Madam Samurai recently won “Best Digital Comic” at the New Media Film Festival Awards in Los Angeles, USA. (Here’s a link: http://www.newmediafilmfestival.com/)

This is a great kick start to our digital publishing plans as we look forward to rolling all of our titles out to ipad, PC and Android users this Summer with Madam Samurai leading the way.

Winning this award proves that traditionally crafted comics and graphic novels still have a place in the digital world as artist Dave Hitchcock still uses pencils and pens to produce his beautiful artwork without a single graphics tablet or scanner in sight

Congratulations to all those who worked with us on the book: Gary Young – writer, Dave Hithcock, Artist, and of course the creator Gael McLaughlin.

KAPOW A HUGE SUCCESS FOR SCAR COMCS

Chebbo — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 10:50:46 +0000

The new Kapow Comic Con in London last April was a great event for publishers and we at Scar Comics sold out of almost all of our books.

We launched two new books at the show, which was a bit of a gamble considering this was the inaugural event. However it paid off as Kapow enticed fans and the curious browsers alike. Yes all the usual faces could be seen, but in addition about 3000 new faces were attending and they all seemed to have money to spend on comics they’d never heard of! The two new books – The Mice and Slumdroid created huge interest and both creaors Roger Mason and Ben Dickson respectivly were there to help promote the books and sign copies for fans.

The added bonus was that our small stock of older titles also sold out including Madam Samurai Book #1 and Falling Sky. The latter, also by Ben Dickson, was probably - we speculated – doing so well due to the interest in the similarly titled production “Falling Skies” from Steven Speilburg, as Kapow attracted not just comics fans but movie and TV lovers too with a host of star guests from both Hollywood and the Britisth TV Industry.

We are now looking forward to the second Kapow in 2012 as well – of course – 2011 Birmingham Comic Com and Thought Bubble in Leeds.
