Some place names sound more like a character than somewhere you’d live.

The Headless Creeper
Not sure where this sinister character has crept from…
More of Jack’s Worry
Here’s an early colour sample from when I was designing the look of the characters for Jack’s Worry. In the end I did away with a mouth for the Worry and gave it more a look of anguished blankness.
But in any case, this is how it starts to look for Jack when it starts to get really worrying.
Radio On #2 – competition
Radio On is an independent, music-themed comic strip anthology of short stories. I contributed a story to #1, which came out last year.
Excitingly, #2 is out now, with 6 exclusive stories and a wraparound cover.
My own contribution this time round is ‘Professor Valdemar’s Final Experiment’, a darkly comic tale that wonders what our souls might sound like if they could be turned into music…
Here’s a sneak preview:
Both issue are available to buy here, for a mere pittance, but I also have 3 copies to give away absolutely free. To get hold of one, all you have to do is answer the following questions:
The main character in my story takes his name from another character in a short story by a famous gothic writer. Which writer is it, and what is the story in question?
To answer, find me on Facebook (search Sam Zuppardi Illustrator) and send me a message detailing your answer, along with your postal address. (UK entries only, I’m afraid). The first 3 correct responses will all receive a copy of #2.
Good luck, and happy listening!
