The latest issue of the ace digital comics anthology 100% Biodegradable – the biggest issue yet featuring a cover by Edward R. Norden – is available now from Comicsy!
(Declared bias alert – I’m co-writer on “Skow Dogs” with editor David Hailwood).
Inside Issue 20, an extra large 48-page extravaganza, positively rammed with action adventure, deadpan and on occasion, wickedly gruesome comedy and much more:
Alan Grant and Alan Burrows’ legendary ‘Funguys‘ gatecrash the Last Supper, with sobering consequences
A lowly cleaner deals with major abandonment issues after everyone in the entire world leaves for a different time line, in ‘Time Waits‘ by David Hailwood, Gary O’ Donnell, Anne-Marie-Webb and Ken Reynolds

On a vastly overpopulated earth, two government agents attempt to keep the population in check and rack up a hefty kill bonus in ‘Supply and Demand‘ by David Hailwood and Tony Suleri
An android underdog bites off more than he can chew in ‘Rumblebot Rampage‘ by Tim ‘Comicsy’ West and Edward R. Norden
