Paul Grist’s Big Cosmic Comic

By John Freeman on February 24, 2009

(with thanks to “The Cap): Paul Grist, whose other credits include the fabulous Jack Staff comic, has begun to run his Big Cosmic Comic, subtitled “The Continuing Adventures of the Eternal Warrior”, as a blog.

The strip is a homage, of course, to a well known immortal British comics hero and other things…

“This is something I’ve had in the back of my head for a year or so now, and I keep coming back to it then going away again.

“This a work in progress – all comments are welcome – I hope to add at least one new page every week, depending on what else I’m doing! We’ll see how it goes.”
