Here's your Friday Phantom and Alien!

The Fish Man attacks the guards outside The Great Barrow Itself, kidnaps Underhill and prepares to take over. The Phantom gets a lift back home...



Keep up with the EPIC tale!

Not long to go before the climactic climax of this exciting adventure for The Phantom and Alien! But before Volume three starts there will be a short break. I'll probably do a quick adventure for Phanston and Ailsbry; Private Detectives and then move on to something... different.

This 'something different' will be a week or two so of guest comics. Yep. From now until then I will be calling on anyone who wants to make a P&A to do so. I don't know how many there will be, but I'm hoping for a few. But it will be different than last time. Once I have established who will be doing them I will assign them challenges for their comics. They'll range from "Do Sir Phantom and Master Alan" or "Something where Alien wears a hat" all the way to "Kill off so-and-so in a hilarious manner".

Hope that sounds like fun.

Sounds, at least... Okay, let's see what can be done about it...

Fun. If you were to draw for this, could you upload a drawing of P and A, or do you need to draw it using paint?

Either. Whichever you are more comfortable with.

Anyway. I've been called away on important government business tomorrow morning so I'm posting this weeks Downer an hour early. If this offends you then you can take it up with your local MP. I think his name is Mister Underhill.

Well, here goes...

Thanks to Oddwen for the main headline and to TGEW for the second one.



Thanks to Alien, Swamp City is now burning down. How will the friendly sewer oranges cope? We shall see...


Comic Archive

Well, the adventure continues on Wednesday.

When I first started The Downer, this is kind of what I had in mind. More reader involvement. I really did not imagine writing so many silly articles about nothing in particular. I mean, look at some of these things! It's a wonder I haven't been sectioned!

Thumbs up 'Tis Good!

I liked the Downer this week! Especially the second story.

No, I liked the whole thing. I liked the last part of Phantom and Alien, where lal makes that hilarious comment!

I have sources deep in the heart of government. Also, I used Alien's Time-travel hat.

I've been thinking about something. You Phantom and Alien fans may be interested. As My brother and I have been making volume three (he's doing the pictures because I physically can't do the stuff I'd need to in order to tell the story well), I've decided to do a prologue. It will start with my artwork and slowly fade into the new style.

Now, for this prologue we'll have Death getting drunk in Burnt Burt's Bar. He will be talking to someone. Who should it be? I think some sort of contest is in order, don't you?
