PRESENTING!
Creationism Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 by Jesse Breytenbach
A three-part knitting epic wherein a neighbouring couple's arguments are turned into hand-crafted wooly dolls.
A strange but beautiful tale of a malevolent scientist and his three arms of death.
The Adventures of Mighty Moe by Sebastian Borckenhagen
This was Sebastian's first ever comic, apparently the starting chapter of a giant semi-autobiographical and highly revealing epic starring Moe, his emotional and musican proxy. It's quite possible that all further Moeventures were folded into The Ancient Shark Of Despair's blog.
The Birthing Fields by Morgan Serkis & Brice Reignier
A soldier on a future African battlefield stumbles across a nightmare made of poor and malnourished infants.
Executive Toy, drawn by Simon Tamblyn, written by Tom McNally
The many miracles of genetic engineering have produced the ultimate stress toys of the future.
The Inner Workings Of My Red Rabbit by Dom Sable
A pharmacological love story imprinted on the scattered pages of long-lost dedications.
Soggy: A True Ninja Story by Tom McNally
Being a True Ninja means being good enough to repel all the enemies invading your house before your cereal goes soggy.
BONUS EXTRA SPECIAL MATERIAL!
Scamps for the title design. We made our decision by picking out the one that did not look awful.
The original Semiotic Cohesion logo, featuring Sky-Byte, a warrior-bard who is also a transforming shark. This version was used for about ten minutes before Brice cleaned it up for general consumption.
Some sketches for the front cover by Brice.
The original draft of the Shark VS The Man back cover, drawn around a piece of maths homework. Hilarious!
An advertisement for the first issue that went into Shane Chebsey's Frontline magazine.
