I've been writing and crowdfunding comic books since 2014, starting with the post-apocalyptic road trip series, Bust.
Since then I've gone on to write many other comic books across several genres, and I've worked with many incredible artists, colourists and letterers from around the world.
The cyberpunk comic series Killtopia is my biggest hit, with over £120,000 raised on Kickstarter across five volumes, thousands of copies sold and multiple awards won.
Check out my comic book releases below for more information, page samples and online store to pick up a copy.
