Following the events on Neo Olympus and the Boarman invasion of Earth, many heroes and crime-fighters have withdrawn from activity. Some are trying to recover from injuries while others are fighting the mental scars left by the events.

But things have to go on.  As heroes from other parallels who helped during the recent events return home, members of the Special Globe Guard are shocked at the sudden appearance of Zom of the Zodiac. Never a sign of good things a-coming!

Very soon, a group of heroes mount a rescue mission and find that a quick rescue mission can turn sour equally quickly. As they overcome one challenge the the heroes become lost between parallel Earths and face new threats.

 Sometimes one Earth just is not enough. The complete story published in issues 7-10 of Black Tower Adventure now in...one handy dandy book!

No 2026 Events

 

 Over the last 10 years (I have really narrowed the time period down) I have had a 100% success rate in having my application for a table at a UK comic/Small Press event turned down. Seriously. 

Here is the funny part:the organisers would "appreciate" my publicising their event. Am I going to?   No.

That is the third "Thank you for applying within minutes of us announcing the event but...no"in 2026.

It's rather like the people who want me to push their publications but they "just don't have the time" to read or publicise my publications.

I will tell you who will get a table at each of the events; the same boring bunch of retired comic "personalities in their own lunchtime" and friends or friends of friends.

I really would like to get to a European (German?) event in 2027 because 2026 is going by too fast. 

What Does "Premium Printing" Mean and Why Do I Use It?

 

 I was asked what I meant in a previous post when I  wrote that I choose Premium Printing for my books.

You can have a book printed on a standard paper and with standard printing. It's a basic look and the quality can vary. I choose white paper stock and premium ink which means the black and white art is crisp and clean -the quality is far better than the original artwork.

The reason why I made this choice is simple. Old fashioned as it may be, I think that if someone is going to spend their money on one of your books then they deserve the best printing you can give them. That simple.

Black Tower Super Heroes The Ultimate Game

 

A rather  heavy book envelope arrived today and I thought "this is going to take a while to read and review!" but on opening I found it was MY book.  The fact that I always opt for premier paper and printing really pays off  But the book is done so I will only ever check it for back issue referencing.  Cover came out far better than I expected!

 The mystical traveller of the realms, The Thinker, meets a stranger while travelling along the Path of Counter Actuality. But this stranger is a different type of traveller: he is Illuyanka and he has been charged with on sworn duty –to destroy specific Earths in the multiverse.

Finding that Illuyanka is partial to gambling the Thinker risks all by challenging him to a cosmic game pitting heroes against various challenges: they lose then their Earth dies. The Thinker has no doubt that with all of his knowledge he can win. But Illuyanka is not what he seems.

A story that throws in as many super heroes and villains as you could ever want plus an Earths parallel crossing storyline that will have you wondering who the real bad guy is!

   Although there are some classic cases in these books the majority involve cases that are very rare, have never appeared in English before and unlike most "clump everything together to fill a book" efforts these look at aspects of cases as well as some very common but not reported on before entity and scenario types.

Someone who has been involved in Ufology since the 1980s noted: "Over half these cases I have never heard of before!"

Since 1947 it has been claimed that UFOs/flying saucers are evidence of aliens visiting the Earth.  Since the 1950s claims of encounters with landed craft and alien beings were talked about but not taken seriously.

In the 1960s the subject of UFO abduction was a "slow-burner" until the whole "Grey" abduction phenomenon and claims made by researchers such as Budd Hopkins, Prof. John Mack and Dr David Jacobs and Whitley Streiber.

But is there evidence to back up any of the claims -and what about those encountering Alien Entities but who were not abducted?

Are these people all hoaxers, psychotic or suffering from some other mental illness as some claim?

Are those people who were exposed by Ufologists against their wishes, people who wanted to report what happened and then just get back to their everyday lives -thrust into the media glare against their will?

And if US authorities were so interested that in one case at least they broke into the home of two abductees and this was later proven -why?

Why did a hard core of these people never want publicity or to make money from what happened to them?

Above all, why did a major UFO landing incident take place on a US Inbterstate road in front of a large number of observers (all willing to talk to investigators) never get investigated? If it were not for a radio presenter interviewing and taking notes we would know nothing of the case -it would be labelled "insubstantial".

James and Coral Lorenzen -the Scopolamine Kids; using a very notorious "truth drug" on alleged UFO witnesses and selling stories to newspapers.  An investigator (a veteran) showing a witness images of "aliens" encountered in other cases before any memories were retrieved.  Worst of all, the constant "pissing competition" and breaches of trust between UFO investigators.

Fully illustrated with drawings, maps and photographs some very rare or previously unpublished.

Praised by Dr Mark Rodheiger of the Centre for UFO Studies and, below, John Hanson of the Haunted Skies Project and Colonel Charles Halt the officer involved in the Rendlesham incident.

The Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) says that we may have to wait many thousands of years before any signals sent gets a response if they are detected.

The real SETI may already have established the there is alien life –and it has been visiting Earth for at least 70 years.

Once the mass of reports of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and entity encounters are sifted there remains a strong core of cases that defy logical explanation and suggest that these encounters have resulted in physiological effects and post traumatic stress.

Terry Hooper-Scharf of the CE3K/AE Project has led research into these reports for over 40 years and in this work takes a look at rare or obscure reports as well as cataloguing encounters from Germany and Portugal and focuses in on correlations in the reports and how the Dandenong (Kelly Cahill) encounter could be the best case ever reported.

Have the serious investigators and researchers looking into UFOs been unearthing better evidence of extra terrestrial life and contact with humans than established SETI ?

There have been many claims of UFO landings and encounters with alien entities since 1947 and while some such as that of Betty and Barney Hill and Travis Walton may be well known they were not the first and certainly not the best incidents. Encounter claims are a world wide phenomenon and not confined to the United States. After 50 years of the CE3K/Alien Entity Study, For this fifth book looking at CE3K/AE reports Terry Hooper has chosen some of the best and least known reports as well as some that might be known but adding much detail; Aveley, Ewloe, Kingfield and others deserve to be better known as does the case of Elsie Oakensen, Bronte Lloyd, Chapters include:

The Jose C. Higgins Close Encounter 1947

The 1973 Onilson Patero UFO encounter/Abduction Case

If you want to read factual, researched accounts rather than fiction then this book will educate you on these contacts -many ignored by Ufology, mishandled or plain ignored.

The Ultimate Game -Cover

  I started this at 1100hrs this morning and had various cover designs worked out but one thing after another led to them being thrown away.

Here are the three cover designs I went with..

This one (above)  I did not like "The Ultimate Game" font. Really not happy with it.

The above has a bold and brassy font BUT it just did not seem  right -I tried 40 different fonts with cover 1 and this one. Almost gave up.

The cover below will be the final one. Not what I wanted but "The Ultimate Game" font seems to work. I am NOT a cover artist but with a small company now having everything done by one man (me) it simply has to do.

The storyline:

The mystical traveller of the realms, The Thinker, meets a stranger while

travelling along the Path of Counter Actuality. But this stranger is a different type of traveller: he is Illuyanka and he has been charged with on sworn duty –to destroy specific Earths in the multiverse.

 

Finding that Illuyanka is partial to gambling the Thinker risks all by challenging him to a cosmic game pitting heroes against various challenges: they lose then their Earth dies.

 

The Thinker has no doubt that with all of his knowledge he can win.

 

But Illuyanka is not what he seems.

Shock horror. The new PC did not turn up/, however, with the cranky old PC (older than the one that died on me) I have just finished lettering and cleaning 182pp of The Ultimate Game. It's in a core file on TWO USBs as I type.  

By pure accident I was looking through the file holding the hard copy D-Gruppe pages and shocked myself. In 2013 Mr Ben Dilworth was working on some D-Gruppe pages that revolved around The Ultimate Game. I had to double check that I was not hallucinating and that means there will be some extras in the book.  

 If you have boxes or folders full of art you will get the occasional surprise!

And while I ink some pencil pages for something else, here's a heads up for the next one!

The Ultimate Game Progress

 Went on an all day lettering/page clean up spree yesterday so added more finished pages to The Ultimate Game source file.

One thing about pulling together pages from the 1990s-2025 is how I can totally ignore the original text and make the pages even better and add better dialogue. This is the one thing I find a computer good for since my hands are not capable of lettering.

As with all new projects the pages will be destroyed after the source file is uploaded.
