The launch event was held at Forbidden Planet in Edinburgh, featuring Jon Adam, Neil Scott, Mike Sedakat and myself. It was a triple-header with Treehouse 12, Jon's Terror from the Other Side, and Wow! Retracted.

DUNDEE SHMUNDEE #12

My twelfth Tay Bridge disaster strip is now online over at the Dundee Comics Creative Space website.

I liked the graphic look of these trains all lined up, but halfway through drawing the second one, I wanted everything to end.

WOW! RETRACTED at ALMOST NORMAL COMICS

Warren "Wee" Elliott has written on Wow! Retracted over at Almost Normal Comics.

Have a look here.

"Wow! Retracted https://buff.ly/2E2snHA is a 110-page, B&W / color, anthology created, written and drawn by David Robertson with guest artwork by Eileen Budd, Marc Casilli, Zu Dominiak, Damon Herd, Olivia Hicks, Rebecca Horner, Paddy Johnston, Tim Kelly, Neil Paterson, Ludi Price, and Pam Wye. Published by Fred Egg Comics.

In this large, perfect bound collection of comic stories David and friends deliver an assortment of stories that really cover a range of subjects. The collection starts off with a tale about survival that involves cannibalism and ends with a tale about an out of this world pesky insect! In between those two are all sorts of fun and interesting short stories that take the reader to alien planets, battles between giant monsters and robots, peeks into lives of cat owners, slice-of-life vignettes, and much more! There are just so many different types of stories gathered together here it’s almost impossible to mention them all! In addition to the variety of topics covered, the art styles also cover a tremendous breadth! Everything from cartoony to realism can be found in these pages. There’s even a page where photos are incorporated into the story! Color is also injected in various spots throughout the anthology giving it an even more dynamic look!

Get yourself wowed with Wow! Retracted at https://buff.ly/2E2snHA and find more at  http://www.fredeggcomics.com/ and http://fredeggcomics.blogspot.co.uk/ and https://www.facebook.com/david.robertson.18488169 and http://fredeggcomics.tumblr.com/ and on TWITTER @fredeggcomics"

WOW! RETRACTED at COMICS ANONYMOUS

Gary Watson has written on Wow! Retracted over at Comics Anonymous.

Have a read here.

"The latest release from David Robertson’s Fred Egg Comics sees him continue his art/writing duties although with help from some other artists this time too.

Wow! Retracted is an eclectic mix of stories as we’ve come to expect from David with an equal mix of funny, sombre & thought-provoking all rolled into a series of largely one-page stories.  There are a few longer stories in there too but the whole series has the definite Fred Egg feel to them.

David is joined on art duties for eleven of the stories by Eileen Budd, Marc Cassilli, Zu Dominiak, Damon Herd, Olivia Hicks, Rebecca Horner, Paddy Johnston, Tim Kelly, Neil Paterson, Ludi Price, and Pam Wye.  They all add their own flair to the story they are on and the while the art is simplistic in places it doesn’t detract from the powerful message that’s at the heart of the stories he has created.  In fact, the change of style actually helps bolster the collection as one of David’s best.

There is something for everybody in this but for me every story has it’s own worth – the laugh out loud moments and the reality check moments is a really smart blend of themes to pull off and I can see me re-reading this again soon.  Another Fred Egg success and I look forward to the next book too.

You can get hold of this latest book over on the Fred Egg Comics online store.  You can keep updated with what else David is working on over on his website and Blog as well as his Facebook, Twitter & Tumblr pages.
