Guide Dog Detective is in your extended network view more
About me: Guide Dog Detective is a gritty cop thriller starring a cast of animals! Inspired by the likes of TV shows such as The Shield, NYPD Blue and Oz; movies like Chopper and Chinatown and comics such as 100 Bullets, Guide Dog Detective uses as many cliches as it can while still delivering hard hitting action and engrossing storylines!
GDD is drawn by Jess Bradley, illustrator and comic shop worker (check out her MySpace below). Issue 3 is hopefully going to surface at some point during this year.
Nice things said about Guide Dog Detective: "Better than CSI." "An assured and well realised homage, enlivened by the all-animal cast." (Comics International). "I enjoyed Jess's artwork; it's cute." (Silver Bullet Comics). "The best book about detective animals I've ever read. And made my trip to Bristol worth it!" (Geoff Johns).
Who I'd like to meet: Small press comikers, artists, writers, lovers of cheesy and decent cop shows!

Thanks, glad you like my stuff. I got one of your comics ages ago from Andy Richmond at a convention in Brighton, really enjoyed it, reviewed it for CI. Can't remember what I wrote, but it was all good :)

The wind drifts gently over the plain.
As Fanelli and babies prepare for their game.
The mixture has tension, elasticity is right.
Bubble wand at hand; are we ready for flight?
Fanelli stands downwind, the babies stay up.
I hope its not too big or else it may pop.
