And so after three years of sitting in my screenshot folder collecting nothing but cyber dust comes a comic that is long over due.
I may have missed its dead line by a good few... years but I hope that this comic hasn't aged or degraded in terms of its quality and that It finds you in the best of spirits.

If not then I hope it goes a little way, no matter how small into changing that.

Here it is comrades, I present to you...

And there you have it, after three years it has finally seen the light of day!

Now for a little history for you.

This comic, or to be precise the screenshots that make it up where made for a contest for the site PHW where in members made a comic where they attempted to catch/kill the devil box who was the custom model of one of its more senior members. There had been numerous contests on the site prior to this two of which where started by me (only one got any entries :( ) so I decided to make a comic for this one having missed out on the other ones that had been done, so as to support the site and win me some swag!

However I never made it on time and in stead it sat in my screenshot folder. Waiting till the day I'd find time to make it, Since then however PHW has finally bit the dust so I my intentions to post it there as a last hurrah before formally walking away from there had come to naught.However rather than let it become forgotten I decided to remake it whilst I work on my British Gump come back comic.

But the issue was I forgot what the dialog was going to be and a lot of the jokes too, so I had to write it from scratch and try and build a comic out of a bunch of screen shots which where...

Not as easy to apply to my current style of comic making as I'd have liked them to be (hence why there is an arm in one of the panels and little else).

Some interesting facts:


  • There have been several hits as to the type of comic this is, as well as story points too. The Preview poster takes cues from this poster for the Film Kick-Ass. From that the eagle eyed could see that this could very well be about superheroes or super hero themed. Also on the Blog the poster has the caption devilinaboxasamanwithasandwichwatcheson. Which gave a slight clue to the setup of the story.

  • I lost the B skin at some point and as such when it came to making the poster I had to use another skin as a stand in for it. The Skin is from unmade horror/mystery comic which never got past the planning stage.

  • The reason why the citizens disappear is because I didn't save before quiting Gmod. I never noticed it till my first attempt to make it.


Anyway I hope you've all enjoyed it!

Enjoyed?

Yes?

Sorry, Chris, but all I see are two broken images and a crapload of text.

Why don't you merge both images and upload on the fancy new BDU blog? Wordpress's the best image hosting site available.

Okay, posing is indeed a bit, er, "old-school", but I loved the writing.

Remind me to take screenshots of Pulp Fiction and give them to you so you can write a new story for it!

It just dawned on me that the reason you go by your real name is because you can't come up with a cool moniker!

Oh I can, they always tend to be rather long (See: Super Rockin' Mr. Bizzle) or some way ridiculous (See: Chrisordie).
