edit data

He's always had a fondness for different types of fantasy, having grown up on superhero cartoons, action and horror movies and anime. As he got older, he branched out, discovering more works in these and many other categories, including various forms of Hong Kong cinema, exploitation cinema, science fiction (especially cyberpunk and dystopian tales), various subgenres of horror, and what he considers the 'golden age' of action films, all of which have heavily influenced his imagination and writing/drawing style.

Alexander Engel-Hodgkinson's Blog: Way to Stay "In the Know"

Goodbye, 2023!

Hello, 2024. Last year was so busy, I forgot to update my blog here (LOL).

I fell behind on some projects. Work has been taking a lot out of me. I have, however, finally completed and published Death Under Candyland's Eye, though! It's now on Amazon in Kindle and paperback forms!

BRITTLE FIST has been pushed back to 2024. I'll be working on several projects throughout the year and will be keeping mo Read more of this blog post »

4.2/5 This new girl, Asa, is a bit interesting. Let's see where Fujimoto takes her story... Denji is still an idiot, but at least that's still mostly amusing. The art seems to have back-pedaled a bit, especially with some stiff character poses (those r ...more
