100% Biodegradable Comic Collection: An action packed sci fi adventure comics anthology from creators around the globe.

100% Biodegradable Comic Collection #1

by David Hailwood, Paul Birch, Jim Alexander

"The kind of wonderful craziness we’ve come to demand of the creators involved" – John Freeman, Titan Magazines Editor.

Bursting forth from the minds of some of the most talented creators working in the UK comics industry today come 25 darkly humorous sci fi and horror tales that will slither deep into your subconscious, and build a nest in your brain.

In ‘Poor Taste’ by David Hailwood (Toxic, Strip Magazine) and Neill Cameron (Pirates Of Pangaea, Tamsin And The Dark) an outbreak of vampirism at a Chinese restaurant puts staff and customers alike on the menu. 

In ‘Sideburns’ by Jim Alexander (Heavy Metal, 2000ad) and Jon Haward (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Frank Frazetta Fantasy Illustrated) a hard-boiled private eye is faced with the difficult choice of sacrificing one life to save another…providing he can save his own skin first.

In ‘Spare Parts’ by David Hailwood and Tony Suleri (Slumdroid, Cosmogenesis) a grimy scavenger stumbles upon a corpse in the sewers, and immediately sets to work ensuring that no part of the body will go to waste.

In ‘First Impressions’ by Graeme Neil Reid (Commando, Judge Dredd Megazine) peaceful alien explorers land on Earth and attempt to make contact with its inhabitants. Just on slight snag – it’s 85,000,000 B.C. and dinosaurs rule the planet.

In ‘Expendable Eddie’ by David Hailwood and Neil Alexander (Futurequake, The Good Guys) a class of young biology students are treated to a visit from everyone’s favourite dissectible clone.

All this, and more awaits you inside the first 100% Biodegradable Comic Collection, which pulls together the best strips from issues 1 to 6 of the long running cult digital comic.

If you’re a fan of action packed twist in the tale stories, served up with lashings of wonderful carnage and mayhem, then this one’s for you.

About the author

David Hailwood used to write whilst hanging upside-down by his legs from a tree. Now he's an adult he's apparently not allowed to do that sort of thing any more, so instead he sits at home in his office, cackling manically at his computer (occasionally he remembers to switch it on).
​
With over 20 years experience of working in the UK comics market, his brain-matter has leaked onto the pages of numerous comic anthologies, including Egmont's Toxic, Strip magazine, Bulletproof, Accent UK, Futurequake, Violent and Meanwhile.

He's had comedy material broadcast on ITV and E4, been shortlisted for several BBC sitcom competitions, writes children's novels and edits the ‘100% Biodegradable’ comics anthology.
​
His debut children's novel 'The Last Of The Navel Navigators' was awarded a First as part of his Creative Writing MA at Chichester University.

Reviews

[Benjamin Uke · Rating 3 out of 5]

"A bi-monthly science fiction anthology from up and coming talent across the UK. Action! Suspense! Drama! Gigantic 50 foot tall guinea pigs! There's a little something for everyone."


3/5 Whimsy with nuclear hamsters and psychic cab drivers. Okay writing all around, but a good way for new comic artists to get published.

[Gerald Sessions · Rating 5 out of 5]

25 stories. A fantastic strange unusual collection. Take a normal story and turn it inside out, wonderful. A twisted mind is a terrible thing to waste— definitely not wasted here.

[Mark Bates · Rating 4 out of 5]

Collection of indie stories. Reminded me of high school days.

Finding 100% Biodegradable is like discovering a box full of comics in your attic when you were in your youth. A fun, enjoyable adventure in short-form comics. Highly recommended.

[Robert Kimberlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I totally enjoyed this collection. It had a wide variety of genres and different artists and writers. Most of the stories were fantastic. I am looking forward to the other four collections, which I have.
