Murderdrome Preview

More here.

Isn't That Quite Famous?

It has been officially announced that Steve is the colourist on Murderdrome.

This you may recall is the strip that hit the headlines last summer when Apple decided to ban it from their app store.

The script is by Al Ewing and the art by - who else? - PJ Holden.

The original version of Murderdrome was published a few years back in Solar Wind. It's available online and is basically great.

Given that so many comics are basically crap I reckon Steve's done pretty well to link up with PJ who in turn seems to be doing some really interesting work. PJs' latest is a Garth Ennis war story! I am a big fan of Mr Ewing's too, he's been doing Judge Dredds that kick ass.

Anyway, that's it from me for 2009. I'll be back in January with some updates relating to Walking Wounded #3.

Merry Xmas!

PJs

Another of Steve's colouring projects I can now talk about is Imago, a strip written by Leah Moore & John Reppion with artwork by PJ Holden.

Here's a sample page:



Lots more to see here.

Sadly, Imago was subsequently published in black and white, so Steve's pro colouring debut had to wait until Phonogram: The Singles Club issue 6.

Zarjaz

The new issue of Zarjaz (the 2000AD fanzine) was recently launched at BICS.

The rather lovely cover is by 2000AD's PJ Holden & our very own Steven Denton.

Steve also contributed the script for an 18-page Friday story, with art by the extremely talented Chris Askham, that appears in its entirety in this very comic. I would suggest you pop over to The Quaequam Blog and buy it now.

Still need some convincing? There's a preview here.

The Colour of Money

So Steve's colouring work is edging closer to the mainstream.

He's done a four-page strip illustrated by PJ Holden for Phonogram. Here's the first 25%:



Steve's also been getting the figurative crayons out for PJ's contribution to Interagents, which is a US-based web comic. Check out the art as well as PJ's take on the above here.

If you need a colourist and, you know, fancy paying, check out Steve's colouring blog.

Have You Ever Had It Blue?

Steve is a busy man. As well as being MFB's main artist, and regularly contributing artwork and scripts to FutureQuake Press, he's also been working as a colourist with 2000AD luminary P J Holden.

PJ has now blogged about this.

Here's a favourite of mine, a Rogue Trooper pinup they did together:



Oh and if that wasn't enough, Steve starts his new day job on Monday!
