One of my favourite cartoonists and recurrent HIVE contributor, Chris Mostyn is starting up on a new full length book! You have the chance to watch it progress through his new blog and see the process and new pages as they emerge. Seriously folks this is going to be an epic book. Keep an eye on this guy!

P.S. Look at all that beautiful heavy black!!!
