The Interactives artist announced
After lots and lots of deliberation I have decided that Argentinian artist Luciano Vecchio will be providing pencils and inks for new mini series “the interactives”. Here’s the kind of thing you can expect to see.
This page is set in St Nicholas Market, Bristol
The Interactives – Jun Joe Monares test page
The Interactives – Luciano Vecchio test page
This initial test page is a double page spread that appears on pages 2 and 3 of the first issue. Luciano pencilled and inked this sample. Enjoy!
The Interactives takes shape
One of the main reasons I haven’t been giving regular updates on the various books I am working on is because I have been busy working on a new series. It is based in the UK and focuses on a group of cyber geeks, think Primaevel meets Quantum Leap…kind of.
Over the last month or so seven artists submitted test pages and I have now narrowed my selection to two, Argentinian Luciano Vecchio (Sentinels,Cruel Thing) and Jun Joe Monares (Salamandra, Helldorado, Honor of the Damned) from the Phillipines. They are both currently working on a second test page before I make a final choice. It’s going to be a very hard decision as I love both their work. Whichever artist I go with will be joined on the project by Orang Utan Comics’ own multi talented colourist Yel Zamor.
Thunder Thunder Azim Akberali Ho!
My long time collaborator and friend Azim Akberali painted these Thundercats images just for fun. I’d love to see him working on a Thundercats book one day and on this evidence it would look amazing.
Valhalla
I am working on a viking tale (7 years in the making, so not jumping on the norse bandwagon) with artist Simon Wyatt called Valhalla: Hall of Heroes. Here is one of the pages from the 5 page prequel which will be appearing in FTL#3 from Orang Utan Comics. A mini series will follow.

Greetings and Salutations!
Hi there and welcome to my new blog. I’m Peter Rogers a British comic writer, you may know me from my contributions to the anthology series Eleventh Hour from Orang Utan Comics Studio and AAM/Markosia. Or you may not know me at all…
Anyway I thought it was high time that I had a place to talk about my comics writing and nothing else (no movies I’ve seen, photos I’ve taken, or songs I think you should hear) and this seemed like the perfect place to start. I aim to post at least once a week to let you know what I’m up to and to help keep me focussed .
I am currently working on a number of creator owned mini series which are in various stages of development.
Forgotten Planet – sci fi with artist Azim Akberali.
Slam Ridley – sci fi with co-creator Ian Sharman and artist Craig Yeung.
Valhalla – viking tale with artist Simon Wyatt.
5th Outlaw – modern day Western with artist J.C Grande.
Fifteen Minute Heroes – superheroes, artist TBA.
Night Shift – superheroes, artist TBA.
More on each of these very soon….
