OUT TODAY!!! Order HEAD LOPPER here:
http://andrewmaclean.storenvy.com/
A little about the project:
When I set out to write/draw Head Lopper, I had to decide what it was that I wanted to highlight about a “barbarian” story. One of the major things was setting.
Until HEAD LOPPER, the books I had worked on were set in “unnatural” places. Be it urban or science-fiction, I had drawn NO nature. I really wanted to draw some lines that were NOT straight.
This story takes place on the Island of Barra, and issue one takes place in the town of Castlebay. A very real place. I chose this place so I could spend research time looking at real Scottish landscapes and castles. Such fun stuff to draw. But I didn’t want the entire story to be on rocky shores, so here is a page where we get to see a mirky bog.
Now it should be mentioned, I make no attempt to make this accurate, be it geographically or historically. It’s just a mush of stuff I think is cool, and thus, pure fiction
Hope you enjoy! -AM

Quote reblogged from D3.1415926there would be several distributers of printed comics in the United States. I’d see comics magazines in bodegas, corner stores and drugstores. There would be an even greater proliferation of Japanese and European works available. There would be residency exchanges between countries for auteurs of the medium. There would be grants and residencies for artists working in the medium.
I’d see comic book artists on Charlie Rose. People of note would casually recall something they’d read in a recent issue of a comic book. Popular comics would regularly be a theatre for the discussion of contemporary issues via direct and indirect methods. I’d see comics criticism in comics themselves.
I’d like to see more copyright infringement without repercussions. Smart remixes that question the validity of the ideas in the original materials, new works that masterfully criticize old tropes.
Less conservative approaches to the format of comics. Less comics dogma.
There’d be a desegregation of genre comics, superhero comics, “comix” and art comix.
I’d see more artists wielding the medium as fine art and fewer fine artists mining comics’ aesthetics and culture to prop up weak, derivative work.
The footprint of Marvel and DC Comics on the American comic book shelves would be one weekly jumbo, Manga-like book, respectively; one large book would drop weekly, collecting several stories relative to their tent-pole story arcs (X-whatever book on the first week, Avengers book the next week, etc., respectively), and the narratives would be collected and colored at the end of their runs. The rest of the shelf real estate would be a diverse curation of mostly non-superhero works.
There would be a serious attempt to reach out to people of color. I’d see Fantagraphics publishing “my boring life” works from people of color. I’d see more non-white and non-cisgender comic book editors. I’d see comics left in cafés and subway benches, rolled up in the back pockets of thirteen-year-olds.Ronald Wimberly’s vision of the comics industry (via swrd-play) -

“‘Kindness’ covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”
