One of the greatest privileges of working on Star Wars has been collaborating with Iain McCaig. To celebrate the publication of Star Wars: Galactic Tales of Terror, I’ve just shared a collection of Iain’s original Nightlander concepts. Plus, the unlikely story of how it all began with a mistake!

My intent was to parody the trend of making everything grimdark for grimdark's sake (and the belief that grimdark = more sales) That's what the fictional 'me' believed, thinking Gwenpool was silly, a view which the real me 100% does not share.

Happy Mabon! It's the autumn equinox, which means we're heading into the final quarter of the year. The next few months have a habit of disappearing faster than we expect. Before they do, I like to take a moment to check where my creative energy is actually going. #autumnequinox #journalling

AMAZING trip to Sutton Hoo at the weekend. I've always wanted to go there, and it couldn't have been better — especially the fantastic guided tour around the burial mounds. I’ve written up a few thoughts over on my blog — www.cavletter.com/a-visit-to-s...

One of the biggest lessons for a writer: Never throw ideas away. My horror comic SHADOW SERVICE began as a supernatural spy concept I came up with as a teen and kept returning to for years before it finally found the right form. You can read more about it here: www.cavletter.com/focus-on-sha...

Sneaky little mention of our MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: GENESIS arc in Cav's newsletter. It's been the biggest buzz charting the adventures of Captain Duncan and Young Randor, and It's some of my strongest work. (You'd hope!) Pick it up in December. And yum, that Mark Buckingham cover...!

New painting project commenced. The Harpies Lament — the ship from our latest campaign. Haven’t done any paintings for ages, which has really got me down. Wanted to do something but am pretty low on energy today so thought detailed work might not be a good idea, so decking it is!

A colourful chill isometric drawing. hand drawn and coloured. Optimus is chilling, sitting behind a barn in a farmland. looking at the birds that just landed on his arm. It’s a nice summer sunset.

New project, new notebook. Trying out the Stálogy 016 Note Book for my general project notes. Smooth, ever-so-slightly satiny paper that copes pretty well with fountain pens. Only a little bleed-through depending on the pen and ink. I can’t show you inside the covers because SECRETS! #notebooks

This was a LOT of fun. I admit it. I bought BORED GAY WEREWOLF for the title alone and in my year of trying not to buy new books and reading my shelf, absolutely loved it. Plenty of laughs. A hot mess at its centre. Big feels. A cosy monster mash full of heart. Nicely played, Tony Santorella.

Richard Osman irked me on The Rest Is Entertainment this morning. He got sniffy about the term ‘Cosy Crime’, saying it’s a reductive label for the genre he works in, presumably as he feels that his books — which I’ve really enjoyed — are ‘more than that.’ (1/5)
