A
Severed Head (published soon in Omnibus form!)
Into
The Undergrowth
Reborn into a New Dark Age, Bart Dickon, the ideologically-sound secret
agent, bursts once again onto a complacent world of mediocrity to
spread
High Adventure and Derring-do to those astute enough to read of his
doings.
Drawing on the Ancient Egyptian myths of Isis and Osiris, the bandes
desinée of Tintin, Jock and Snowy, the high drama of Dixon of
Dock Green and the heroic works of the Reverend W.
Audrey,
our protagonist spends most of this epic tale "in corporeal desuetude",
i.e. as a bodyless head. The Odyssey pursues him from procreation, via
birth,
schooldays and an Apprenticeship In The University Of Life (i.e.
dicking
about spending Daddy's money), to his ultimate vocation as 'The English
Assassin', pith helmet-wearing conqueror of something-or-other and
subversive
spy in a world of wickedness and intrepidity.
A remarkable, sustained comic strip saga featuring the enigmatic
protagonist,
Bart Dickon. First to appear in Talking
Turkey magazine and later
continued
in Sun Zoom Spark magazine
the ever-evolving story develops through
multiple
realities, gender-interchange and temporal fractures. You can

Severed Head by clicking on the banner above.
At last we're about to embark on a unique publishing project: the
production of the whole
piece as 'a proper book' at long last. Watch this space... (See also

Comix Archive for more material.)
Bart Dickon adventures appear in the quarterly magazine:
The Chap
(See Links section). This section has been
redesigned to reflect the
comic
strip as it now appears in that august organ. For details of this fine
publication, vist their website.
