I do screen work, adult books, kids books and comic stuff, which gives me a pretty full plate. The problem is usually choosing which one I want to work on next. Chris Wooding Read Quote
We relate comics to the main super-heroes, but it’s a great medium through which all sorts of stories are told. Chris Wooding Read Quote
Malice’ wasn’t about horror to start with but an underground comic driven by the power of rumour. However, as nothing fuels a rumour like fear, I decided that it had to be a frightening comic. Chris Wooding Read Quote
