TROUBLE BRUIN: AFTERWORD

Thanks for reading Trouble Bruin. This is my fourth full-length graphic novella, my third in two years, and I'm just as proud of it as I am of my Hondle trilogy.

Bruin is the second book that I've produced by the traditional plot-pencils-inks-dialogue method, but to my mind, it is far more accomplished than this summer's Experihondle:02. I hope you'll agree that this slight increase in technical proficiency has not affected the energy of the story.

Bruin will likely be my last extended story for a while. I've spent most of 2006 drawing my own comics – just over 100 pages worth, in fact – and I need to refocus my energies towards writing comics for other artists to illustrate, as that is where my real skills lie.

But don't think that I've given up the bingo markers just yet. There'll be more short strips appearing on the site in due course.

But, for now, let me just say thanks for reading (again) – especially if you bought the novella at the Birmingham Comics Show, or are planning on buying the book through the website. Enjoy the rest of the site. And I'll see you in the New Year.

Matthew Craig, Hondletown, December 2007.
