It's been a week of new arrivals! First onboard was Graham Manley, a comic artist known for his work on Near Myths, Dice Man and his contributions to the Judge Dredd Megazine. Dave Barras and I met up with him at Deadhead before heading up to The Elephant House for a chat and a cuppa. The Elephant House is famous for having been one of the places that JK Rowling hung out while she wrote the first Harry Potter book, which is perhaps why our chat with Graham ranged from the juvenile to the fantastic, but we all had a lot of fun and so persuaded him to join the team and do some sketches for the Electric Man backstory (something which will form the basis of a VERY limited edition comic, and crucially, the opening titles sequence for the film). Graham showed us a few examples of his artwork, including some great fantasy comic book covers he'd drawn for the Dandy Annual and we showed him the draft comic script that tells the story of how Electric Man came to be the superhero you will all soon know and love! This bit of plot is top secret - if I told ya I'd have to zap ya - unless of course you want to sign up for one of our great sponsorship packages and help get this movie made.
The second new arrival was a week early... baby Navena Mackay! Congratulations to Scott (co-writer) and Morgane.
