Why isn’t the comic still called Scary Go Round?
I get asked this all the time. Why isn’t Giant Days called Scary Go Round? Why isn’t Bad Machinery called Scary Go Round? It’s on the same URL. There are characters in common.
The answer is really easy. It’s the same reason that a bank robber changes his name when he runs away to Brazil. So people won’t keep asking him questions about what he did back when he robbed banks. It’s a line in the sand. Also, I robbed a load of banks.
It’s still on the same URL because I don’t believe you should ever give people a jumping-off point. Disappearing from their bookmarks is a pretty easy way to lose a load of lazy dudes.
Some weird Elseworlds Giant Days, can you spot the difference?

New Scary Go Round book
I have a new book in my shop, why not recommend it to your friends? I promise that every page has been ferociously toiled over. And it looks pretty nice! You can get it on its own or in a cut-price combo pack with my other short books.
Your efforts in the “promotional drive” are gratefully received.
I finally ran out of Shelley stickers so I designed a new one, but I’m not sure it’s… decent.
In 2009 and 2010 I made a couple of Erin Winters minicomics to include with book pre-orders.
After about 20 enquiries over the last week, I’ll be running Erin Winters & The Bone Throne/Great Fiery Elevator this Friday and next. I’ve coloured them and tidied them up for general consumption, and I hope you enjoy them!
The THAT book is almost done, two pages to colour and a bit of layout. Here’s the cover.
Another classic pairing from the middle nineties, Erin & The Boy. Pencil & Photoshop again, rendered at speed.
Three classic characters. Quick pencil sketch coloured in Photoshop.
