Condom in your Christmas Cracker

Don’t ya just hate January! The party’s over and the booze is dry. All the little elves are back in their dungeons for another year. It’s just so damn GREY it’s like Margaret Thatcher’s sex-life.

To blast away the winter blues, for your consideration, a little spot of colour from us, the Kittelbach pirates:

Chew on these end of year reviews -thanks to Laura Sneddon for naming Raygun Roads her Indie/Alt book of 2014, P.M. Buchan for calling Owen Michael Johnson a son of a bitch in Starburst issue 396 (‘that son of a bitch sent me an ashcan edition preview of his psychedelic opus Raygun Roads earlier in the year, which was something pretty special (…) this is punk rock as superhero narrative, art as escapism and self expression as a weapon’), and Robin & Taylor from the Orbiting Pod for calling our comic ‘ugly and it knows it‘. That shit is going right on the 2nd print.

Raygun also stars in John Lees’ Character Showcase – you a diamond john!

Thanks for sticking by us, champions. May your 2014 be as violent and exciting as Miles Motors’ guest slot with Atari Teenage Riot:

Art is the Weapon Competition: GRAND PRIZE!!!

The grand prize winner of the Art is the Weapon Competition is so awarded because it perfectly encapsulates the spirit of The Kittelbach Pirates.

It’s scrappy. It’s messy. It’s not perfect but it’s got an energy that no amount of polish can replicate.

Teenage filmmaker Matthew Edwards of Calthwaite has crafted a maniac masterpiece.

It’s inventive. It’s DIY. It’s PUNK. Edwards, welcome to The Pirates, you jammy salami! Enjoy the comic, the signed copy of the script, the Andrew Tunney print and the original art we will soon be sending your way …

The rest of you, bask in the radiance!!!

Art is the Weapon Competition: 2ND PLACE!

The Rat Race to pole position was so close we’ve decided to boost the 2nd place prize! As well as the comic, a signed copy of the script and the Andrew Tunney print, we’re throwing in an original Laughing Indio t-shirt designed by our very own scribbler INDIO.

We dig this like a Normandy trench! Immaculate skills, psychedelic colours…AND A RAINBOW BRIDGE OF ASGARD!

Congratulations, Martin Juaristi from Bilbao, you unruly tyke!

Art is the Weapon Competition: 3RD PLACE!

This collage (see? we can be classy when we fucking well choose to be) came in from Anonymous (read: a homicidal maniac). Blinding signed portrait of Pryde and Punch (and is that Pashun down there?) lurking all creepy-like. Dave McKean in the skin of this one. Excellent work, Anonymous, you disturbed weirdo. We love your artings.

STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS TO FIND OUT WHO SNATCHED THE TOP SPOTS!
