At the beginning of November I published 100 copies of Pedal Angel, a 17 page photocopied comic about a bike race. I had set it as a bit of a challenge for myself, I hadn’t made much artwork since starting a new job in July and I had the Thought Bubble comic festival coming up where I had booked a table. I fancied making something that wasn’t violent or full of profanity, something that could be sold to kids. I’d started cycling virtually every day since starting work and it something I’m passionate about. I love existing in a world between cars and pedestrians, cutting between them through the streets, back roads and parks. I had about a month until the Thought Bubble convention and had already scrapped a few ideas that had grown into epic plans for massive stories that will span hundreds of comics, a route that a lot of my ideas take which would be nice if only I had the time or money. Nope, I had a month or so and a comic about a bike race seemed something I could keep small. I started planning it and halfway through the story I realised I had too many characters in the race. I took it down from 6 to 4 and started again. It took up most of my free time but I had finally finished writing, drawing and printing my first decent comic since my first year of uni. I sold a few copies at Thought Bubble and a few to my workmates but haven’t had many chances to push it elsewhere. After 3 months I’ve finally put it up on the internet, so here it is.
