The Death Warrant - new old Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan story.

The Death Warrant cover detail showing Tamlin and Opportunitas
The project to bring the pre-web Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan stories online continues with The Death Warrant from 1993.
In The Death Warrant, Tamlin and his gang intercept the King's Death Warrant for their most dangerous competitor, Barnardus Pothelmus. When the courier who was carrying the documents escapes them, they are faced with a dilemma: should they deliver it themselves and risk capture, or miss the opportunity to get rid of their enemy? What they don't know is that the hanging, if it happens, will be the scene of a plot against the King.

The Death Warrant is black and white, and after 13 years, its faults are painfully clear to me. But on the other hand, it's fast-paced and joyful. There are a lot of laughs in it, with many fun characters and puns that can kill cattle at a hundred paces.

Speed colouring madness.No matter how much I've been ragging on Opera these past few months...

  • Doe Maar, July 12, 2008

But did they have anything to a ...

    Here's where the comics are at right now: Feral: Chugging along nicely.

The fact that Aggie's drawing it is helping me focus on the writing as well. As in do ...
