Abandoned Comics
Presents... London CLiNT!
Most of you have probably heard of Mark Millar's
"CLiNT" magazine and some of you might remember my previous review on
"Abandoned Comics" Mike Lynch, Martin Greene and Anthony O'Neill's
"Nestor" comic book. Well in CLiNT 2.6 which came out on Valentines
Day, Abandoned Comics very own Mike Lynch and Anthony O'Neill released an
amazing 5 page fan comic strip on a real life superhero who calls himself
"Clint" due to Mark Millar and his magazines influence, which we
learned of in the magazines 2.1 issue.
Based on a true story, set in London present day,
this strip follows Clint on his journey to the Titan publishing building aka
(Millar tower) where he scaled the 11 story buliding to get a letter to Mark
millar in time for print but on the way he runs into trouble when seeing an
elderly man being harrassed and mugged in a dark alley way.
Anthony is a huge fan of millar and his magazine,
so as soon as he learned of the masked vigilante Clint who is trained in MMA
and Parkour, Anthony's mind raced with the idea of bringing this real life
superhero back to its comic book routes and turning it into a strip. He then
got onto Abandoned comics writer Mike Lynch to take care of the specifics of
the sequentials.
Once the story was in place Mike and anthony put
all of their main in-house projects on hold, going out on a limb and making the
Clint project their main priority. The masterminds behind the piece had
absolutely no idea that any of the work they had done would ever see the light
of day, but fortunately for them the good people at Titan Magazines recognised
the greatness in this very small but imaginative concept. The magazines editors
decided that it was such a good piece that they have challenged the rest of the
public to try and better Anthony and Mike's effort by sending in your very own
CLiNt story.
This little work of art is beautifully
illustrated by Anthony and well written by Mike. Its a delightful and uplifting
hero piece that presents great mood and it gives you everything you would
expect from a short publication. This is a really big deal for Anthony and Mike
and the "Small press" Irish comic book scene.
