A while back Dave Pitman asked me to take some photos of New Zealand’s Overlander train for a comicbook he was putting together.
Today I had the pleasure of finding out exactly what he’d done with them…
Tales From The Flat is quite a quick read, during which not very much happens, but a long complex twisting plot is just not this cookie's agenda. What it does set out to capture, and joyously so, is the pure fun of playing a computer game. That’s it – if I go into any more detail, I’ll just complicate things.
If you’ve ever vegged in front of a Playstation far too late into the night, then this is probably the comic for you. Perhaps I’m biased because I know the guy, but Dave really gets the gaming psychology spot-on and, for me at any rate, the result was 26 pages of recognising many long hours of my own life, and feeling pretty good about it.
Email Dave at D_TypeArt@outgun.com and ask how you can get him to send you a copy. Go on – you’ll need something to read during all those load screens this weekend…

how strange. i too draw a comic here in the uk called tales from the flat. they seem vaguely similar, even a couple of the characters look the same. what a bizarre coincidence.
looks great tho!

Crazy - I'll have to pick up a copy next time I'm back in that hemisphere...!
