...'The Fat Man' graphic novel project has a brand new web site which features a massive 50 page preview of the forthcoming book.

...25% of the profits from this fabulous book will be going to a mental health charity and we are only 900 orders away from breaking even. NOT BAD considering there has been almost no publicity and it doesn't come out for another 8 months. Please help the book along by passing this message along to your friends and mailing list.

Take a hand full of artists, give them the freedom of expression, add a sprinkling of order and hopefully what you'll get is a fun and experimental exchange of ideas made real in the form of a comic.

That's the plan.

A "Round Robin" is a game where one person starts a story and then others continue it by adding a piece at a time until the tale is complete.
Our version involves seven British comics creators. Between us we will make a comic book, a panel at a time. Our page grid is divided into three tiers. Each person adds a tier to the ongoing story, which can be as many panels as they can fit into that tier. Nobody knows where the story will go but there is one element that remains fixed: It is a murder mystery. So whatever happens along the way, we know where it has to end. A solution must be found! Who killed Round Robin?
