Steve McManus talks Blazer 4

Ben Cullis has announced that THE77 PUBLICATIONS next Kickstarter campaign will be to fund issue four of indie anthology title Blazer! It comes to kickstarter soon.



Created by Steve MacManus as a love letter to the British weekly comics of his youth, Blazer! has found a loyal audience amongst fans with similar, nostalgic memories of anthology titles where every issue ended with a flurry of cliff-hangers, not to mention the publisher’s promise of a free gift that would supposedly deliver an ear-shattering ‘Bang!’ with which to taunt teacher. Replicating the format of a regular British weekly of yesteryear, Blazer! number four will be 32-pages with four pages in colour. The Kickstarter itself will be launching soon, in the meantime, meet the Blazer! Hot Shots and their searing strips!
