Babbling all the way into Limbo…

As everyone is no doubt aware, stories have been circulating around the Internet about Insomnia Publications and them ceasing to, well, publish. Unfortunately, this isn’t as clear cut a situation as you’d expect and no one’s sure how quickly – or even if – it’s going to be resolved.

So, it is with a heavy heart that we have to formally announce Babble is being put into limbo for the foreseeable future.

Hopefully, things will be worked out one way or another and we’ll be able to back to work on Babble and get it out there on the shelves and into your hands. We’ve poured a lot of work into the project, and we’re desperately hoping that we don’t have to watch it be shelved forever. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your kind words and support for Babble. It means a lot to us that we had something people were genuinely looking forward to reading.

Never fear, though, because it’s not the last you’ve heard of us!

Coming soon[ish], we’ve got an appearance lined up for a future issue of Zarjaz, with a story called Broken Dreams, featuring a certain war robot…

Later this year, we’ll be appearing in Accent UK‘s 2010 anthology Predators, with a story called Just Like You. With kind permission from the Accent UK team, here’s a sneak preview of that strip…

We also have a slew of fresh projects in the pipeline that we’ll no doubt ram down your throats in a blaze of shameless self-publicity, both here (while we still have the hosting) and on our respective blogs.

Needless to say, as soon as we have any more information on the future of Babble, we’ll be shouting it from the rooftops. And posting it here.



Welcome…

Hello, and welcome to the official blog for Babble!

What is Babble, you ask? Well, it’s an original graphic novel by Lee Robson and Bryan Coyle that’s due to be published by Insomnia Publications. You can check out the Overview on the right of the screen to get an idea of what the book is all about, but over the next few weeks and months, we’ll be posting various and sundry items to whet your appetite and try and build a following for the books release.

In the meantime, you can check out some of the other work from myself, Lee, and Bryan in the Accent UK anthologies ROBOTS (Previews order code: MAR083379), WESTERN (Previews order code: JUN090671) and the upcoming PREDATORS (due for release in 2010):

There’s not really much more to add at this stage, so, for now remember to befriend us on MySpace and ComicSpace and follow our Twitter feed for updates and possibly even the odd exclusive item.

So, all that’s left now is to spread The Word…
