BETTY ‘THE SLAYER’ MITCHELL… AVAILABLE NOW!!!

Posted on by

Hey guys,

Technically it’s been available for a couple of weeks now but I am only just getting round to updating my website.

We have a few reviews on Comixology already and are rated 5/5 at FIVE STARS, super happy with that.

We have also had some great reviews on the below websites, feel free to click the link and have a read.

Omnicomic

“Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell #1 is anachronistic in a way that offers readers a glimpse at a new character fighting known entities.”

Thefellowshipofthegeeks

“She’s a great character, and this is issue 1 of 5, so we can look forward to much more from her in the coming months. Now’s the time to get on board.”

Thedreamcage

“So, all in all, a good start to what could become a fun series of comics.”

Readingwithaflightring

“Proof positive that Markosia is home to some fine storytelling.”

Indievolt

“Making Betty “the Slayer” Mitchell a High Voltage book. But as always you don’t have to take my word for it, you can pick up your copy on Comixology.”

Indietoaster

“I enjoyed reading through Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell and would love to read more.”

We also got a fantastic review from the guys at THE AWESOME COMICS PODCAST who said the awesome line.

“It’s like a cross between Buffy the vampire slayer and Penny dreadful and to be honest, if you said there was a comic or show like that I would think it would be fucking great.”

Listen to it here!

If you haven’t already purchased to read please do so as I think you will really like it, it is available from ComiXology at the following link.

Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell #1

A spate of grisly murders leads to a desperate plea for help from renowned monster hunter Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell. This one is personal though, when she finds out that the brutal killer is none other than Spring-Heeled Jack. It was he that attacked Betty previously and led her to the path that she is now on, hunting down monsters of legend, and she wants some closure!

PURCHASE HERE!!!!

Once all five issues are out digitally, the book with become a physical entity which will be available through all major book distributors.

Here is a look at the first pages to see if I can entice you into wanting more.

Want to say how unbelievably happy I am with the artist Ka De Oki who has been PHENOMENAL, he is actually pencilling page 4 of issue #4 at the time being and the colourist Tiko Capdevila who is putting out some crazy good pages (wait till you see the flashback scenes).

Will let you know when issue #2 is available.

Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell Coming Soon to Markosia

Posted on by

IT HAS BEEN WAAAAAAAAAAY TOO LONG!!

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the distance between last post and this, I’ve been really busy working on a few projects and I am about to start sharing all the news with you now.

Please do expect regular updates from now on as I am back in the flow of things and finally getting my workflow in order.

Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell.
I have spoken about this a little HERE but that was before we even finished the pitch, but not only have we got a publisher but we are nearly finished issue #1 and should HOPEFULLY have it out to you before the end of the year.


The publisher we are going with is MARKOSIA, who are a British comic book publishing company who have had book published from the likes of Tony Lee (X-Men Unlimited, Spider-Man Family, Doctor Who), Fiona Staples (Saga, Archie, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents) and Ryan Stegman (Incredible Hulk, X-23, Fantastic Four, Wolverine, Inhuman) to name just a few so we are SUPER happy to be going with them.

Cover of Issue #1

Betty became a monster hunter after an attack on her by Spring Heeled Jack when she was a young girl. She has trained to make sure these incidents don’t happen again.

When she receives a letter to her London home stating he is back and reeking savage again, she has only one option… to seek revenge.

This is a 5 issue story that is written and lettered by me, has the art by Ka De Oki with colouring by Tiko Capdevilla.

The 5 issues will be available initially through digital download and then after the release of issue 5 they will be put together for print and sold in hardcopy as a trade paperback 😀

“Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell” a Comic by Alex Giles & Ka De Oki

Hey Guys,

Time to share another pitch I am working on and its moving pretty fast which is awesome 🙂

This book is called “Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell”

I am super lucky to be working with the great artist Ka De Oki who is also the artist for our other project ‘Last of the Unliving’ which I am co-writing with Lou Frontier.

This story that Ka and I are doing is about a monster hunter called Miss Elizabeth Mitchell who is a total bad ass beast slayer based in the Victorian Era of the 1800’s known as ‘The Slayer’.

The pitch features ‘Spring-Heeled jack’ who is brutally murdering the women of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Miss Elizabeth Mitchell the monster slayer gets a letter to come and help, this is when the hunt for Jack begins.

Super excited about this project and look at some of the earlier character designs for Spring-Heeled Jack by Ka and a little snippet of some pencils for page 1 😀

We should realistically have this done in a few months and then will get the pitching package made up.
