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.

Bulwark by Alex Giles and Gabriel Fix

Posted on by

Time for another update.

Since the end of 2017 I have been working on LOADS of stuff as I am determined to have a bunch of great stuff out come the end of 2018 and into 2019 and one of these projects I have high hopes for is a story called ‘Bulwark’.

This is an action adventure with touches of mysticism and magic, imagine if you take Monkey Magic, The Goonies, Guren Lagann and Stand by Me and wrap them in a ball, and turn them into one story, that is what is going on here.

Gabriel is a phenomenal artist who Is prevalent in many different art styles and I have really lucked out getting to work with him.

Here is some images of the character designs along with a work in progress of our main protagonist Yori.

Please give him a like on Facebook HERE and a follow at his Instagram HERE.

Posted on by

And too another project, well, an old project revisited.

This is a story called ‘Looming Arrival’, it has been one I have been trying to get made for YEARS but for some reason of another hasn’t quite made it… UNTILL NOW.

Looming Arrival is based around the three main characters Mark, Mitzi and Shannon.

They are best friends and have worked together at the Goodwillie Freak show for years .

Mark is from a fictional small village in the Highlands and Islands called Hlayl where the three of them head to for a little break so Mark can collect some small keepsakes from his auntie’s his house.

When they get to the isle it starts to be attacked by some Scottish mythical creatures.

This will be drawn by the PHENOMINAL Carlos Angeli.

Will share more in the coming months.

Here is the three main characters and a little look at the Kelpies as well 🙂

Mirrors Echo by Alex Giles and Nila Nandita

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

So I have decided to tell you about a Manga/Comic I am doing called ‘Mirrors Echo’.

I was going to hold off for a while before mentioning but I can’t help myself so here is a little teaser.

It’s about a boy who is Autistic and also suffers from Tourette’s, on his 18th birthday something happens that leads him and his uncle on an adventure in an alternate world.

Will share more about project and some bits of art with you in the future but for now here is the two main characters.

This is Orson and his Uncle Bert.

The characters concept designs were designed by my friend, the BRILLIANT Jennifer Epton and they have been taken by the BRILLIANT artist to use in her style Nila Nandita.

You have heard me talking about Jennifer before as we worked on ‘Snoozdini’ Manga short together but let me tell you about Nila.

I saw some of Nila’s work on a different project and thought it was amazing and reached out to tell her how good I thought it was, now a few months later here we are.

Couldn’t be happier to have her on board for this project and here is a few bits and pieces of work she has done previously.

Looking forward to sharing more soon with you.

Alex

P.S. Will have an update on Betty ‘The Slayer’ Mitchell later on in the week.

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

Posted on by

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.

Spring-Heeled Jack character design by Ka.

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 😀

13405644_1047973508606558_458677336_o

Will share more about the project when I can 😉

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

‘Ella’ The Comic Book by Alex Giles & Ammar Al-Chalabi

Posted on by

Hey guys, it’s time for another update on ANOTHER project that I have not spoken about yet in which I am the writer and letter for called ‘Ella’.

I am collaborating with an amazingly talented artists called Ammar Al-Chalabi who is based in Holland.

He is the artist and co-creator of the hugely popular web series ‘Wart’ which I recommend you to check out HERE.

Here is a character design for Ella from our story ‘Ella’ that he has done which is PERFECT 😀

13115388_1060492840688437_852922422_n

She literally looks EXACTLY like i pictured in my head.

Our story ‘Ella’ actually originated as a four page short I wrote last year but it never got round to being made.

I really loved the story and had so many ideas that I wanted to input into the story as well as make the original four pages a bit more spread out so the art could breathe more.

It’s an all age story about a young girl Ella who discovers a family secret that changers her life and making her more special and important than she could ever have believed.

It’s an adventure and discovery story with some anthropomorphic animal’s in a comic the whole family can enjoy 🙂

I have to admit that I have totally lucked out grabbing Ammar as the artists on the book as his style is a perfect fit for what I had in mind and he is equally as passionate about the story and fact it’s an all age book.

He has a great diverse look to his art, have a look at these images below, they are some of his work (not from our comic as to give nothing away).

He is an Illustrator, Comic Artist & Graphic Designer of huge talent and you can check out his website HERE. Also give his twitter a follow HERE.

Am looking forward to sharing more about this story in the coming months with little teasers of the art and pages and some more synopsis to get you excited 😀

The Last of the Unliving by Alex Giles, Lou Frontier & Ka De Oki

Posted on by

Time for another update on a project I am working on called ‘The Last of the Unliving’.

The project came about as myself and my good buddy Lou have been speaking about co-writing a story for ages and when we were speaking about this project it seemed perfect, and also we get the chance to work with a great artist like Ka so its good stuff all round, I will also be lettering it (obviously).

The story itself is one of a battle between Vampires, Mutants and Humans and follows our three main characters Tik, Dario and Sasha as they battle through a world where humanity as well as vampires are nearly extinct and being overrun with mutants.

Don’t want to give too much of the story away but figured I would share with you at this early stages some information and a few of Ka’s phenomenal character designs 🙂

Update on ‘The Odd Lot’ from Alex Giles & Pete Jones

Posted on by

Hey guys, time for another update on ‘The Odd Lot’ as we are tearing through this.

Thought I would put another update on as I’ve had surprisingly (well maybe not too much as the book is awesome) a lot of people comment and ask for a bit more information on the story and so here I am, updating and even showing you THE COVER!

This book as mentioned in a previous post HERE, was inspired by a song from Stanley Odd.

It’s about a group of teens and young adults whose DNA strands change after swimming in nuclear waste at Gare Loch next to Faslane Naval Base giving them powers.

Having gone back and reworked both the script and the art, Pete and myself have nearly completed the pitch which we will use for publishers to see.

Here is a look at the cover with logo I created and a sneak peek at some of the panels and style of art you can expect to see inside the book.

Cover1 IMG_3149

Now these panels haven’t been coloured yet as all we have to do for the pitch is colouring and lettering 🙂

Anyways hopefully be back with another update soon.
