Here’s the cover to the next issue, which you’ll all be looking forward to. It’s… unusual. More news soon.

Now, I’m not actually going to be at the Thing this weekend (or its lower budgeted rival) because I‘ll be off to parts different, but that’s not to say that you won’t be able to purchase your very own copy of the newest issue of Strip For Me.

Issue 25 contains the story A Man of Certain Talents, and as I said the other day, it’s an odd one this time. The story is that of a man who is tasked to complete a number of mysterious actions on behalf of an equally mysterious employer. It’s a puzzle about identity, set in a world without names. Where no answers are supplied and the questions are left unsaid. A good turn. A locked door. A solitary child. A man of certain talents. Like I said, an odd one.

It’ll be on sale thanks to Mr Goodbrey, who will no doubt be pushing it to every one of the people that he meets. Next week I’ll see what I can do about getting it up for sale right here.

Issue 25 of Strip For Me contains the story A Man of Certain Talents, and it’s now available to buy.

A man must complete a number of mysterious actions on behalf of an equally mysterious employer. It’s a puzzle about identity, set in a world without names. Where no answers are supplied and the questions are left unsaid.

A good turn. A locked door. A solitary child.

A man of certain talents.

“For anyone serious about the dramatic powers of the form this is a book to look in on.” Andrew Luke, TRS.

“Hats off to you Mr. Noble; when people accusingly challenge me that all comics are for intellectual retards and bed wetters, all failed relationships and whimsy, I can add this to my arsenal of come backs; ‘yeah but have you seen this?’” – Oliver East, Trains Are Mint.

“It’s a fascinating story, hugely enjoyable, although you may not actually ever realise why you’re enjoying it so much.” – Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet International.

SOLD OUT!

A lovely review of the new Strip For Me can be found by taking a look over at TRS2.  Andy Luke has a power of nice things to say, and does.  Listen:

Another lovely review of the newest Strip For Me, A Man of Certain Talents, can be found at The Daily Crosshatch, courtesy of Trains Are… Mint‘s Oliver East.  I’d have to say that it’s probably my favorite review ever, if only for the inclusion of the following:

He gets it.

The comic is still available to buy, by the way.  I’m not the only person who thinks that you should.
