BLACK SHIP BOOKS INTERVIEW FOR MEGABOOK M4

This was an interview I did a little while ago for Black Ship Books for my contributions to Megabook M4.


Today Black Ship brings an interview with yet another talented creator  from the M4 anthology.  Indie creator Paul Bradford of Inertia 
Publications talks with us about M4 and his other projects in the comic 
industry.
 
Black Ship Books: So how do you know Mike Rickaby and how did 
you get on board for M4?
 
Paul Bradford: I discovered MEGABOOK M1 when I was searching 
around the internet. It had just been released so I missed out on that 
issue. However I got in contact with Mike when he was looking for M2 
submissions. I submitted a story for that issue titled Astral Crusaders: 
The Standard Bearer. Subsequently I submitted a follow-up story for M3 titled Astral Crusaders: Fields of Death. With M4, Mike 
was looking to offer a print version and was requesting black and white 
submissions, so I submitted a couple of black and white stories being 
Undercurrent: The Good Samaritan and The Adjudicator: Make the Call.
 
BSB: Tell us about your stories, The Good Samaritan and The Adjudicator
