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
