From working with Shug ’90 on Khaki Shorts it became clear that a “career” retrospective was called for, a collection of his comics overseen by the artist himself. Of course, the similar notion of undertaking the task of collating and sorting all John Miller’s work was nothing new, but quite as to how to approach it? Fortunately The Collected Shug ’90 set down the template, and each book contains as complete set of works as the associated artist can or wants to provide, and is presented and packaged in accordance with their vision.

Presently, plans are being drawn up for 2nd and 3rd John Miller Collections, featuring all of his strip and poster work aside from The Atomic Society, Secret Agent and Super Tales comic collections (available now under the ‘Evil Wee Comics’ imprint – see the EWC page for info). In addition, work continues apace on amassing the work of Glasgow artist Dave Alexander, with a long overdue ‘MacBams’ collection scheduled to appear early next year just in time for their 30th anniversary.
