The Mighty Jambo

You are now leaving the RiCO-verse. Please enter the decontamination booths on your right. You may experience some discomfort but please let the acids do their job.

I’m so glad I could get RiCO to chip in on this project… The guy was such an integral part of the writing process for this incarnation of Jambo in the beginning. Back when we shared the flat in that bit of Liverpool that was in the first episode of The Secret Millionaire (seriously, fucker was right outside and I didn’t get nowt!) we’d both be writing pages of our comics. Then we’d swap over and go through each others stuff saying “You can’t use that, it’s nicked from Earthworm Jim” or “That panel doesn’t work, if he’s doing that then you need to show it” I guess it’s the equivalent of musicians jamming together? I dunno, I’ve never been in a band cos I got bored of the keyboards and I’m too lazy to learn to play anything well!

This whole collaboration thing is what gave birth to Reject! He first appeared as one of the clones in Lifewaltz… before getting retooled as the super-genius-high-tech-hero that appears in this very issue. He’s also one of my favourite characters to write. So expect a lot more from him… and probably a lot more of me gushing about how much fun he is!

I’ve waffled on for long enough, come back next week if you like!

Stay tuned
