It's been quiet for a fair while here, so this is an update on our plans for 2015.
The next West comic will be The Train Leaves at Noon, a completed version of the strip that appeared last year in The Newspaper Strip Collection of Oscar Charles Drayton, and now featuring a never-before-seen conclusion to the story. This comic will debut at Cheltenham's True Believers Comic Festival on Saturday, February the 7th, and a week later (-ish, Sunday, the 15th of February) at DemonCon9 in Maidstone. Also available, of course, through our Big Cartel and Comicsy online stores.
Our only other booked convention so far for 2015 is ICE International Comics Expo in Birmingham in September, and for that we plan to kickstart our regular series with new issues. We will have the first issue of West: Volume III, Mississippi Shuffle, and, also for this event, we will be offering issue three of The Whale House, though one or more of these comics may be available online, or at an as-yet-unbooked convention a little sooner. You never know.

THE WHALE HOUSE - In Progress
![]() |
| Ink studies of Dig and Laura. (They won't always look so glum.) |
Why the delay? Simply put, as well as having to take over the drawing of the series, I have restructured The Whale House a little: Chris had committed to six issues, though these issues crept up to 28 pages each; my preference is to make each issue a little shorter, and the series a little longer. This means that I can make each instalment a little less dense and also give each one a theme which forms a more cohesive story rather than simply part of a longer series. Shorter issues also mean a faster publishing schedule.
I've now written scripts up to issue seven, so that I can concentrate my energy on the drawing of them. The ending of The Whale House is in mind (and in notes), but I'm leaving the actual writing of it until a little closer to the time.
Thank you for reading, and for your patience.

WEST: JUSTICE and WEST: DISTANCE now available.
Both of our latest publications - a paperback edition of West: Justice and the limited edition hardback of West: Distance - are now available to order. Book details and Paypal buttons are below. For international orders, please see our store on Comicsy.
West - Book One: Justice.
A name heard in stories, breathed in whispers.
In some tales, he's a lawman who stands for what's right and fair. In others, he's a killer hell-bent on revenge. Yet more tell of a man wronged by evil and denied his true love, of a brave Union soldier and a true friend.
Some say he fought ancient spirits and killed dead men, shot down the righteous and stood alongside the underdog. Some claimed to have killed him, or lost loved ones to his gun.
His name, though, all men can agree on; told around campfires in the cold prairie night, in the candlelit backrooms of low-rent saloons.
His name was Jerusalem West... and these are his stories.
West - Book One: Justice is reprinted in a 120-page paperback edition. It contains issues one to five of Volume I, and is available via Paypal for £10.00, with £1.30 P&P in the U.K.
Written and lettered by Andrew Cheverton and illustrated by Tim Keable.
(Collects Justice, Population 489, High Moon, Texas Drama, and The Last Bounty.)
West - Book Two: Distance.
A name heard in stories, breathed in whispers.
We've previously seen Jerusalem West as a lawman, a wanderer, and a bounty hunter. But now, with a chance encounter on a civil war battleground, we begin to see glimpses of the past that set the man on the path of destiny which will shape his future.
In stories ranging from the killing fields of the Civil War to the swamps of Louisiana, from New York City to the plains of Montana, the fingers of fate - and something darker and far, far older - begin to twist around Jerusalem West.
You think you know Jerusalem West... but you only know half the story.
West - Book Two: Distance is a 192-page hardcover edition, limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. It contains all six issues of Volume II as well as the previously uncollected Issue 0: Tall Tales from Volume I, and features a bonus gallery section of cover art, unused pages, promotional art and sketches. All 100 copies come with an A5 West print by Tim Keable. Both the print and gallery pages are exclusive to the hardcover and will not be reprinted in the paperback. This edition is available via Paypal for £15.00, with £1.70 P&P in the U.K.
Written and lettered by Andrew Cheverton and illustrated by Tim Keable, with guest art from Emma Price, Paul B Rainey, Jenika Ioffreda, Warwick Johnson Cadwell and Andrew Cheverton.
(Collects Tall Tales, Distance part 1, Distance part 2, Stray Bullets, Confederate Dead, Points West, and Autumn Dusk.)
