Do-Do Man the series #2



Created back in 1993 by partner, Sarah Sier and myself, once we had produced the Limited Edition, we went on to work on Do-Do Man the series. What follows is the complete story from issue #2 entitled, Politics, Psychosis and Piles! The Psychotic Protagonist and his manic feline, Amy, are back with a new burst of Do-Doism, which is now starting to catch on in the bustling city of Shefferham. (An amalgamation of Sheffield and Rotherham). However, not all is sweetness and light, the politicians want rid of them, they'll pay any price, and it just so happens that Do-Do Man's ex-bank manager has some savings...

Early Days...



Whilst checking out a number of old photographs, my eyes fell on this picture of my Dad and I, taken when I was just 11 years of age by my old school friend, Philip Wood. As I recall, it was a summer evening and Thursday. Please don't ask as to why I remember the day, for some odd reason, I do. It was around 5.40pm and Dad was leaving to do another 13 hour nightshift at the textile mill. He was one of the most hard working men I've ever known and I thank him for doing it for me. It was Dad who got all my comics, not only the humour titles, but also lots of early issues of Spider-Man, Avengers, X-Men to mention but a small few, this provoking me to want to spent lots of time drawing my favourite characters and of course having in mind that one day I'd become a cartoonist. My Dad, Mykola, came from the village of Lybikhora, Western Ukraine. During WW2, at the age of 15, he was taken from his family and placed in a labour camp for three years, never to see them again. When arriving in England as a DP in 1948, he finally made his way north to Yorkshire where he met my Mum. Whilst he died back in July 1991, I still miss him greatly, so this is just a small way of saying thank you to my Dad for buying for me all those comic books that shaped my life and career.
