VOGARTH news and updates
Vogarth: Colour Cosmic Comic Capers hardback book!
Incoming Transmission from the Wildest Corners of the Galaxy...
VOGARTH has landed — and it's not your average space opera.
We're talking zombie space pirates, mystical chaos, adult entertainment weaponry, and pure, unfiltered Astro Punk madness.
Join AP– a vagabond zombie pirate with a ship full of secrets – and the fierce, unpredictable Katika, the last of a noble race with her own collection of NSFW tools and a taste for trouble. Together, they tear through the cosmos, dodging danger and laughing in the face of galactic doom.
Think: Heavy Metal meets Rick & Morty with a touch of Tank Girl. Full colour. Hardback. Completely unhinged.
If you're into indie comics, weird sci-fi, post-apocalyptic punk vibes, or just love supporting original graphic novels – this is your call to arms.
We’re crowdfunding now, and we want you on board.
Back the comic. Share the chaos. Rule the stars.

The Evil Emperor
The Evil Emperor Nasticulus reigns over the Galactic Empire and is thoroughly evil, bad tempered and thinks the solution for most problems is to destroy whatever causes the problem. Having destroyed the weekend, a certain favourite programme and having coffee, one lad and his cats decide to stand up to him and take him on!
Planning on the book of the adventures for next year, as the art was all done mostly for my step sons entertainment in his daily lunch box but is in a similar vein. There is even a small cameo from two certain vagabond cosmic caperers!! Spanning three volumes, brought into one edited so its relevant to everyone, is planned for release later in 2025.
Classic Comix
Created by Rob Talbot and Ben Hunt the story of a comics publisher becoming a multi media international business through its comic strips. Featuring Blast, the super hero stuck at college for 15 years trying to finish her course, the mysterious Magpie, seeing patterns in coincidences, the super hero collective the Benefits Collective and Glop a monstrous being that rampages for no reason at all.
We never published issue 4 as our 'proper lives' took over and though we'd done the work we never found the time to get it published so again looking to collate these into one tome, 120 pages it would be though in black and white as the original versions were.
The Quirks of Crow
Developing a collection of stories about some crows, jackdaws, ravens, rooks and other corvids in tales such as Murder at the Rookery, Skinhead Seagulls, Crow's Intelligence Test and more.

Vogarth is the stories of a vagabond zombie space pirate, Astro Punk and the last of a noble race zombie space pirate lover Katika, who armed with the her adult entertainment toys and Vogarth's space ship and mystical powers take on the galaxy and usually fall about giggling.
Astro Punk
A mystery and enigma of how on earth this dodgy character came into the first issue of Vogarth and shot him!! He just arrived after stealing the Galactic Federation's wig, he claimed and when Vogarth attacked him Astro Punk did what any self respecting space pirate would do...
He has mellowed out a bit, mostly due to the influence of Katika, though still has a penchant for high space robbery.
Katika
Violet
Katika had been alone on her world after the rest of her species had died out. She is a bright creature and to ease her boredom made a series of 'adult entertainment' toys, rays or bombs. Thrilled when her planet was the site of the crash landed cast of her favourite soap, Terrans, she over excitedly greeted and scared them!! When Vogarth

Along with Sky were imitation Heroes of Bosai when Astro Punk met them. Essentially two bounty hunters, but while Sky was focussed on the violence, Jorogumo was more interested in defence and health.
