Just to let you know, I'm going to be taking a sabattical from Jack Staff. Having finished the storyline began in issue 1 of WW of Jack Staff in issue 6 it seems like the best time for me to take a break. Later this year I'm going to be writng and drawing an all new comic Mudman (not set in the 'Jack Staff' Universe for those of you who worry about this kind of thing) which will be published by Image in November.

Hopefully Jack Staff will return next year, though will be grouped as a series of miniseries rather than a monthly comic.

And hopefully there'll be the return of an old favourite soon...

Disappointed that Jack Staff is going on hiatus, but nice to know you'll still be putting out some new comics this year. Can't wait.

Return of an old favorite? Let me guess, it rhymes with 'Lane' and isn't Bugler Bill.

Delays meant that I'd need to resolicit for issues 7 onwards, so this seemed the most sensible option. The breathing space means I have the chance to do a few other things that wouldn't really be possible if I was still running late on Jack Staff. And this way you get a whole new favourite Super Hero comic to look forward to!

As long as you put out something, I am good.

Well, I kind of guessed this was coming. What with DC cancelling all their existing titles, this has been a helluva month for long time comic readers......

Well we're doing our best to alienate as many readers as possible. Seems to be working.

Not altogether unexpected, but I'll echo the previous sentiment and happily follow you anywhere.

I don’t know how this is great news. Actually, this is terrible news. JACK STAFF is one of the best comics being published today. It’s, also, one of the very few comics that I still read.

(And there’s still so many unanswered questions regarding Jack Staff and friends.)

Please come back soon, Mr. Smith.
