Life’s a party – an ongoing comic project

May 31, 2021 by Sean Azzopardi Leave a Comment

I have self-published my own comics for nearly Twenty years. A good portion of these are what is generally termed autobio, short for autobiography, Ten years in the making I have produced eight comics centred around my personal experiences. I had the gauge idea of the BIG BOOK, collecting these comics and working towards 600 pages. This was with one eye on Eddie Campbell – The years have pants and building a legacy work. But drift set in and I was lost as to what direction to lead the project.

Strip for me steps up

It was Douglas Noble that suggested that I should collect them under a working title and he would publish them on Strip For Me/ComiXology. He suggested Life’s a party. I was quite resistant to this title at first. It’s a play on my surname and I’ve heard most versions including ASSPARTY ! After a while I came round to accepting the title as a thing.

Why do you need to know this.

Basically all my back issues are out of print, and I have no intention of reprinting any of them. New comics will be published and if I ever get to the end of this project I will try to get a complete book published. But until then, digital is the way to read the back issues.

So where can I buy these ?

Life’s a party/Strip for me/ComiXology is the place to go for back issues.

For my current print comic, Last Orders click through to the shop.

Necessary Monsters

Necessary Monsters is a collaboration between Sean Azzopardi and Daniel Merlin Goodbrey. Starting out as a web comic in 2008, Monsters was then published in 5 self produced mini – comics. It has an interesting publishing history, resulting in two trades published by 1st Publishing. A third volume, On bloody foundations is in the process of being published, date TBC.

Necessary Monsters volume 1

Blurb from volume one. There exists a world of horrors beneath the one we know, where the creatures of our nightmares stalk amongst humanity. The Chain polices this world, a covert agency -of killer monsters keeping the human herd from growing too thin. With an Introduction by Kieron Gillen.

Necessary Monsters 2 – Murderbox

Necessary Monsters: Murderbox is a spy thriller where the world is awash with beasts and monsters, dark things that cut, bite, slash and generally kill you. Daniel Goodbrey twists and turns the plot around, following all the rules of thriller writing, throwing in some grotesquery and trimmings of weird, shadowy worlds, but playing up to the clichés, luxuriating in them, even, adding a knowing twist to the thrills – Forbidden Planet. With and introduction from Si Spurrier.
