LWLies 28 hits shelves tomorrow, and its cover is a specially commissioned illustration of Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass, penned by none other than co-creator and Marvel Comics legend John Romita Jr.
Not only this, but JR Jr. has acted as judge for our third Creative Brief, picking a winner from almost 100 entries, all of which displayed an incredible breadth of wit, talent and imagination.
For our third Brief, LWLies threw down the gauntlet to the film-loving indie comics community. The challenge was to redraw your favourite film within the parameters of a six-panel comic strip and we can now reveal that the winner is David Rigby for his interpretation of Zombieland.
David’s winning strip will take centre place in a special double page spread in LWLies 28, accompanied by the two runners up. You can check out all the runners-up in a special digital edition available for free right here from March 5.
In LWLies 28: The Kick-Ass issue, we find Aaron Johnson’s limits of control; engage the superstar writers swapping comic-books for film cameras; pass judgment on the trial of Silver Age superheroes and unveil a new breed of DIY hero. We also get the inside scoop from Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar; rescue indie comics from development hell; relive Matthew Vaughn’s very own origin story; and consider the genetic mutations of atomic comics. All that plus read our thoughts on all the latest films hitting UK cinemas in the next few months, interviews with Tilda Swinton, Lu Chuan, Nicolas Winding Refn, and more.

Well done to David, and thanks to everyone who entered and made our latest Brief a success.
