Today I am pleased to announce another Sidekick exclusive, Simon Wyatt's OGN Unbelievable - The Man Who Ate Daffodils has been picked up by Markosia.

Follow up:

You may or may not be aware that this book was originally slated to be released through Insomnia publishing before they became no more. Since then a lot of the creators have been looking for homes for their books, if you heard the Sidekicks on Tour interview with Harry Markos, publisher and all around head honcho at Markosia, you'll be aware that Harry has been looking to sign many of these talented artists and writers.

Simon Wyat both writes and draws Unbelievable and he had this to say about today's news:

"It's with great pleasure that I can announce that Unbelievable - The Man Who Ate Daffodils has been signed with Markosia Enterprises. It's been a long and interesting journey and I'm thrilled that my beastly tale will finally be unleashed with the release of the first chapter of Volume 1 available for digital download sometime in the first quarter of 2011!"

So there we see Harry's new business model in full effect, digital download first to 'test the waters' as he put it in our interview. In today's climate this seems to be not only sensible but also very astute, let's hope this method proves strong and we see more of the books that were once slated to come out through Insomnia.

Unbelievable is the story of the remote mining village of Bryn Boncath, which has its share of stories, local legends and half believed histories. It is a close knit community, with even closer guarded secrets. Strands of Welsh legend, modern murder mystery woven with horror and a dash of crytozoology ask “What if seeing isn’t always believing, but believing will allow you to see?”

You'll be able to hear our review of Unbelievable along with other Markosia titles such as Cy Dethan's Indifference Engine on an upcoming special Underground Special Sidekickcast where we dip into the side of the comic industry not dominated by the big companies.
