Accent UK Contributor - Dave West.
Who is Dave West ?
Dave West started creating his own comics back in the previous century (well, 1999) with 'More Than We Seem' which he co-created with Larry Betts. A science fiction tale in two parts, this comic survived 9 issues. Learning many lessons from this first venture, he realised that for a small self publisher the stories needed to be completed over fewer issues, and so he set out to do just that.

Forming Accent UK with Colin Mathieson and Barry Renshaw as a means to help each other out at conventions and the like, the collective soon decided that's it'd be great to produce a themed anthology every year. Collecting together stories from people out there in the UK trying their hand at (and in many cases succeeding in) producing their own comics. With the later loss of Barry Renshaw, who went off to focus on the excellent REDEYE, Dave and Colin have managed to edit and produce a themed anthology every year since 2001, with each one getting bigger and better, and more geographically diverse (in terms of both creators and where they are sold).

When not editing and creating stories for the themed anthologies, Dave's work pops up in little A5 mini comics. His first 'The Myopians' received enough encouraging feedback for him to produce another, 'Strange Times'. He has just finished 'The Myopians 2' and working on the follow up to 'Strange Times', cunningly titled 'Strange Times 2', which will see life as a webcomic on this website before it ever sees paper.

He also co-created Wolfmen with Andy Bloor, who provides full art, kind of 'Get Carter' with a twist. Andy is now working on the scripted Wolfmen 2.
