About Me

Gothic Policeman is a comic book about a former NYPD officer now a super-hero hunting down breakers of the Witches Pact. He is a great warrior. But he begins to question why his orders are to only hunt down witches. He's been told to basically give men a free ride, and to stop just the women.He lives in the world of the supernatural. His weapon of choice is a sword. He fights like a barbarian.First issue isn't out, but it is scripted, and scripting has started on the second one. And I should add that Gothic Policeman is TM Stephen Cadigan. All rights reserved. Gothic Policeman is created and written by Stephen Cadigan (me!). I used to write an interview column called "Power Questions" that appeared at Mania.com back in the late 1990's. Newsarama was just a column there too then, not the biggest comics news web site, like it is now. Let's see, what else... yes, I'm also working on a book about Alan Moore's "Big Numbers" comic book. Mr. Moore has kindly said it's okay for me to make it. What else? There's the documentary I'm working on called "Churchill Falls Interviews". I've received a small grant from the National Film Board of Canada to help with the making of it. You know, the National Film Board who've won tons of Oscars for their documentaries... plus there's that other comic I'm writing... yes, life is fun!

Peter Jackson HAS to direct The Hobbit

I am shocked to hear that New Line has dumped Peter Jackson from their upcoming The Hobbit movies. All I can say is, I'm boycotting New Line until they change their mind on this. This is an insul...

The Slow March Forward

The scripting for Gothic Policeman #2 has been going very slowly. Just pieces of pages here and there written. I'm trying to fit in new plot ideas with the existing stuff I've done. I have been cre...

Short, Short Stories

I'm trying to write a few very short stories that take place in Gothic Policeman's universe. I figure that it is a quick way for people to sample Gothic Policeman. So far, I've thought up four diff...

G-Rated Horror

I like to think of Gothic Policeman as a super-hero, but I guess he's many things. He's a knight, a police officer, a super-hero, and a supernatural warrior. Something that is at the core of the se...

Page 8

I'm back to scripting. The first seven pages are scripted, and I'm working on Page 8. And I might do what I do a lot. I might add a new scene to the beginning of the comic. I've already started scrip...

The Look

I had to decide if I'd go with exactly the same look for Gothic Policeman that I thought up in the 1980's, or should I update it. I decided an update would be a good idea. I tried out one change to...
