The Chemistry Set cats announce that Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood’s The Gloom will join their line-up Oct. 19. Press release after the jump …
The Chemistry Set are pleased to announce the addition of Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood, otherwise known as Silver Bullet Comic Books’ Two Drunk Guys In A Bar,and their miniseries, The Gloom, to the ranks of the Chemistry Set creators.
Tony and Dan – whose current project is Hope Falls, a supernatural five part series out from AAM/Markosia in November – have a long history together, starting from a random meeting at a comic convention in 2004.
“We were both at Bristol in November for a UK convention.” Tony Explains. “And I was meeting the now-defunct APC about a project, who put me up for the night in Dan’s room as he was sleeping there on their dime, so to speak. We’d never met each other before that day so we were wary of exposing our shirtless bodies to one another in case we became a Merchant-Ivory film, but after a few drinks and a mutual slagging-off of all the creators we hated, we found we had a bond that no man, woman or farmyard animal could break. That night we created The Gloom, pitched it the very next day. The Gloom made it to print, and the project I was there for was forgotten!”
Having built up a friendship with many of the Chemistry Set members from his regular trips to the U.S for conventions, Tony knows that Two Drunk Guys In A Bar will fit in well at The Chemistry Set. But the first problem they actually had was what to create.
