DIRTY MARTINI
As the Blue Lotus comes from my love for shows and films of the 60s- Dirty Martini is pure late 70's-80's passion. Starsky & Hutch, Streets Of San Francisco, Cannon, Kojak, Shaft, Magnum Force, Isaac Hayes/ Lalo Schifrin music... all that jazz! Literally everyone was either a cop or a private investigator.
NATASHA TAKES A DIP!
Whether she’s poolside at a Riviera resort or disappearing into the midnight scene, Natasha Romanov proves that danger never looked so dazzling.
TANATASTIC SUE!
The suns out...so let's have some fun creating swimsuits for the usual 60's-early 70's inspired heroes... and maybe a villain or two.
SCARLETT COUTURE UNDER FIRE!
Scarlett Couture Investigations Book One- Contains 3 standalone stories, which will dive deeper into her world and the blowback from the events set up in The Munich File.
Anastasia DeCobray
The Baroness- Swap the iconic leather bodysuit for a razor-sharp black business suit? Her energy changes completely.
“TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY, TIGER”
Meeting Mary Jane Watson at Starks’ Diner for a catch up. What’re you ordering?
THAT GIRL BAB’S GORDON!
Let’s get something straight right out the gate. Barbara Gordon isn’t just a Batgirl. She’s the Batgirl. A cape-wearing, brainy, badass icon who proved you could fight crime with fists and facts, and later proved you didn’t even need to stand up to stand out.
SUPER SODA!
SUPER SODA! If the DC Girls had their own range of drinks…what would be your flavour?
MY PROBLEM WITH MODERN STAR TREK
Why does everything feel like “Star Trek…but make it trendy"? And why does the villain (even though it’s a hologram) just walk straight onto the bridge like it’s a Walmart??
THE PROBLEM WITH TWO CAPS
Our girl Rina 'Dirty' Martini discusses the problem of two Captain Americas! With Steve Rogers reportedly back in the MCU and the internet asking “what about Sam Wilson?!”, Captain America #0 (2022) feels weirdly prophetic

A Short Story From the Cats Kitten Club.

BUSHMILLS SWAGGER AT COLLECTABLES HOUSE, LONDON.
Last night had all the sparkle of a 1960s cocktail party — only with better Wi-Fi and fewer cigarette holders.
I had the absolute pleasure of being hosted by Collectables House, Baker Street, London, for a special evening showcasing my latest project, The Cats Kitten Club. The event was expertly curated by Jaimie George of CGC / Stanley Gibbons Baldwins, who somehow managed to mix collectors, cocktails, and comics into one very classy soirée.

SCARLETT COUTURE INVESTIGATIONS
At LONDON FILM & COMIC CON this year I was overwhelmed by the customers who came to my stand, saying how much they enjoyed Scarlett Couture-The Munich File, and how many brought copies with them for me to sign. Not to mention how well she's done on my Eva Strongbird Kickstarter Campaign, selling out completely of SC ArtBooks.
