The online pulp-fiction anthology, Schlock Magazine, is now on its special Steampunk issue, offering a number of short stories, illustrations, and more.

Also in this number is a steampunk inspired photoshoot, Milorda Gardens with the magazine's authors and illustrators.


Have a visit, do some reading (it's all good, trust me), and let the team know what you think.
IF ANYONE IS WONDERING, YES I AM INVOLVED IN THIS !
There's a short story and a couple of illustrations I did for this number, under my 'real' name, Marco Attard.
Do some readings now.

Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter14:29 Transformers 2 is a mind numbing incoherent mess of spinny sfx, inconsequential plot, and SHOTS OF US ARMY PEOPLE LOOKING AT SCREENS. #

Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter12:48 Finding a pair of trousers that fits well for me is like finding the goddamn holy grail, and then they ask me why I hate clothes shopping. #
13:08 @glummdead I'll be immortal until the trousers end up destroyed from being worn bascially all the time. #

23:20 Scott Morse posted some of his 'Shogunaut' comic and it is epic have a look tinyurl.com/mpmgd8 #
00:14 @meluseena Satoshi Kon is a genius and anything by him is amazing. Not very 'anime' and more 'japanese made drama only animated' #

00:25 @meluseena Paranoia Agent is an excellent series from Satoshi Kon. Mind Game and Tekkon Kinkreet are great too. #

Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter13:52 I want to go to Italy to hunt down fumetti and Eurocomix, goddamit. Oversized Moebius, Enki Bilal and Hugo Pratt albums are a thing i want. #
Automatically shipped by LoudTwitter14:07 @mrs_maltagirl The counting hall must be the saddest place to tweet from. Double so if you'd be a nationalist. Uh. #
14:14 This morning I could choose between either depressingly political tv or a Sanrio fever dream in japanese cartoon form. Insaaane. #
14:48 You can say what you will about Malta's miserable politics but I really want to punch the smug grin out of Joseph Muscat's stupid face. #
11:55 The Pirate Party managed to get a Euro Parliament seat but does not involve rad hats, ships or booty :( tinyurl.com/lodnt #
