Phatsville
Comix
Official: www.geocities.com/phatsvillecomix
Phatsville came about when

Constantine, Giles Kilham and Tom Scarlett decided
to write and draw comics featuring characters of
their own creation.
With their individual styles of drawing and humour,
the collaborative effort between these artists produces
a comic that is diverse by nature and appealing to
a broad audience of readers.
