About Crisp Biscuit Comics: Hello there.  I'm overweight cartoonist Robert Wells.  I have been drawing comics, producing illustrations and writing stories on and off since the early 1990s, and have been hiding behind the name Crisp Biscuit Comics for most of that time.  'Crisp biscuit' is a seldom heard slang term meaning 'wicked' (in the good sense of the word) or 'cool' or something like that.  An old friend and I were on a train many years ago and overheard some girls say it, while talking about a boy they obviously liked ('He's crisp biscuit, guy.').  We found this quite amusing and it stuck with me.   I  am currently busy working on Department of the Peculiar with Rol Hirst.  Issues one and two are out already and they are pretty good (I think I can just about get away with  saying that without coming across as big-headed, because I didn't write them).  To be kept up to date with my progress on #3, any other projects I may work on, and for the occasional one page gag strip, follow my blog and/or follow me on Twitter and/or like the Department of the Peculiar page on Facebook.

Department of the Peculiar #2 is here...   From writer Rol Hirst ('Too Much Sex & Violence', 'PJANG', 'The Jock') and artist Rob Wells ('Crisp Biscuit', 'Crisp', 'Colin Comix') comes the conclusion to the first DOTP adventure, featuring the origin of Malcolm 'Viral Mal' Drake. £2.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs.   Department of the Peculiar #1 From the writer of Too Much Sex & Violence, PJANG and The Jock (Rol Hirst) and the creator of Crisp Biscuit and Colin Comix (Rob Wells) comes a new British super-powered action/comedy/drama thingy about the government department established to investigate peculiar occurrences, people and phenomena. Their very first case? High cholesterol gone bad. We guarantee: you’ll never eat a ready meal again… £2.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp Biscuit Comics #2 This is another 20-page, colour collection of short humour strips, most of which were originally produced for my blog.  This includes The Green C**k Ring's Final Crisis, Rise of the Planet of the Mice, The No.1 Rhinos' Detective Agency, way too many pages of X-Factor-related material, my shortlisted entry for last year's Observer / Comika Graphic Short Story Prize, Halloween Parade, and more. £2.50 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp Biscuit Comics #1 This 20-page, colour comic collects some one-page humour strips that I produced for my blog.  As well as several episodes of Twenty-Bore, you will also get to meet Peter Pentel the Amazing Spider Man, Cheryl Coal Tit, and the Green C**k Ring.  Plus: Amazing Political fantasy!  The first printing of CBC #1 was something that I knocked up on my printer at home last summer, but this (much nicer) second printing has been professionally printed on glossy paper and various mistakes from the first printing have been corrected. £2.50 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp #3 Published in 1999, this contains the first 20 pages of the (never completed) Gig Guide strip plus a silent Devil's Daughter strip and the third Colin the Rhino one-pager. £1.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp #1 Published in 1997, this contains the Goodfellas parody Littlefellas, A Note on the Forthcoming Apocalypse and the first Colin the Rhino one-pager. £1.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Colin Comix #1 The first printing of Colin Comix #1 was something that I put together using my printer at home back in 2004 and it had a black and white interior, which never looked right as these strips originally appeared online in colour.  However, this new printing has been professionally printed on glossy paper and is full-colour throughout.  And it all looks rather nice, even if I do say so myself.  This 28-page comic contains a couple of Colin the Rhino strips, the first episode of Twenty-Bore, Who Is Cecelia Doom? and several one-page strips of variable quality.  It also contains rather a lot of swearing. £2.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp #2 Published in 1998, this contains the strips A Perfect Weekend, The Fat F**king Nerds and the second Colin the Rhino one-pager. £1.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs. Crisp Biscuit #1 Published in 1991, this contains a 20-page strip called She's Back! by me, plus a couple of shorter strips by friends of mine. £1.95 (including postage within the UK) Customers outside the UK, please contact me for shipping costs.
