About: Why 'C2D4'?
My name is Tony Wicks, and I've been drawing and writing comics since I was a kid, and have never been as into it as I am right now.
I drew a one-off strip called 'Komikaze' back in 1987. He was a kind of vague homage to my fave artist Moebius, both in style, and also in the 'stream-of-consciousness' method I used to create the story...Blank page, no script, see what transpires. It's one of the few strips I still felt an affinity with when looking through my old portfolios when I started drawing again in October 2005. The name 'Komikaze' was also one I'd wanted to use as a fanzine title or company name, back in the day. "No," people would say, "it's like calling your company 'Titanic' or 'Suicide' -- it suggests failure." Well, that may well be, but in my humble opinion I think it's a bloody cool name. Trouble is so does everyone else, which is why I'm not using his name anymore, just his image. Still, the idea of someone dying for (or on) his art endures. Hence C2D4, the name for the company formed by myself and script writer Martin Buxton.
