Cartoonist, illustrator and Panic Coordinator to Breakfast television since 1992, Paul Rainey is all this and less. Why not take a mosey around this site and experience the joy of his comic strip work? Or visit any or all of his other sites for more of the same sort of thing, which are as follows... There's No Time Like The Present I started work on There's no Time Like the Present, or TNTLTP for short, in September 2004. This is my long comic strip, or "graphic novel", which I am currently serialising in printed form. So far, nine parts are available and can be ordered from the shop section of the site. The first thirty seven pages of the story can be read here for free.
"expertly
crafted dialogue", "exquisite panel layout""I honestly can't recommend it enough."
Redeye Magazine Book of Lists Book of Lists is my diary strip which I started in 2003 where events are ordered by category rather than in their linier occurrence. Currently, the finishing touches are being done to a full colour book collection of all completed lists so far. “strangely compelling, funny, entertaining and honest” Comics International "/Rainey's/ online experiment in comics discipline, a way to ensure his productivity that’s resulted in some fine, fine work" Richard Bruton, Forbidden Planet Blog.
2000 AD Prog Slog Blog One day in 1977, I bought the first issue of 2000 AD. Thirty years later, I bought it again along with most of the following eleven hundred in a moment of madness in an eBay auction. Obviously, this would be a total waste of money if I didn't read them all. Why not record the experience of reading twenty years worth of comics in a contracted period of time, I thought. Thus was born, the 2000 AD Prog Slog Blog. "if you're experiencing Scrotnig withdrawal, Paul Rainey's excellent Prog Slog blog does exactly what it says on the tin" - The Guardian Film Blog Some comic strips that I have drawn in recent years can be read here also... Like Doctor Who? Like The Jeremy Kyle Show? Like Doctor Who but don't like The Jeremy Kyle Show? Don't like Doctor Who but love The Jeremy Kyle Show? Don't like Doctor Who and don't like The Jeremy Kyle Show? Then you're going to love The Doctor Kyle Show.

Dalek Invasion of Milton Keynes Here's an illustration called Dalek Invasion of Milton Keynes I did for Darryl Cunningham's new blog, Exdrawminate. On Exdrawminate, cartoonists and comic artists get to contribute their illustrations of daleks which are nearly always imaginative and witty. My drawing didn't turn out as well as I had hoped as I drew it on a really hot day earlier this week and the paper kept sticking to my arm.
Paul B. Rainey 03/07/09 Pbrainey on the Radio I recently did an interview with Alex Frith where I talked about my comics including There's No Time Like The Present.
