The site for Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman's production company WildFur Productions has updated its newspage. The following is a direct quote from their news page.

DRAW THE WORLD TOGETHER
Andrew Wildman is currently working on a new fundraising project.
The aim: Comics creators around the world are currently working on pieces of artwork that express who they are as a comics community. By doing this they are aiming to raise funds for the children in the world who will probably never have the opportunity to grow up in the comics world that inspired them as children and enabled them to express that as adults. A way of uniting the whole global comics community in a virtual event that will raise funds for those children less fortunate than ourselves.
Artists currently on board as contributors include:

Don Figueroa
Marcelo Matere
E.J.Su
Alex Milne
Brian Bolland
Dave Gibbons
David Lloyd
Jock
Ian Gibson
Mark Harrison
John Higgins
Dougie Braithwaite
Martin Griffiths
Boo Cook
Jeff Anderson

THEY'VE GOT THE POWER!
Issue #15 of Future Publishing's official Jetix magazine (on sale in October) features a rare treat for fans of the Simon Furman/Andrew Wildman run on Transformers (UK and US). The duo are reunited for the ongoing (comic strip) adventures of Power Rangers SPD (Space Police Delta), the latest incarnation of the Mighty Morphin' mega-series. Of course, fans of the series already know that Andrew has been the art mainstay on Jetix for almost its entire run, but now there's one more good reason to check it out. For more information, check out Jetix or email jetixmag@futurenet.co.uk

UNLEASH THE BEAST (AGAIN!)
IDW Publishing, the new holders of the Transformers comics license, have confirmed that, in addition to their ongoing G1 comic, they plan to publish a four-issue Beast Wars mini-series, kicking off in early 2006 (to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Beast Wars). The series features new uber-bad guy Magmatron (and a host of BW characters new to both comics and TV) in a tale that weaves in and out of the third season of the hit show and sets up dramatic new storytelling possibilities for the future. The series is written by Simon Furman and drawn by... ah, but that'd be telling. For more information check out www.idwpublishing.com
