Once again, the site for the production company, run by Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman, WildFur Productions has updated their news page. You may also want to take note of the picture of the incentive cover of IDW's Transformers #0, that can be found here.

The following text is a direct quote from the WildFur news page.

OCTOBER SIGNING (PART THE FIRST)
With IDW's Transformers Infiltration #0 hitting the stores mid-October, Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman are hitting the road, signing pens in hand. First stop is the Area 51 comic store in Bristol (UK) on Saturday 22nd October. Furman and Wildman will be signing copies of issue #0 and assorted Transformers trades from 2PM onwards, while no doubt gassing incessantly and recklessly about upcoming projects. Want to get stuff signed, find out what's coming up... then come on down. The shop can be found at 230 Gloucester Road, Horfield, Bristol. For more information, contact Area 51 on 0117 924 4655.

And this just in... Area 51 have 20 limited edition prints of Andrew Wildman's breathtaking (alternate) wrap-around cover art for issue #1 up for grabs! The first 20 punters to part with a measly £5 (spent in store on whatever) get the prints, so make sure you're there early!

OCTOBER SIGNING (PART THE SECOND)
A mere one week on, and it's back on the road, and this time Simon Furman (minus the Wild one) is Bedford-bound. He, along with stellar line-up of UK creative talent (including Charlie Adlard, David Hine, Simon Bisley, Alex De Campi, John McCrea, Glenn Fabry and Jamie Delano) will be signing anything and everything thrust under their noses at Close Encounters, 59 Midland Road, Bedford (UK) on Saturday October 29th. For more information, contact Close Encounters on 01234 270777.

DEATH'S HEAD - YES!
It's true... everyone's favourite Bounty-er, Freelance Peacekeeping Agent is back! Death's Head (or at least, the all-new Death's Head 3.0) is back. The new Death's Head will return this December in the pages of Marvel's Amazing Fantasy #16 (for a 5-issue run), courtesy of Simon Furman (Yes!) and James Raiz (who previously provided stellar artwork for Dreamwave's Transformers Armada series, among others). So... is this new Death's Head different again from previous incarnations? Well, yes... and no. A whole new era of DH excitement begins right here. For more information, check out www.marvel.com

Don't miss the first issue of Titan Magazines' cracking new Wallace & Gromit comic, on sale now (or soon anyway!). This bumper-sized comic/magazine comes with host of outrageously funny features, bewildering puzzles, mind-boggling inventions and, of course, assorted cheeses, as well as two (count 'em!) comic strips, one of which is written by Wildfur's very own Simon Furman (and there's more to come). The first issue comes with a FREE Gromit pencil case... outstanding! For more information, check out www.titanbooks.com
