(Daniel and Anders are kind of busy when Iain calls.)

Panel 1

(Daniel and Anders in a bedroom, they are trying to hold someone down on a bed. He has white eyes with a reddish tint round them.)

Daniel: Hold him down Anders!

Spx: (Random musical notes hang in the air.)

Panel 2

(Anders looks down at his pocket, while Daniel looks shocked. The possessed guy starts to break free from them. Anders still has a hand on the guy but isn't really paying attention.)

Anders: Just a second, it's Iain.

Panel 3

(You can see Anders hand holding the phone in the foreground. The possessed guy has launched himself upwards and Daniel can't hold him. They are fuzzy with motion in the background. You can see the look of surprise on Daniel's face. )

Panel 4

(Daniel is punching the guy who has ducked. The action is happening behind Anders.)

Anders: Hello?

Demon: DIE! PUNY HUMAN SCUM!

Iain: Hey Anders. We could do with your advice. (Spiky bubble.)

Anders: No problem.

Panel 5

(The possessed guy punches Daniel in the face. Anders in the foreground.)

Spx: THUD!

Iain: Is this a bad time? (Spiky bubble.)

Panel 6

(The possessed guy is choking Daniel. Anders in the foreground.)

Daniel: GHAA!

Anders: No, not at all. We've got a possession.

Panel 7

(Daniel breaks the hold and uses the palm of his hand to whack the demon's head upwards from under his chin. Anders in the foreground.)

Spx: WHACK!

Iain: Just now? (Spiky bubble.)

Anders: Yeah, it's fine though, no big deal.

Panel 8

(Daniel runs away from the demon-possessed guy, you can see the glowing red eyes again. Anders has sat down on the bed and is smiling at Daniel as he runs past.)

Demon: YOU CANNOT ESCAPE! MORTAL GARBAGE!

Anders: Daniel's got it under control.

Dear all, it's Rhys again!

Good to speak to you all again, and welcome to what is for me a very special issue of Dark Red. Yes this was my last shoot, my last day living in Glasgow. But enough about my nostalgia, let's get on with the comic.

It was an amazingly fun shoot. I think this is the first real "human to human" fight on dark red. The choreography of Lynn and Jo was immense, and myself and the "demon" had to be on our toes… or backs… or fronts… depending on where we were told to go. The more shoots you do, I find the more "professional" you become, you focus more on the job. It's good to see the comic doing so well and all you guys enjoying it.

I'm hoping to move back to Glasgow fairly soon (hopefully early 2008) and then can concentrate once more on being the broody book curator Daniel again.

Much love to you all. Stay safe!

Rhys
