Cy Dethan: Comics Writer.

I'm Cy Dethan, a British comics writer - welcome to my website. Right now, I'm busy kicking bloody great lumps out of the British comics industry. My work to date includes Markosia Enterprises' Starship Troopers ongoing series, Extinction Protocol for Mongoose Publishing's Signs & Portents magazine, Insomnia Publications' Layer Zero anthologies and Cancertown graphic novel, along with The Case Files of Harlan Falk and Slaughterman's Creed for Markosia. The Indifference Engine, The Ragged Man, Gamebreaker and Focal Point have all been signed and there are a few other things I'm not allowed to talk about yet.

I've just been given the go-ahead to talk about this, and I honestly can't keep quiet any longer. Here's the official press release:

Insomnia On Demand: Catch the RedEye on PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable)

Sony PSP Digital Comics Store Logo

In the blackest hours before dawn, when all good comic readers were tucked up in bed, the Insomniacs crawled into their dreams.

What were they whispering into the darkness? What did they wish for, lost in the sleep of the innocent?
No less than:

All this will be on offer for PSP owners in December 2009, with the opening of the Digital Comics Store on the PlayStation®Network.

Red Eyed and bushy tailed, Insomnia Publications will be standing proud on launch day as our critically acclaimed books take their place on the virtual shelves, next to world famous names in comic book publishing.

Insomnia Publications’ graphic novels will be presented in the store as single-issue length chapters, following the publication of the book. The first chapter of every book will be offered free to readers as a “taster” of the story.

Crawford Coutts, Managing Director of Insomnia Publications, says:

“We are incredibly excited to be partnering with Sony in the launch of the Digital Comics Service. 

Insomnia is committed to nurturing the very best new art, new writing and new concepts in its original graphic novels and the unprecedented scope of this Comics Store will connect independent publishers and readers around the globe.

The help and guidance we have received from Sony throughout truly demonstrates their commitment to support the medium, the publishers, the readers and the comics industry itself.

Many of our creators are gamers themselves and so were delighted to hear that their work will be offered through PlayStation Network.”


With the first Insomnia titles available right from the December launch, you will be able to:


With a growing range of titles to choose from and the phenomenal scope of the Digital Comics Store, this is just the beginning.

Gamebreaker: Three Book Contract Signed with Insomnia

Following a meeting with Crawford Coutts, late on the Sunday at BICS 2009,  3 volume spy epic Gamebreaker is now signed to Insomnia Publications.

"Those who even remember the legend of Bloodshot Iris and her insane, megalomaniacal schemes consider her a myth. They’re right – and like all great myths there’s a potent, even dangerous, nucleus of truth at her core. When the greatest villain of the Cold War emerges from retirement to reintroduce a disaffected world to the glorious chaos it once knew, she has only one target in mind – her nemesis, the ultimate superspy: Capablanca."

Spiralling Insanity returns to the British spycraft scene as the last remnant of the Cold War makes her bid to kick-start the era of the psychedelic super-spy.
