History

Ed Murphy, Colin Barr, David McBride and comic-book artist Jaeson Finn founded Rough Cut Comics in 1999 to[1]

[..] create a publishing house to produce comic-book projects based upon - and to inspire - feature film and video game packages.

Rough Cut′s first title was The Surgeon, published in 2001. The Surgeon was based on a horror film script that never came to fruition. It sold more than 7.000 copies and has been translated into different languages, among them German,[2] where it was published by Weissblech Comics, French and Italian. Another comic based on horror films is the adaption of Brian Yuzna's Society; the current series is the sequel Society: Party Animal written by Colin Barr with art by Shelby Robertson for issue 1 and Neill Cameron for issue 2.[3]

The title Freedom Collective, published in 2009, garnered praise from Grant Morrison and Alex Ross, and was mentioned by the Jack Kirby Collector and comic magazine Wizard, as well as becoming one of new distributor UKonDisplay’s biggest selling titles at their launch earlier that year.[4] In July 2014, their GoodCopBadCop: Casebook#1 title won the True Believers Award for Best British BW Comic-book.
