Welcome!
Welcome to VANGUARD!
Vanguard is a Brit-Based superhero comic set in the not too distant future. At the time of writing this, the comic is moving into it’s second big arc, which started in issue ten.
And now onto the creator of the comic:
Dan started, as do a lot of comic artists, by drawing and creating characters and comic strips at an early age. Studying art through school and after he ended up earning a degree in Illustration and Design.
After a short career as an animator (where he realised drawing the same image over 200 times wasn’t for him), he defected to the ‘Dark Side’ and began working as a graphic designer, which he now does as his ‘proper’ job.
Comic book work to date:
The Awesome Comic – With Vince Hunt and Tony Esmond
El Marvo – with Luke Kondor & Ben Errington
Papercuts and Inkstains – Various
Assault of Fortress Doom – Lex McDonald
Comichaus – Suited & Booted with Jon Laight

Dan, can you drop me an email – it’ll be worth your while 🙂
Oh, sweet jeebus – I FINALLY FOUND YOU! *A*
I was wondering who did the forum banner for the Knights Templar of Malton/Templar Industries/UDKT, and gosh, I am surprised to see that you are also the one behind the Vanguard comic! I’ve come across it a while ago (a year ago, I think,) and I must commend you on it!
Thank you very much for the smiles you’ve indirectly brought to my face on so many days!
Well thank you!
I don’t get a great deal of time to jump on UD much these days, but try to support the knights when I can!
I’m glad the banner is still seeing service 🙂
Whoa! That was fast.
It’s completely understandable; been looking forward to seeing more of Vanguard as well, though I understand that RL can be busy!
It was actually a surprise to see you go online on the forum just a while ago.
But, if you don’t mind me asking (oh god I’m sorry, I’m an awkward fangirl;;; ,) is it alright if I can use the banner (as is, or slightly resized) as part of an off-site profile for personal use (and probably “promotional” purposes, i.e. “Do you like this banner? The maker of this image, Dan Butcher, also has a webcomic here (link to Vanguard)”? I wasn’t really certain if I would ask you, or Finny, or any of the current Council about this.
Thank you so much in advance, and have a good day!
Sure, feel free to use the banner as you wish. Just drop in a website link to here and that’d be cool.
Got to try and catch up with events in Malton now. I’ve missed a LOT!
Thanks so much again — definitely going to add a link to Vanguard there.
