He first saw print in comics published by Paul Grist's Dancing Elephant Press, and is now published by Image Comics. Comics International began exclusive publication of a monthly four-page strip featuring the supporting character Ben Kulmer; this started in #185 of the magazine and was set to run for twelve episodes. These strips have since been reprinted by Image Comics in a special.
