(NameOfCompany) Comics is a minor stickman comic organisation founded by (Author) on the February 19, 2006. Its official homepage is (NameOfCompany)comics.co.uk. The Majority of the comics stated to be created never will, if they were, who would actually read them?
2006
In The Beginning
(Author), at this time, aged 12 began to draw stickman comics. At first, they were only intended as something to do, but they became important to him, so the collection grew; characters were established; and a series was being slowly shaped into something that was to become big.
Inspiration
(Author) got his idea of drawing comics from a boy called (friend), who had already drawn a few comics under the title of "Rick & Tony", which showed the funny adventures of two friends as they annoyed each other. These ceased to be made after a few stories, but it got (Author) to start on his own. He established a series called "Cops & Robberz".
"Cops & Robberz"
Cops & Robberz had been an idea in (Author)'s head for years. There were many times when he tried to show the ideas, through film and writing, but drawing became a new thing. It was a way to tell his stories that seemed possible. And so Cops & Robberz was born. Three heroes had been created, Brandon Walsh, George Jenkins and Amigo Gonzales Rodriguez and a supervillain had been made, too - Jack Parish.
The Original Comics
The 2006 comics don't show (Author)'s best work because, as mentioned earlier, they weren't meant to be taken seriously at this time. The first comics - involving the heroes meeting and joining to take down the recurring, undefeatable Jack - were bad quality comics, but they were only there for (Author)'s friends' entertainment. The first comic made was called "Super Smith", but no copies of it exist any more. Super Smith introduced the characters and also a little humour as an old woman called Granny Smith became a ninja and mercilessly beat the shit out of Amigo. Since these original comics no longer exist, (Author) decided to produce a remake, which is currently in production. It will be called Alphopolis and it will be released sometime mid-2009.
2007
Order!
2007 came around and (Author) had produced many comics already. Unfortunately, the only 2006 comic that still exists is the bad-quality A-You-Go Amigo, a parody of Star Wars, which is essentially the second comic in the first series of Cops & Robberz. (Author) came up with ideas for stories and characters and has already mapped out the whole of Cops & Robberz (how it will play out) in his head. He has come up with an order for everything and has put splits in the comics to separate different series'. Instead of naming a group of comics a series, (Author) came up with the word Generation, which more accurately describes it as the heroes will be changing frequently in each Generation.
More Comics
During the course of 2007, more comics were made and concept art was drawn. All this content and more can be found on the (NameOfCompany) Comics site [1]. At the end of 2007, (Author) decided to scan his comics onto his computer and upload them to the Internet.
Random Guy Comics
A friend of (NameOfCompany)'s, (friend), inspired (NameOfCompany) to make his own comic. (friend) established the character Random Guy and soon, Random Guy Comics had been created, the first Random Guy comic was created before the first 'copz and robberz'. (friend)'s comics were meant to be taken less seriously, as they had an increased quantity (and quality) of humour, while (NameOfCompany)'s comics had transformed into very serious stories with only a tiny smidge of comedy dropped in every now and then. To see the Random Guy Comics, visit the main site: randomguycomics.co.uk [2]
2008
Upgrades
2008 brought (Author)'s prototype website, using Piczo.com[3]. This contained concept art, the comics and information about upcoming comics. It was also about this time that (Author) and (friend) began making trailers for their comics and uploading them to YouTube[4] under the usernames CopsAndRobberz and RandomGuyComics, which still exist today. (friend) did it first though, so let me just say, "Thanks for the idea (friend)!".
Boffin - A Mutual Friend
(friend) had come up with a character, Boffin, as one of his characters in his series. Boffin is believed to be based on Lloyd Smith, a friend of (friend). His nickname was Boffin because of his ginger hair and glasses, and the fact that he knew everything about everything, although this not true, it is purely coincidetal that both the character and person are ginger homosexual geeks. This made him a very interesting character to have in a comic, and so he was included in both (NameOfCompany) Comics and in Random Guy Comics, as sort of a crossover character. His first appearance in (NameOfCompany) Comics was in The Rise of Biffon: System Failure, which (as the name states) was a failure.
More Plans
More and more comics had been made for Generation 1 now and it was past halfway completion. It was boviously going to take a long time before the second Generation was to start, but (Author) knew exactly how it was going to start. It just needed a little time.
"Meridian"
(Author) had come up with an idea for a second story that would run alongside Cops & Robberz. Meridian was originally intended to broaden the story of Boffin. It was supposed to follow Boffin through his life as he founded the energy weapons company, Bofftech, cryogenically froze himself and battled enemies in the future, all for the good of saving Earth. The first story Thaw is still in production, but it will be an extremely high-quality comic.
"Cops & Robberz Animationz"
(Author) had the idea to create an animated series of Cops & Robberz. He uses Pivot Stickfigure Animator, only the 3 Beta version, to create short animated adventures for the Cops & Robberz heroes. His first series had five parts, but they can all run as one animation, at least half an hour long altogether. For his second series, called Meteora (no reference to the Linkin Park album) he planned to make a feature-length animation. It was going to be all in one video, but since the maximum time limit of a YouTube upload is 10 minutes, the whole video would have to be cut down for PodCast, split into eight parts. But he plans to put the final full version onto DVD. (Author) is currently working on Cops & Robberz: Meteora - Part III.
2009
New Year, New Site
The brand new site was opened on January 9, 2009. It is being run be Microsoft Office Live: Small Business and already has all the content from the prototype site on it.
Let's see what the future brings, is it?

Remember that guy who looks like Amigo from A-You-Go Amigo? That's Enemigo, Amigo's brother.
Did you understand that?
Well, they did trap him in a package invented by a hi-tech company called Bofftech (owned by the gajillionaire Biffon), since this was the only way to stop him, and he couldn't be killed anyway.
Well, the package has been stolen by the criminal Adrian John, who has opened it and freed Enemigo for his reward of immortality.
Now, the cops Brandon, Amigo and George must take them down using the only thing that can - an ancient box buried deep (Author)eath the caves at Morbough that is said to contain all the secrets of the Universe.
And anyone who looks into this box will be blessed with amazing powers, more powerful than those of Enemigo...

A-You-Go Enemigo - TBA
Enemigo's back.
He first appeared in A-You-Go Amigo, where he was stored in a package, frozen in suspended animation; then in The Feature Length Trilogy, when he was released and eventually restored in the package, along with Amigo; and his latest appearance was in The Rise of Biffon, when he was shot with Boffin's calculator.
Boffin said that he was dead, finally gone.
But, knowing Enemigo, he wasn't going to go down that easy.
He was brought back by Viktor Ringleader's brother, the Chinese warlord, Xuen, who earned the complete worship, respect and control of Enemigo that was possible.
Now, Enemigo is a weapon, brainwashed by Xuen.
A damned 14th Century Chinese army has been resurrected by Enemigo, now that he possesses George's healing powers from before.
Brandon, Amigo and George have to stop the both of them and get George's powers back if they have a hope in hell of sending the Chinese army back to where they belong...

Centuries ago, the Dincortans came and they terra-formed the earth, turning the core into a control station for the warship they had turned the planet into.

Brandon tells the story of what exactly happened to him when he was Jarmok's prisoner in the Game World.
Elegy
The world falls under attack and the government soon figures out that since their most powerful weapons have no effect on the enemies, their only real option is to capture and use Migo, since he was last seen fighting off the Dincortans pretty well.
Problem is: he doesn’t want to be captured.
It’s a race against time to capture Migo and close the rift in space before a whole army of Dincortan ships and troopers come marching through...
Combination
The rift is still open and the Time Of Absolute Demise (TOAD) is nearing.
The rift is about to be closed when Teraku shows up.
He amazingly fuses with Migo and soon they have Migoraku on their hands.
Alec and Matt decide that the only way to stop Migoraku is to let the Dincortan army come through.
It’s a big risk, but hopefully as soon as they see the massive threat, they will destroy it.
The world waits in anticipation while the gigantic beast starts to destroy the planet.
The Human Mind
Alec and Matt wake up in a mysterious place.

Insane

Rendezvous
The time machine has been found.
Again.
And Jarmok has erased the past 10 years, and changed it to how he wants it.
Everything that has happened over the last three generations never happened.
Amigo never met Brandon and George, they couldn't stop Jack's invasion in time, and there is an ongoing nuclear war between the Dincortans and the Stemme, taking place on Earth.
The only people who remember the other time are Alec and Matt.
And they must track down the time machine and attempt to restore order, but to get to it, they're gonna need a miracle.
All against all.
In rendezvous.

The Future
It is uncertain whether or not a 5th Generation (or another comic) will be made. Due to lack of public interest, (NameOfCompany) comics is currently bankrupt, the creator (Author) is earning his money the old fashioned way...asking his mummy.
(NameOfCompany) Comics In Other Media
On The Edge
(NameOfCompany) Comics was involved in making the short film, "On The Edge", which can be found on YouTube under the username (Name). It starred (Author) and Adam Bowler. They play two cops who attempt to take down a murderous terrorist. It was made for their Media Studies class. This short movie made no sense, as it lacked a storyline. It was basically three teenage boys running around in a field with BB guns.
On The Edge II: Haven
Since the first performed so badly on YouTube and on other sites, (Author) and Adam decided to make a sequel, God help us. Haven is about a super-soldier who escaped from Project: Haven, an organisation involved in creating genetically advanced Super Humans. This short film is still in production, but the release date will be announced later this decade.
