Press Release – Comic strip written by comedian Frankie Boyle is released digitally for the first time!
Exploding out of the pages of CLiNT, the trailblazing comics magazine from KICK-ASS creator Mark Millar and Titan magazines, Frankie Boyle’s twisted comic strip is now available for iPhone and iPad!
REX ROYD, by outspoken Scottish comedian and writer Frankie Boyle, introduces “The Renaissance Man of Madness” in a spectacular serialised comic. Drenched in the blackest of humour, Boyle weaves the barrier-shattering adventures of Rex Royd, a Lex Luthor-style super-scientist and businessman. Along with his close-knit support staff including Eve, the first woman, and his invincible head of security, Alan Black, Rex is out to change the world whether we want him to or not!

Four brain-twisting episodes are available now to read on the iPhone and iPad via the Titan Comics app, with the fifth chapter coming soon to CLiNT.
“I first got into comics properly when I was about 21, digging down through stacks in my friends’ bedrooms,” says Boyle. “I’d read maybe half a dozen different issues of Justice Society of America before I worked out who everybody was, but it never really got in the way of the fun. That’s the idea with Rex, it’s only 11 pages a month, so not everything makes sense over a couple of issues, but hopefully there’s enough ultraviolence and naked travesty to keep people interested till the full story takes shape.”
“It’s a pleasure to bring this comic to brand-new digital readers,” says CLiNT¹s editorial manager, Andrew James. “It’s a chance for fans of Frankie Boyle to see him outside his comfort zone, without a safety net, writing a true passion project.”
Rex Royd comics by Frankie Boyle are now available to read on the iPhone and iPad. (£0.69 / $0.99 each) Search for the Titan Comics app in the app store or visit CLiNTmag.com.
A new season of Rex Royd comics starts in CLiNT #12 on sale 24 November making this the perfect time to catch up with Boyle’s scathing supervillain satire!
