Loki sniffs out some of the cool new comics we picked up at the Bristol Comics Expo…. or perhaps he just wants to eat them?
The Witch and other tales of the supernatural
By Willie Hewes, Karen Rubins & Gwen Korsten.

Always nice to see collections by female creators, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Interesting and fun tales of the supernatural with manga overtones. Enjoyed all three stories but my favourite was probably Shinagami, which I defy you not to laugh at.

The title says it all. A wonderful piece of whimsy with evocative art, and generally a lovely object to own.

Great to see a new episode in this comic soap starring characters that draw you in, and surreal moments that keep you reading. If you’re not already following it, why not? Check out the first 39 pages for free on Paul’s website.

Here’s a sneak peek at what should be the next major release from Factor Fiction – collecting strips from across the first seventeen issues of The Girly Comic in a shelf-friendly perfect bound edition, under a gorgeous Dez Taylor cover. Further down the line will be The Girly Comic Book Volume 2, collected strips from Violent! and Crazycrone: The Lee Kennedy Collection. And tomorrow, the world!
The Girly Comic Book Volume 1 will, all things being equal, debut at the Birmingham International Comics Show this October.

In December 2006, author and friend Craig Hinton died. Discussions were had about putting together a collection of stories in celebration of his life, and after a little while, the two editors (Adrian Middleton and David McIntee) started asking about for a third person to join the editorial team. In the past, I’ve been involved in a few such projects, or fanthologies as they were dubbed, so after some consideration, I came aboard.
Craig was a huge fan of comics, and it must be said, I know quite a few comics bods, so it seemed the obvious role for me to take on designing the book and getting an illustration for each story. Fast forward many months, and we’re almost there. We’re just awaiting final approval from Craig’s family, and we can get this baby out into the world, with all profits being donated to the British Heart Foundation.
