Abby's Sketchbook: BICS 2010
http://abigailryder.blogspot.com/2010/10/bics-2010.html
Monday, 18 October 2010. Oh dear. I don't think we were very popular at BICS this year. This is what our spot actually looked like:. We had a fantastic time at BICS this year and Hall 2 felt just right. We had great company with us, our friend Tom joined us as part of team Dumpy Little Robot and took us down. Helped us with boxes, watched our table, found amazing food places and was his usual fantastic self. He's on Twitter as @ThermobaricTom and you should all go and say hi! Again, the loveliest people:.

Just another WordPress.com weblog. The Improbability Of The British Super Hero. On March 10, 2012. AND I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY MASKED CRIME-FIGHTERS I PERSONALLY KNOW. JUST SAYING. Hmm Don’t you understand? Think about it we have no skyscrapers! How can you have American style super heroes in England? Firstly, as I pointed out to Dave White, we are the UK. Britain. You think of characters for a comic as being English you are excluding Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Why? Clem Macy, television news reporte...

On Pricing Books | Comic Bits II
https://hoopercomics.wordpress.com/2012/02/29/on-pricing-books
Just another WordPress.com weblog. On February 29, 2012. I have just finished editing and have now uploaded a 20 pp book on lulu.com ready for publishing but I’ve just hit the big snag. See, I can buy a copy of the book for myself at 1.55. Not bad? Well, the postal service lulu uses means the cheapest rate is 2.99 so the book will actually cost me 4.54. So those 20 copies will cost 52.99. So I have to work out how how a copy I can charge. So, say, 53.00 divided by 20 and that’s 2.65 a copy. You are comme...

Take A Clean Sheet Of Paper : a blog about comics / graphic novels: Tom & Jerry Annual 1973
http://takeacleansheetofpaper.blogspot.com/2012/11/tom-jerry-annual-1973.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. Tom and Jerry Annual 1973. We approach the mid-70s and the Tom and Jerry cartoon has all gone a bit. hippie and peace and love. Tom is no longer trying to catch the mice but instead is drinking tea with them and generally chilling out with them. That soon changes however but even then when he is catching them its because of some ulterior motive (i.e. money) than anything else. Labels: tom and jerry. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Take A Clean Sheet Of Paper : a blog about comics / graphic novels: The Golden Age Of DC Comics - 365 Days
http://takeacleansheetofpaper.blogspot.com/2011/12/golden-age-of-dc-comics-365-days.html
Tuesday, December 13, 2011. The Golden Age Of DC Comics - 365 Days. If you are not familiar with these kinds of books, 365 Days volumes, they have an entry for every day of the year (natch) on a specific subject, the daily subject often having a tie in with what the relevant date is. The Golden Age of DC Comics: 365 Days. In fact that is the only criticism of this excellent volume, i wish there was an easy way to read the rest of some of the stories featured in here!

Take A Clean Sheet Of Paper : a blog about comics / graphic novels: Heather & Rose - the prickly pair (Judy Story Picture Library For Girls 223)
http://takeacleansheetofpaper.blogspot.com/2012/02/heather-rose-prickly-pair-judy-story.html
Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Heather and Rose - the prickly pair (Judy Story Picture Library For Girls 223). Following on from my review of a Judy annual. Lets review a picture story library book too. All of the popular comics especially from the DC Thomson stable produced these handy sized pamphlets back in the 70s and 80s, concentrating on just the one story. The one is about some girls from a Scottish children's home who go down to London to stay at a children's home there. Asterix and the cauldron.

Take A Clean Sheet Of Paper : a blog about comics / graphic novels: Asterix the gladiator
http://takeacleansheetofpaper.blogspot.com/2012/03/asterix-gladiator.html
Thursday, March 22, 2012. Cacofonix is captured by the Romans and taken to Rome to be presented to Caesar. The great man for some reason does not really want a Gaulish bard with Cacofonix's "unique" voice so sends him off to the arena to be eaten by lions. Asterix and Obelix travel to Rome to rescue their friend and find the best way to do that is to become gladiators and enter the arena themselves. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Friday, November 9, 2012. Tom and Jerry Annual 1979. This annual includes some later artwork and the drawings arn't quite as good as before. The stories are up to spec though and include a memorable one where Tom becomes an ice skating waiter at a mountain top cafe in Switzerland. Labels: tom and jerry. Thursday, November 8, 2012.

Through the doors of swanky new Gosh comics in Soho, for the launch of the new issue of Rich Cowdry’s Comix Reader, I’m preceded by 80 s Zine Doyen, the eternally youthful Paul Gravett, who remembers who I am, but can’t remember.
