Near Whitley Bay today? Come and see us at the Fiesta, in the churchyard. Lots of other stalls and performances to see too!

Who's near Leeds today? Who loves comics and zines? What are you waiting for?! (PS Paperr Jamm is not us, we are not there) (But we are doing a soon-to-be announced comics/zine fair in Newcastle though on 19th October at Travelling Man, keep yer eyes peeled!)

Had a nice time at Sequential Scotland and Glasgow generally. Good city. Good comics event. Well done the team! Keep an eye on @sequential-scot.bsky.social for any future events!

I'm very glad I tabled at @sequential-scot.bsky.social yesterday. Sold more than expected & ran out of my most recent (partly cos I accidentally packed some faulty copies). Met inspiring artists, creators, and lovely parent-child relationships amongst the visitors. My boy's train mesmerised them.

All set up ready for CCCOOOMMMIIICCCSSS at @sequential-scot.bsky.social (Today! Glasgow! Til 5pm!)

TOMORROW! Glasgow? Indie comics? SEQUENTIAL SCOTLAND! We'll be there - look for our table & @mducked.bsky.social & @ellaitch.bsky.social! And loads of other great comics creators! And Alex is running a comic-making workshop- with INVENTIVE AND INTERESTING NARRATIVE/STRUCTURAL COMCS CHALLENGES!

Oh my god I’d forgotten all about these! Probably because of the immense amount of psychic damage caused by attempting a comic (poorly) imitating Anglo-Saxon art.

Wishing a very happy 70th birthday to Alan Moore! A good friend in the 1980s who helped me get my start in comics by introducing me to his editor Bernie Jaye at Marvel UK. And a funny and creative powerhouse too. His comics remain some of the greatest ever written. #AlanMoore
