Teaching comics to the whole of Year 8 at Todmorden High School! #Booktok #teachersoftiktok #teachertok #teacherlife #comics

Just read My Dad Fights Demons and it is a mix of really stupid (complimentary, think Beavis and butthead) and meta clever (I could quote panels at you all day but cba to do the required alt text so take my word from it, intertextual/multimedia cultural commentary abounds. Highly recommend!

UK Comics Laureate Bobby Joseph discussed his new graphic novel, My Dad Fights Demons, drawn by Abbigayle Bircham, on Shay Grewal's BBC London show last month, as well as his work empowering young people through the use of comics https://downthetubes.net/comics-laureate-bobby-joseph-on-the-bbc/

Teaching teachers from all over the UK how to use comics as a differentiation tool in the classroom! I also met another Laureate - the amazing @frank_cottrellboyce @cheltfestivals

As I begin the process of winding down as Laureate, there are many moments that will always bring a smile to my face. One includes helping young people in prison to empower their voices using comics. Will always be grateful for that opportunity to make a small difference!

Comic book author, graphic novelist and UK Comics Laureate Bobby Joseph has written a Commando story on sale from 6th November 2025 in TG Jones and other outlets, including digital platform Magzter.

Read "The Lions Of Ypres" in this week's batch of COMMANDOs - Story by Comics Laureate Bobby Joseph, Art by legend Mike Dorey. Really enjoyed it - felt like it could've almost been a lost chapter from CHARLEY'S WAR

It's so good to see a story foregrounding the Indian troops who fought to defend Britain and its Empire in the Great War of 1914-18. DC Thomson's Commando Comics 'The Lions of Ypres' - great stuff.

Comic Laureate, Bobby Joseph, has written his debut story for DC Thomson's, Commando. Bobby tells the story of 1.3 million Indian soldiers who fought as part of the British Indian Army in World War One, in 'The Lions of Ypres' www.linkedin.com/pulse/uk-com...

DC Thomson gave the lead story to its latest set of Commando comics, “The Lions of Ypres” a huge promotion at the weekend with a two-page feature in The Sunday Post. The story is a powerful tale… https://downthetubes.net/oft-forgotten-heroes-of-world-war-one-remembered-in-latest-new-commando-tales/

Going into TJ Jones to see if my comic, Commando - The Lions of Ypres is on the shelves! The book is only available till Thursday. So go and pick up a copy from your nearest store before it goes! #comics #postcolonial #diverseauthors youtube.com/shorts/0MD9S...

A rudeboy rolls into @todbookfest for two great events. A diversity and representation presentation on Sunday, and then on Monday, teaching over 170 secondary school kids how to create their own comic strip narratives. Todmorden, I got you! Let's go! Let's do this, see you soon! ;)

Today, my first ever Commando story hits the shelves and tells the tale of Indian soldiers in the muddy trenches of Belgium during WW1. I am very proud of this story. It is available from TG Jones or online from Magsdirect.co.uk and is only available for a week, so get it before it's gone!!

Unboxing my comp copies of Commando Comics: The Lions of Ypres, which is out this week (08/11/25). In this story, I wrote about an almost forgotten part of WW1 history, where Indian soldiers helped the British army against the German army. Available from newsagents and TG Jones nationwide! #comics

Teaching comics to over 120 Year 8s in the morning and afternoon? #noproblem #letsgo @mcrcityoflit.bsky.social

First of all, apologies. Just to clarify, it has to be an already published book and not a forthcoming title released in 2025/2026. Best wishes!

The Comics Laureate UK Graphic Novel list for 2025-2026 will be looking for graphic novels to be promoted to libraries. If you wish to be considered for the list, then inbox me a link to your work via Dropbox. Must have a valid UK publisher/ISBN number. Cut off DATE: 3rd Nov 2025. PLEASE SHARE! Ta!

Now can we do these kinds of numbers the next time I post championing an exciting emerging new comics artist? That would be nice.

Thank you Kit for attending! Appreciated. ❤️
