One of my favourite contemporary science fiction authors, Australia’s own Marianne de Pierres, tells me that she’s managed to scratch two itches for the price of one, satisfying an urge to dabble in comics (previously as well as her excellent science fictionnovels her work has also inspired gaming and animation) and a very long held [...]

Missed this when Tom covered it in mid November. But worth mentioning now to get a very important artist’s viewpoint on the debate over digital comic piracy and the impact it has upon the artist’s livelihood. Artist of the award winning (and very good) A Distant Soil, Colleen Doran writes a well reasoned and vigorous [...]

From our continental correspondent – The Gripes of (digital) Wrath in France

From our continental correspondent – Next in comics: the commentary track

UK indy publisher Insomnia (who were behind the well-received Cancertown which went down a storm in our Belfast store during a signing and the new Burke and Hare graphic novel) are, like many publishers, joining the digital market.
