Friday, October 2, 2009
Following yesterday’s terrific chat between Bryan Talbot and Pádraig Ó Méalóid (which can be read here) today we bring you the second half, where we mostly move on to more recent work from Bryan, such as the magnificent, years-in-the-making Alice in Sunderland, cross-gender anonymity with the ‘Veronique Tanaka’ silent comic experiment (which took me in, [...]

Regular readers will know that we’ve been following Garen Ewing‘s delightful Rainbow Orchid series with great pleasure for some years, in limited print versions and online and we’ve kept up with Garen as it progressed, so it seemed right that now Egmont have published the first Rainbow Orchid book (I’m tempted to use the European [...]
