MCM Expo was great. Thanks to everyone who came out to the Comic Village, and the panels I appeared on, and especially to the many people who picked up WASTELAND for the first time. Getting there and back with my stock of books was somewhat of a pain, but definitely worth it, and I hope to return next year.
Next month, however, I’ll be at Thought Bubble in Leeds. The full programme for the festival is now online; I’ll have a table, plus I’m on two Saturday panels, and I’ll list it all here closer to the time.
WOLVERINE: PRODIGAL SON has made it onto two prestigious shortlists: The American Library Association/YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens, and the Texas Library Association Maverick Graphic Novels Reading List. Libraries are one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors for graphic novel reading in the USA, so this is awesome.
Movie news: THREE DAYS IN EUROPE has a writer attached, and F Gary Gray talks about his take on JULIUS.
I’ve been recruited to work on another of those ‘out of left field’ projects I seem to fall into with some regularity. This one’s a bit closer to home than most, but still quite a surprise. More details very soon, I should think.
Finally: my good friend Drew Gilbert — animator, traveller, artist of ROSEMARY’S BACKPACK and all round great guy — is attempting this year’s Tough Guy challenge in celebration of impending fatherhood. Drew is doing this in aid of Free Arts NYC, so he needs sponsorship, and is offering cartoon portraits for donations of $35+. Follow his training progress, and please consider helping him out.

13th October 2009 / Appearances
Once again, I’m attending the MCM Expo in London this month, where the nascent comic village is rapidly growing in size and attendees with every event.
For once, I’ll have my own table — I’m at booth C21, which as you can see from that link is just across the aisle from Avatar Press. I’ll also be appearing at the main signing area next to the comic village info booth, taking part in a couple of panels, and likely signing at Avatar’s booth too. So if you’re attending and you want to seek me out, here’s where I’ll be:
General
My booth is number C21. When not at one of the following events, I’ll be there with a selection of signed books for sale, including a small supply of COLLECTED SCRIPTS: VOLUME ONE.
Saturday
11.40-12.20 Signing in the main area. From 12 onwards I’ll be joined by DEAD SPACE artist Ben Templesmith.
3.15-4.00 I’m on the Comics Without Frontiers panel, discussing comics’ influence and integration with movies, videogames, cartoons, novels and all the rest of it.
Sunday
2.00-2.40 Comic Village Showdown, a panel game wherein two teams, one each of writers and artists, go head-to-head to determine which is best. Our victory is inevitable, of course, but you have to let the artists at least have a go.
3.20-4.00 Signing in the main area. Ben will be joining me once again, this time from 3.40 onwards.
I really enjoyed the Expo when I attended last autumn, and with the sheer number of quality guests, it looks to be even better this time around. Well worth the trip if you’re anywhere near London.
(I’ll also be appearing at Thought Bubble in Leeds next month. More details on that closer to the time.)
