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.
