Comicking

Welcome to an occasional collection of comics art, news, snippets and stories of note. Once a month, I'll bring the easter egg extras that don't make it to my regular columns, but are a tasty treat nonetheless.

Last month, I wrote of BBC's Eggheads' revenge on comic's creators, and Sean Azzopardi's appearances everywhere.

This time round, reviews of some comics I've enjoyed and themes of cinema and mental disorders. The times we're living in...

First though, I enjoyed some great comics last night. Oliver East's 2005 "The House of Fire To Black Hill", a clever piece on hill walking and map musing. Richard Cowdry at Bugpowder writes East's  "new comic is now online and free to read in your own time. It's REALLY good."

Believable.
 

Liz Greenfield's "Stuff Sucks" also arrived in the mail. A neat little CD sized comic in a little CD sized slipcase. A bargain at only £4. Contact Liz on her website to find out if there are any left. Such pretty pictures!

Oliver Lambden was at the Angouleme Festival earlier this month with other British Artists Standing Tall And Reaching Distant Shores. Amusing and insightful blog report here.
