This is out in comic shops today. It's an anthology comic to aid the PTSD needs of the survivors of the Grenfell Tower Fire. I think it's well worth supporting.

Last year there was an anthology of prose shorts performing a similar function, called 24 Stories. This is twenty-four comics, half drawn from professionals we curated, and half from open submissions. Each features no more than 24 panels.

There's a lot more information on the site, but it's in all your comic shops now. It's in book shops shortly – Amazon has it for a week's time, so you can pre-order from a standard book shop. All proceeds goes to Trauma Response Network.

Contributors? They include... Al Ewing, Alan Moore, Alex de Campi, Antony Johnston, Caspar Wijngaard, Dan Watters, Dilraj Mann, Doug Braithwaite, Gavin Mitchell, Laurie Penny, Leigh Alexander, Lizz Lunney, Melinda Gebbie, Paul Cornell, Rachael Smith, Ram V, Robin Hoelzemann, Ro Stein, Sara Kenney, Sarah Gordon, Ted Brandt, Tom Humberstone and more. Tula Lotay provided the cover. Dee Cunniffe did the design.As well as the 24 comics, I provide an introduction, in a collaboration with my old friend Sean Azzopardi.

There's a launch party on December 6th, betwee 7 and 9pm, at GOSH in London. Yes, that's the same evening as my DIE signing at Forbidden Planet. I'm having a busy night.

It's tricky to write about. I write about what it means to me, I make it about me. I write about Grenfell, and anger overpowers everything, and while that's correct, this is not a book that's primarily about anger. It's about hope and helping one another. Choosing the material was definitely one of the hardest things about it – it's for a PTSD charity. By definition, we don't want material that can be triggering. That isn't to say it doesn't include some material that's powerful and angry – but it's precisely aimed. It's also a true anthology, with us trying to capture the variety in the comics community in style and approach.

Everyone has done amazing work in it, and I hope you support it. It's a hell of a thing.

Best Of British: Black Leather Brings Azzopardi And Noble Back Together

Best Of British: Black Leather Brings Azzopardi And Noble Back Together

In this all too infrequent look at the British comics scene, I’m here to champion a scene I’ve been involved with for many, many years. The strength and depth of quality in British comics is huge with some incredibly talented writers, artists, self-publishers, micro-publishers, and more.

Here, it’s a tale of growing up, bikers, heavy metal in Black Leather…

So… Black Leather. I’ve already…

Agora (2009)

Adventure, Biography, Drama |

Agora is a Spanish English-language historical drama film directed by Alejandro Amenábar and written by Amenábar and Mateo Gil. The biopic stars Rachel Weisz as Hypatia, a mathematician, philosopher and astronomer in late 4th-century Roman Egypt, who investigates the flaws of the geocentric Ptolemaic system and the heliocentric model that challenges it. Surrounded by religious turmoil and social unrest, Hypatia struggles to save the knowledge of classical antiquity from destruction. Max Minghella co-stars as Davus, Hypatia’s father’s slave, and Oscar Isaac as Hypatia’s student, and later prefect of Alexandria, Orestes.

In 391 AD, Alexandria is part of the Roman Empire, and Greek philosopher Hypatia is a teacher at the Platonic school, where future leaders are educated. Hypatia is the daughter of Theon, the director of the Musaeum of Alexandria. Hypatia, her father’s slave, Davus, and two of her pupils, Orestes and Synesius, are immersed in the changing political and social landscape. She rejects Orestes’s love as she prefers to devote herself to science. Davus assists Hypatia in her classes and is interested in science. He is also secretly in love with her.

Meanwhile, social unrest begins challenging the Roman rule of the city as Pagans and Christians come into conflict. When the Christians start defiling the statues of the pagan gods and cause one of their priests to burn in a fire, the pagans, including Orestes and Theon, ambush the Christians. However, in the ensuing battle, the pagans unexpectedly find themselves outnumbered by a large Christian mob.

Best Of British: Sean Azzopardi Calls Last Orders

Best Of British: Sean Azzopardi Calls Last Orders

Last time we talked Sean Azzopardi, it was with his comic, 50, back in 2018. Now, a year plus on, it’s time to shine the Best of British spotlight on him again, with Last Orders, a collection of short tales on drinking issues, illness, old friends, memories of younger, better times… it might sound downbeat, but it’s anything but.

Azzopardi’s relationship with alcohol is something he’s talked…

Debuting at TCAF 2017 - After The Sessions by Sean Azzopardi and Douglas Noble

Over the course of a day, images return unbidden to therapist Karen Quinlan’s memory, brought on by the messy stories and everyday complaints of her clients. A key, or a beach, or a sunset. The things that she thought she had left behind. In After The Sessions, Karen will discover that the things she thought were gone are still very much with her.

This is the fourth collaboration between Sean Azzopardi and Douglas Noble, following Sightings of Wallace Sendek, Pirouette and Built of Blood and Bricks.

“That’s what time does.”

This is the third issue of a five part series.
