Cats in Cardigans: London Illustration Fair 2014
Frances covered Lush’s Sandlewood Smugglers launch for us so well that we sent her out again. Do you have an indie comics, illustration, otherwise WWAC-friendly event coming up in London? Let us know! It’s bloody freezing in London at the moment, and the woodland animals of the city’s illustration scene are very sensibly wearing their warmest…
Local Comic Shop Visit: Pieces & Pages
There are a lot of comic book shops between Ann Arbor’s Vault of Midnight and Dearborn’s Green Brain Comics, and after moving to Wayne County I taste-tested most of them Goldilocks style.

Addicted to Ladies Night
I’m sure it was Fate, that blustery, not quite spring day, when my friend and I ventured off to Toronto Comic Con. I was determined to find a copy of Jeremy Whitley’s Princeless, but none of the vendors had heard of it — until I got to Comic Book Addiction. Yes, we love Princeless, they…
