It all kicks off on Friday with an opening party at The Miller, then on Saturday ...
Expo news
My comics are going on a North American tour – without me, however. *sniff!* MoCCA (9th-10th April) This weekend is the MoCCA festival in glittering New York City! I’m very pleased to say that there will be a contingent of Irish and UK comickers occupying no less than three tables at the festival. I hear ...
Shop news
You might be interested to know I’ve added some new stuff to the shop: my recent romantic maxi-minicomic, A Corner of Paradise, is there along with an lovely new reprint of Airship, the comic that Sarah McIntyre and I improvised a few years back.

London Small Press Expo II
I won’t be selling any Queen Mum comics at the expo as I’m currently putting a collection together which will have a load of new material. However, there will be royalty present at the table (or almost-royalty) in the form of our adored future queen: Kate Middleton minicomics! Containing excerpts from her fabulous diary! The ...
London Small Press Expo Stuff I
I’ve a few new things at the new Thing, i.e. the London SP Expo which replaces the Webcomix Thing. It’s this Saturday at Goldsmith’s College – details here. First up is this:
Thought Bubble
Thought Bubble was brilliant. I don’t know what else to say really… it was one of those events where the magic seemed to happen. Here’s a bit of magic – a statuette of the Queen Mum by brilliant cartoonist Rick Eades that was much admired for the rest of the day: Pic stolen from Sarah ...

Thoughts bubbling 3 & 4
I’ve posted about Solipsistic Pop #3 previously and finally got my hands on a copy at last Friday’s launch party. A poster and stickers, a pencil and sweets – it was all rather lovely. I spent the following Saturday morning happily rotting my teeth and reading brilliant comics. To complement the release of SP3, there’s ...
Thoughts bubbling… 2
“Royal greetings on this rather lovely day, Queen Matrophiles! It gives me great pleasure to announce that my great-grandson (the dull, balding one, not the saucy ginger one) has finally popped the question to his gold-digging, social climbing bimbo beautiful girlfriend! As part of the National Festival of Rejoicing, all Queen Mum Adventure comics will ...
Interview with Ellen Lindner
© Ellen Lindner Next Saturday I’ll be at the Thought Bubble comic festival in Leeds, a great event with a nice mix of mainstream and small press comics. Just the right size to be fun and sociable (and profitable) – I’m really looking forward to it. As part of the build-up I’ll be posting about ...
MCM Expo Report
I’ve got out of the habit of reporting on events as they are often little more than “I sat at a table and sold things and talked to nice people” which doesn’t always make for an exciting read, especially if you don’t remember to take any photos. However, the MCM Expo is an event that ...
MCM Expo
It’s the MCM Expo in London all this weekend. And that means fan art – you know the type of thing: Come join the comics/tv/film/games/cosplay madness! Here’s my review from last year. There’s a very interesting mix of comics stuff this time around, loads of which I’m unfamiliar with, so I’m bringing my pennies in ...
Solipsistic Pop launch party
Tom Humberstone has announced the details of a launch party for the new edition of the anthology Solipsistic Pop of which I’m a very happy contributor.
