From Neil Cameron of Dumbass Comics:

Just a quick heads-up/spot of shameless self-promotion: The new issue of NEO magazine (issue 22, on sale 20 July, £3.70 from all good newsagents - or failing that, Borders) features a rather nifty 6-page full colour original comic strip by me (Neill Cameron, hello), describing me and my wife Di's recent trip to Japan, and all the funky things that happened therein. Featuring giant robots, manga cafes, drunken exuberance, and a Very Special Guest Appearance from indy comics superstar Sean Michael Wilson.

Thought it was worth reminding you all of the following:

If you're involved with small press comics and think BugPowder fails miserably at covering the stuff you're aware of then you're the perfect potential contributor, so get in touch (matthew@bugpowder.com).

The work of cartoonist and illustrator Mr Clement. Quite, quite wonderful. Also slightly reminiscent of the work of small presser Bridgeen Gillespie.

Longtime Comics International contributor Mike Conroy has just done his first job for the BBC, providing research for Waiting for Superman. Broadcast on Radio One on Monday night, it includes input from Dan Jurgens, Denny O'Neil and Grant Morrison as well as Superman Returns director Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh. (Via.)
