Regular slugs of news for the UK Small Press Comics Nation (huh?)
March 12 2007

Oli Smith (of TSR2 fame, see right-hand-column of this website) writes:
"www.idlechild.co.uk Has been fully revamped and updated with news on forthcoming projects, a first look at my latest comics and the long awaited, fully comprehensive, idlechild convention report on Caption 2006. I'm hoping people will have a look around and tell me what they think.

Also I will have my own table at the webcomixthing2007 where I will be selling my two latest comics 'Window' and 'The Last four Minutes' as well as experimental convention exclusive; 'Marina says, Simply Oli says' and a four page story in the convention programme entitiled 'Abigail's Secret'. See you there.
"


While we're on the subject, I should probably mention that I also have a strip in the aforementioned convention anthology, as have a veritable who's who of UK small press superstars. You should attend the thing, and buy everything.

Theres a petition currenty running on the Prime Ministers website:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to award knighthoods to John Wagner, Pat Mills and Alan Grant, in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the great British comic, 2000AD.

Few comics have reached their 10th anniversary, let alone their 30th. 2000AD, and its flagship character Judge Dredd, are just about to pass this milestone. The last mainstream British comic still in circulation, 2000AD has nurtured great British writing and artistic talents now in huge demand worldwide.

We believe that a good way to recognise this achievement would be to reward the founding editor, Pat Mills, and the comic's other two mainstay writers, John Wagner and Alan Grant, by making them knights of the realm.
