Award-winning Graphic Novelist Bryan Talbot Makes Exclusive Birmingham Appearance!

The internationally award-winning comic book creator Bryan Talbot returns to Birmingham on Saturday April 7th for an exclusive West Midlands signing at Nostalgia & Comics to celebrate his new book Alice in Sunderland.

Published by Jonathan Cape in the UK, Alice in Sunderland promises to be another graphic novel blockbuster for Talbot, weaving myth, history and the craft of storytelling to link the northern town with Lewis Carroll and his inspiration Alice Lidell, plus offer the unlikeliest of walk-on parts courtesy of Carry On film star Sid James!

Bryan Talbot began his career in the British underground comix scene of the seventies. His The Adventures of Luther Arkwright was one of the first true graphic novels and remains popular around the world. For Britain’s long-running sci-fi weekly comic 2000AD he successfully took over as artist on Nemesis the Warlock and work for America has included stints on Batman, Hellblazer and The Sandman. Talbot’s focus however remains on creator-owned stories such as The Tale of One Bad Rat where his delicate thematic use of the work of Beatrix Potter with that of child abuse not only gave him more deserved awards but is used as an educational tool in several schools, universities, and child abuse centres in Britain and North America.

Bryan Talbot will be chatting and signing copies Alice in Sunderland along with his other books and comics at Nostalgia & Comics from 12 noon - 2pm on Saturday April 7th so fans are advised to arrive early to avoid queuing!

Nostalgia & Comics is at 14-16 Smallbrook, Queensway, Birmingham. For further information telephone: 0121 643 0143 or email: noscomic@noscomic.plus.com
