Off to Lille!

Stickleback © 2006 Rebellion/2000AD
Created by Ian Edginton & Me.

I'm away for the signing in Lille today, so I'm not sure how many posts I'll manage; between quaffing vin rouge, signing (and working on Stickleback part 7, honest Mr. Tharg), not many I suspect :-)

If you're able to come along, details of the festival are here.

Also, don't forget the big Birmingham do this weekend, where Ian will be signing copies of all our books, including Leviathan. As usual, if you buy a book direct from us, we include a signed bookplate.

Finally; I'm not sure when 2000AD Prog 2007 will be out, but just in case it's before I get back, that'll have the first episode of Stickleback (a ten-pager, too). I was hoping to put together a post about the artist whose work strongly influenced the new style I'm using for Stickleback, Alberto Breccia, but time hasn't permitted so far. There's a good overview of his career here, and here's a direct link to the entry on Perramus, the strip that was the main inspiration for the Stickleback "look."
