Bristol International Comic Expo - exclusive!

Here's some exciting news for Rainbow Orchid readers - Egmont (my publisher) have been completely fabulous and will have 50 copies of volume 2 available to buy at the Bristol International Comic Expo on the weekend of 22-23 May 2010. This is over a month before the book is officially released across the nation on July 5th.

On top of that, I'm totally chuffed to be doing a talk alongside one of the UK's long-time comic-creating heroes, Glenn Dakin, who has a new novel out called Candle Man. The talk will take place at the Mercure Hotel, 2pm, on Saturday 22nd May. Tickets for the weekend are going fast - so book now if you can - there's a superb line-up of guests throughout the whole weekend.

  4. I was about to grumble that we have to wait till July. But then I realized that a third of the year has slipped away already so it's not actually that long!

  5. It has all gone amazingly fast - my head is deep into vol 3 at the moment, so it feels weird having to gear up to lots of vol 2 stuff. No chance you can make it to Bristol, Dave?

  6. Garen, I love that Bristol poster, I'd already seen it over on the expo site, but wanted to say how great it is! I always appeciate a taty bit of typography! And it goes without saying that everything you've done with RO is absolutely awesome, and the cover of book 2 is sooooo nice. Good luck at Bristol, I'm sure either Bob or I will have a good old chat with you there!
