Its hard not to be impressed by the range of talent on offer in the Comic Village.
Were usually best known for our anthologies, we release one every year.
Thats a bit like a showcase for new and established creators, writers artists.
So far weve published two.
Each work is filled to the brim with personality and invention.
Hardiman specialises in understated, emotionally-affecting comics that are well-described by his website address http://www.cutebutsad.co.uk.
Its all very quiet and very sombre.
A woman came along earlier on, and picked up my new book, and she went …
I love this, and this is really good, and I really want to give you money.
and I dont know if I was meant to feel good or bad about that!
Hed be there in the scene, and Id be like how does Xander do that?
he gets punched once and falls to the ground.
So I was thinking, wouldnt it be quite interesting to have that as the heroine.
What if the heroine didnt have any powers.
So instead of running across town, shed have to get the bus.
Part of the appeal, and welcoming inclusiveness of these small press gatherings is the sense of camaraderie.
Its a great opportunity to get under the skin of comics.
