Nottingham Comic Con Sketches I
Many thanks to Nottingham Comic Con for having me as a guest on Saturday – it's a fun family show and the boy and I had a great time.
Here's the first sketch from the show; more to follow over the next few days...

Nottingham Comic Con
I'll be attending the Nottingham Comic Con this weekend. All the usual tat will be on display, but also new for this year's show I'll have the book collection of Abigail and the Snowman as well as my latest Fred the Clown graphic novel, The Iron Duchess.
Sketching will occur.
And I'm on a panel about what it's like to work with big licenses, which I used to do quite a bit of (and I think this year's Betty Boop series probably counts, just about).
Here's an image I drew for promotional purposes for last year's show. This time around, I've contributed a one-page strip for their convention anthology, Forest Tales, so you might want to look out for that as well. It's packed with a stellar array of talented contributors – you can find out more about it here.

Abigail and the Snowman
So – the collected edition of Abigail and the Snowman is finally, officially coming out tomorrow! (Also available to order online from Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, or directly from Boom! Studios.) I first started looking for a publisher for this project about five years ago but got nowhere with it at the time. Later, Boom! Studios asked me to pitch them a few ideas, so I included this one among them, not expecting them to go for it... but they did! So big thanks to them for enabling the book to finally happen.
I'd always seen it as a single, stand-alone story in one volume (its serialisation last year was a compromise, to fit in with Boom!'s standard publishing model), so it's a big deal for me to see it finally appear as I originally intended.
And, of course, I will have copies for sale this weekend at the Nottingham Comic Con.
