Comic Kingdom
Went to an interesting comic/ graphic novel exhibition in the local library this morning. I took some pictures and thought that some of you might be interested-
I pop in and out, mine has a shop, exhibition space and museum attached. Used to have a lovely cafe which sadly closed. I also go to print things off. Alan Tradgardland P.S must confess l haven’t borrowed books for years from it
I learned to read before I went to school - I wanted to know what the characters were saying among all the illustrations in eg The Eagle. And I'll always remember the inspirational cut-away drawings.
Ah, the Eagle. Out on a Wednesday, iirc. My brother and I only got to read on a Saturday when my father passed it to us. He had obviously read it and, by the look of it, most of R Division, Metropolitan Police had read it too. I recently returned to Graphic novels (comics) with Tom Clancy's 'Division' series. There his a near future wargame in there suitable for Dr, John Lambshead's One Hour Skirmish Wargame ruleset, I wouldn't wonder
Excellent reading material for the police, l can almost imagine the excitement as a new comic comes in… I was keen on 2000AD in my teens twenties especially Slaine and Judge Dredd. When I taught l went to an inspiring twilight about using graphic novels in teaching and used them in the classroom a bit afterwards. I find the current scene almost too big to dive into. In Copenhagen there is a wonderful comic shop l really enjoyed browsing in. Terrific artwork. Alan Tradgardland
That looks very interesting. Another good reason for going to the library. (I haven’t been since before Covid).

ReplyDeleteSplendid material to gain inspiration from. I have always had a soft spot for it though I never got it regularly.
