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-








On until the 14th January 2023-

  1. That looks very interesting. Another good reason for going to the library. (I haven’t been since before Covid).

    1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

  3. 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

  4. 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.
