Some other folks you should be following - @chipcollective.bsky.social, run by @ashlingdraws.bsky.social and @tsundernova.bsky.social, is a collective focused on educational comics. They put out really thoughtful and informative books and are well worth keeping an eye on.

Be amazing if £1.5m could be invested in the UK comics scene, wouldn’t it? Someone’d need to build a fully-costed, well-reasoned argument to DCMS for such a thing first, I guess…

WELL, NOW. Come see what your friends at CCIC have done! www.thecomicsculturalimpactcollective.org/CCIC%20DCMS%...

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Naomi, one of the incredible people who shared her story for "Living With Cancer: Our Stories". Naomi was a ray of light, kindness, and joy, and it was truly an honour and a privilege to have worked with her to share her story.
