it’s such a lovely looking collection!

Julia Round @hypnojoo.bsky.social · 29d

Yes! Def in a few Misty stories - one that scared me was Flight of Fear where the character has a night she is thrown into a plague pit… there is also Black Agnes set in London plague. I have a database of plot summaries at juliaround.com/misty - if any sound familiar I can post scans…

Time to shamelessly promote this new #comicsstudies collection ‘Horror and Comics’ - edited by me, @barbarachamberlin.bsky.social and @komkunyosying - and packed with #horror themed goodness and looking at a global selection of comics! Due to be published by university of wales press next month.

it looks like you're writing a novel @gr8writingtips.bsky.social · Apr 11

in a world of reboots and remakes and sanitised slush you gotta fight back by writing something really really fucking Weird

Julia Round @hypnojoo.bsky.social · Mar 10

HB is excellent, I also loved B&B and Livestock too, tho it’s not horror. Ah I hope you like Misty - the Rebellion reprints have been solid, the Jaime Rumeu collection from Rebellion is almost all Misty stuff too and some of the best!

Julia Round @hypnojoo.bsky.social · Mar 10

Ah thanks - you too! I went out for rugby and karaoke and now have no voice for my sins 😆 How’s life?

Julia Round @hypnojoo.bsky.social · Mar 9

Some of my faves (both recent and otherwise) are The low, low woods (machiado & dani) Locke and Key (Hill & Rodriguez). Adamtine (Berry). Wytches (Snyder & Jock). Misty (if you like old comics!)

Gosh! Comics @goshcomics.bsky.social · Mar 7

We’re currently running a competition where the winner will get £50 store credit to spend at Gosh! To enter, simply follow us on Bluesky (if you're seeing this, then there's a good chance you already do)!

Proud to have a new article in The @uk.theconversation.com, co-written with @bournemouthuni.bsky.social’s Julia @hypnojoo.bsky.social Round, about @veradrew22.bsky.social’s groundbreaking LGBTQI+ superhero film The People’s Joker theconversation.com/the-peoples-...

The People’s Joker remixes familiar characters to create a new kind of comic book movie

This Joker is supported by a slew of recognisable Batman villains, such as the Riddler, Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy.
