#mcmcomiccon is over. It was pretty good, I tried out a new display which worked well. One thing though - the cover of Chamberlain, to state that it's about WW2, has a swastika on it. This has not been problematic at all before, but at this con, it caused some noticeable concern. /1

This weekend I will be at #MCMComicCon, table F-05. I'll have a new comic written by me and illustrated by Jeff Anderson, a satire about a man on the dole who is forced to volunteer as a henchman for a supervillain...

The new edition of Chamberlain has arrived! Same content but without the swastika on the cover. The book has proved really popular, although the first cover was a little controversial. I'll have copies at MCM and Thought Bubble, or you can buy either edition right now from www.bendickson.co.uk

My latest graphic novel, Silent Horizon, will be debuting at MCM London at the end of the month! Fully (digitally) painted and 5 years in the making, it's about an island community left to fend for itself when the outside world suddenly goes silent.

I mean it works as long as you are in Japan, can hang around in the queue for an hour or two until you are allowed to choose your tickets and are flexible about what day or time you go.
