Babble

The final major UK comic convention of 2011 is almost upon us in the shape of Thought Bubble, the annual Leeds comic art festival. The event runs from 14th-20th November, and this year the main convention has been expanded to a two day event, with a huge mixture of people from the UK comics scene, and, of course, some special guests from across the pond. Our publishing overlords Com.X will be there, too, selling their wares and promoting their upcoming books.

We’ve had a long discussion about getting some previews of Babble ready for the con, and we’ve come to a pretty difficult decision: we’re not going to be having any on display with Com.X.

It’s not something we’ve taken lightly, but the main reasons behind it are pretty simple: we’re so very, very close to the end that it almost seems counter productive to stop now and go back to re-edit preview pages. However, I – Lee – will be there at the con, wandering the floor on Saturday, so if you’re so inclined, come and find me and ask me anything you want to about Babble. Not much of a consolation for the lack of previews, I know, but, hey.

However, if you absolutely must have some of our pre-Babble collaborations in your possession, Accent UK will be there, too, selling their anthologies Robots, Western and Predators – all of which feature strips by us!

And, if you want more of our work, head on over to the FutureQuake booth and grab yourself a copy of the latest issue of Zarjaz, where you’ll find ABC Warriors: Broken Dreams by us! Just look out for this rather scrotnig cover from Staz Johnson!

So, if you’re heading to Thought Bubble this year, be sure and grab copies of all four! And maybe even swing by the Com.X booth and ask them about Babble.
