My answer to the “what perks are there to being involved in comics commentary?” question on the ‘Comics and Journalism” panel at @captioncomicfest.bsky.social yesterday was a succinct one. “I get to make a real difference for people who deserve to have a real difference made for them.”

There's a #BF6toWatch panel at @captioncomicfest.bsky.social this year. I know the line-up because I put it together and it is truly awesome! You're going to meet some of the UK's true indie comics rising stars at Caption in August. captionfestival.co.uk/2026/04/13/c...

A screenshot from the Caption site. The text about its aims reads: "Pirate Caption will take place 8th – 9th August 2026 at Seacourt Hall, Oxford, OX2 9TH. Caption is a Comics Festival with a difference: no segregation between guests and attendees."

An amazing and well-deserved rave review of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists graphic novel. So it'll come as no surprise that the Rickard Sisters latest book has been shortlisted in this year's British Book Awards. It's another absolute cracker! rickardsisters.com/product/this...

Cover design of This Slavery graphic novel by the Rickard Sisters. 2 sisters, Hester and Rachel stand back to back in a cobbled terraced street, against a dramatic fiery orange and red sky of 1910 industrial Lancashire mills. Peeking out from behind Rachel's long skirts is the cheery white face of Jip the dog, adding a touch of hope and humour to the scene.
