Being at the top of the homepage right above Chip Zdarsky's face is pretty cool too.

This page was inspired by (very) old school Grand Theft Auto. Art, of course, by Si Smith. It’s from our book Gigs.

@iandunt.bsky.social Hullo! Listening to your ep about Luddism & would very much like to send you my comic, Gigs, about... well, a bunch of the stuff you were talking about in the episode. It's (this IS embarrassing to type) somewhat critically acclaimed. www.publishersweekly.com/9781603095938

Si knows what having a good time looks like. We've got a story in @sxbond.bsky.social's upcoming subCULTURE anthology, and I can't wait to look at the rest of it. #comics #subculture #rave #folkhorror

Proper looking forward to seeing what else is in there. Here's a little slice of Si and I's contribution.

Here's OUR librarian. She gets about. This is the bookplate Si did for La Belle Adventure. Also, it's worth saying that while Gigs isn't Si's debut, it is very much his graphic novel too, and he does get appropriate kudos in the review...

Another starred review 🫠 "VERDICT Mosedale’s debut graphic novel, an impressively humane work of speculative fiction, is intense, riveting, and profound." - @libraryjournal.bsky.social www.libraryjournal.com/review/gigs-...

Absolutely stonking launch for Gigs yesterday. Massive thanks to everyone who came to help us kick it out into the world, and especially to @okcomics.bsky.social. Without OK, this book just wouldn't exist. It was a big, emotional day for me. Very proud.

Proper chuffed that GIGS is @davidharper.bsky.social's graphic novel of the week. SKTCHD is such a good site, and in a world where everyone's pivoted to video for the 14th time, we're lucky to have such thoughtful written comics criticism. sktchd.com/column/the-p...

I decided it wasn't my business to dictate page structure on my and Si Smith's book, Gigs, but he used the nine for a big chunk of it and got a lot out of it. Great for emphasising the repetition of daily life (important to the book) and then allowing a bit of joy to really pop.

I've got a dystopian-ish graphic novel coming out in a few weeks and Si, my collaborator, used the grid for similar, oppressive effect. We also used a few montages to emphasise repetition that the grid served really well (and it also allowed a few moments of joy to really pop out).

You'd think I'd have got round to bellowing about the announcement of GIGS on here before now. But, here on the occasion of my favourite comics site, @sktchd.bsky.social, writing about it, is some news. Thank you, @davidharper.bsky.social, for the kind words. sktchd.com/column/comic...

Mugshots! By @jordanthomas.bsky.social and Chris Matthews, published by @madcavestudios.com. You can tell from the cover what a lovely eyeful it is, and based on issue 1 I reckon the writing's going to do the business too.

When Hawkman isn't a guy in a hawk mask, but a guy with a hawk's head on top of his head, he's the absolute creepiest. The new issue of The Vertigo Weekly Reader will be out soon, guest starring the Justice League being a bit feckless. markmosedale.substack.com
