Do you like understated cuteness? Bit of will-they-wont-they drama? Woodland-y fairy magic stuff but with coherent and complex world-building? SMOOCHING? Then get this!

It's also worth noting that we picked the theme because Paper Jam itself turned 18 years old (now 19), old enough to drink in pubs and JOIN ITSELF. I don't think we've got anyone in who was born after it started yet, but it will happen. Horrifying how long I've been clarting around with comics.

Our post-covid-lockdown era comics have been: Sea (melancholy), Mythology (rude), Great Jam Parade (silly), and with Growing Up we are back round to melancholy again. I think those are our three main emotions and our next anthology is likely to be rude. Anyway, buy this, it's good.

We had a lovely launch, everyone drawing bicycles & badgers (because I correctly assert they are HARD TO DRAW & everyone's always trying to ANTAGONISE ME WITH CREATIVITY), thx all who came. You can now buy GROWING UP ...AND THAT from Newcastle Travelling Man & online at paperjamcomics.bigcartel.com

My Yee olden Riso prints from College Which I recently was trying to sell at the Paper Jam launch this past Saturday (for £15) Ko-Fi - ko-fi.com/jwaugh123

First page of my Riso comic featuring the original design for Crimson

2nd page featuring the OG design of Leanne and more of Crimson, this was also still back in the "figuring it out" phase so the Mechs where mechanical and communicated via a little SD head with the pilot

The last group are a bunch of raiders up to mischief

The old design for the Lightning character from Crimson Castle (can't remember her name off the top of my head, I still need to give her a redesign along with the others in her group)

This is also still that point where the Mech characters were more actual Mechs compared to Cyborgs

Pam or she was referred to at the time, PIAM (Prototype Independent Airborne Mech) again awaiting redesign and her character is very different from what I originally envisioned with her

I think she was also one of the first characters to have the Zone of Ender's influenced feet design too

I do love the orange and yellow colouring on this one
