Article: PG Previews May 2013
Posted: March 24, 2013

From a classic Franco-Belgian all-ages comedy by the creator of The Smurfs to the eagerly awaited debut graphic novel by the winner of the 2010 Observer/Cape/Comica Graphic Short Story Prize (Stephen Collins’ amazing The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, above), the month of May 2013 brings another bountiful harvest. In translation, my suggestions take in creators from as far afield as Germany, Norway, Japan, Austria and Hong Kong, while the English-language choices include new work by major creators like Jim Woodring, Alan Moore, Paul Chadwick, Neil Gaiman, Gilbert Hernandez, Jim Rugg, C.F., Matt Kindt and Gary Northfield. I hope you find something among them to tickle your fancy! And to get your hands on the first pre-publication copies of The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil and get them signed, come to the free Spring Comica Comiket on Saturday April 20th at Central Saint Martins near King’s Cross London. Also signing will be Mark Stafford with his chilling adaptation of The Man Who Laughs and Gary Northfield with his dino-tastic new Teenytinysaurs book! Read my PG Previews for May 2013 here…
