Here’s a scene from the TGC workshop held in London’s Orbital Comics last year. We had a brainstorm about what women and girls really want from comics. Thanks to Camila Barboza for the photos!

TGC’s Kat Sicard gives some background information on her beautiful map comics over on her portfolio site. There’s also a whole range of her other graphic design and visual communication work on there, go have a look!
“As comic book readers, we bring our inherent understanding of the formal elements used in comic books, and tend not to question how and why we read them as we do. Yet things like panel borders, gutters, the design of a spread, and the simple mechanics of how the book is constructed can play into our understanding and interpretation of the narrative contained within.”

A few of us made it along to Graphic Scotland’s Creators event on Friday in Plan B books. It was a great chance to catch up with old friends and meet new people. We’re always amazed by how many comicsy people there are in Glasgow!
To celebrate the release of our 5th issue, we’re hosting a special night of comics-themed fun, as part of the Glasgow Merchant City Festival. Hope to see you all there!
