Susan Sainsbury on 31 October



Our guest on Monday October 31st is Susan Sainsbury, who will be talking about her two 'slice of life' graphic novels Kitty and Cheery Cak, published by Markosia. Both are period dramas set in the late 19th century and 1970s respectively, and tell the tales of female characters who don't feel that they quite fit in to the life and culture that surrounds them.

Susan first got noticed in the comics scene when shortlisted for the Jonathan Cape / Observer graphic novel competition for her submission Big Knickers, and has also had illustrations published in 'girls magazines' such as Jackie and Blue Jeans.

More info on her website: http://www.susansainsbury.com/

Patrice Aggs on 26 September



Patrice Aggs is an American comics creator living in the UK since the early 1970s. She is best known for her comics for children, with strips in The DFC and then The Phoenix. Recent work includes illustrating the children's book Abigay's Farm by Odette Elliot and No Country by Joe Brady, a graphic novel telling the bleak tale of a family facing the arrival of civil war in their country, which seems increasingly prescient in 2022.

Her most recent work sees the illustrator turned writer, as the author of a new graphic novel It’s Her Story: Shirley Chisholm, illustrated by Markia Chenal, which relates the true story of the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress in 1968, where she served seven terms, and also became in 1972 the first black person to seek nomination for President.

Patrice will be talking to Alex Fitch about these projects and more in our usual venue
