The Inflatable Woman is her acclaimed first graphic novel, and we'll be hearing lots about that as well as all her other work!
Talk starts from 7-7.30. Do not miss it! See you all there : )

This month we have two speakers for podcast - Ian Hague from Comics Forum, an academic website on comics which does sterling work in spreading the word of how intelligent much of what is done in that area of the arts is, in opposition to the general public's general view that it's all stuff and nonsense and not worth a bean.
And we have the amazing Karrie Fransman who will be talking about her terrific book, The House That Groaned. And showing some art from it maybe. We'll see.
Anyway, this is all going to be upstairs at The Cricketers, Black Lion St, Brighton, from 6 onward - talk at 7 - on Monday, 26th March.
All are welcome : )
