Join us online on 7pm Monday 26th July as Alex Fitch talks to graphic novelist Scott Jason Smith about Marble Cake. The book mixes kitchen sink drama with elements of magical realism as the lives of various characters intertwine in and beyond a supermarket in South London against a backdrop of disappearances and petty crime. Alex and Scott discuss the latter's catalogue of short strips as well as this longer work, including Scott's involvement with Top Shelf's 2.0 webcomics project, adapting poetry for comics, and moving back and forth between monochrome comics and colour.
