The big little comics store hanging out under the stairs at Harrogate's Everyman Cinema. We love everything Comics, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Likely to re-post about comics we like the look of. Posting mostly by Regie, store owner. www.destinationvenus.co.uk
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please

THIS! We could not agree more.
In stock now, and fabulously good!
Join us at The Mercer Art Gallery on 22 March for an afternoon celebrating comics. I'll be talking about the art, craft and cultural importance of comics for the ‘Vision and Labour: Making Comics’ exhibition from Avery Hill publishing. Tickets here:

Tom Holland is in the news - congratulations are in order if reports are to be believed. However, rules are rules, and this slice of awesomeness must be posted whenever the name of Holland is invoked...

He can be charged with more than one crime. Being charged with MIPO allows for extensive searches of both physical and digital spaces. If evidence of more crimes is uncovered he can be charged. Of course, MIPO is really hard to convict on so a cynic might say the plan is to get him aquitted...
Only a half hour left to bid ♡
Not enough people know that in order to be considered for an Eisner Award... you have to SEND YOUR SHIT IN!!!!
The ONLY works considered are those that are submitted. And ANYONE can submit.
Was not aware of this show but it sounds right up my street. Off to find out where I can watch it in the UK...
It always blows my mind that I get to vote on these - but I can't vote for you if you don't get nominated - and as @jordancollver.bsky.social points out, if you make comics you CAN be nominated. If you're a small press/self published creator get yourself on the list!
Oh dear...
Oh my word- what is he wibbling on about now?
More Killtopia! You would be foolish not to back this...
Hi new friends! We make comics, and for the last year we’ve been making a smart, hella gay romcom about weddings, crime, and how shitty rich people can be.
Check out the cover and first 10 pages in the link, check the hashtag #WorstManOGN for a bunch of WIP stuff, and maybe give it a preorder?
He showed real grace. I had found the hype around him more than a little annoying, but that's on the media, not him. His reaction was the essence of sportsmanship.
any chance of a share for our Strip anthology currently on Kickstarter, featuring Frazer Irving, Declan Shalvey and Roger Langridge, and edging closer to its target Stripwire presents? thanks

I have told a few MPs this. I genuinely feel a lot of adults hate the existence and needs of young people. Then they act surprised/bewildered that these kids are anxious/depressed.
We have resurrected the "Wednesday Waffle" blog, initially as a way of explaining why our opening hours have been so erratic lately. Read the latest here!

Also - if you're in Harrogate between now and April, the Avery Hill "Vision and Labour" exhibition featuring a metric shedload of original art from Avery Hill books is still on at Harrogate's Mercer Art Gallery...
We have yet to read a bad book from Avery Hill. They seem to specialise in excellence...
Well, if you ever get the chance you'll have at least one retailer promoting the ever living crap out of it...
You're welcome - although I reserve the right to bug you about more Punks not Dead...
Indeed. I will spare you the 12,000 word essay in answer...
I wasn't thinking that so much as I was in my forties and bought the store because I was thinking it was my last chance to achieve the dream - because I was middle aged and such chances would be unlikely to reoccur.
And that was a decade ago, so...
Neil Gaiman has returned to the Internet to signal boost a Substack 'investigation' by an independent journalist known as "technopathology" which apparently proves his innocence
the main thing it proves is technopathology needs an editor.
I write and draw the daily comic strip Heart of the City! It's a nationally syndicated strip in 100+ newspapers and has a few collections of the early strips. You can read it daily for free on www.gocomics.com/heartofthecity!

Honestly can't say I blame you...
@davidmbarnett.bsky.social was the first comics pro to visit Desties after I took over. Heck of a nice chap - and Punk's Not Dead is two volumes of absolute perfection. If you have not read it, do so.
Then demand another volume. Because you'll want one.
