HELLO I'm so delighted to finally officially share A TRUE GENTLEMAN, the graphic novel I’ve been working on for the last few years & is very close to my heart.

Inspired by a lot of real queer & trans history and my own disability, with big marsh, big ships & BIG YEARNING #books

I may come to regret this decision, but...

SCARF! Sheffield Comic ARts Fair! Next October! Liam "Pais" Hill drew our mascot! Exhibitor application form will be out soon, tables will cost as little as I can get away with!

Please remember to apply so this isn't a terrible decision on my part πŸ™
