these sound intresting, may check them out. FMA (fullmetal alchemist) is good but its a manga as its a comic that comes from japan (i should know, i got the first three abd watched nearly all the TV seris Xp)

Thanks for the tips, Adam and Scott! I’ll be sure to check those out. Especially Fullmetal Alchemist, I’ve heard lots of good things about that…

Oh yeah and also as we’re talking about graphic novels I just remembered one. The newish cirque du freak graphic novels have been published. Book 1 and 2 are out now. it is based on the hugely popular Darren Shan series. My wish would be to make the Demonata into a graphic novel. A bit too gory maybe but still.

That is SUCH a brilliant idea…. spirals… wooooooh. Very creepy. May just have to get hold of those…

Mind you, I do have a triangle monster (Tryangletaur) in Spacemite (Monster Makers series while we’re all plugging!) so the shapes thing obviously resonates with me!

Would love to write a comic/graphic novel series one day… In fact I know what it would be called… Hailstone.

I don’t wanna come over all old and grey but I was quite heartened by the recent interest in comics – a la Guardian reprints – I particularly enjoyed the Bunty story where our heroine goes off to the country to find dumped stoves and fridges to clean(!)

Comics were the future but sadly we’re still waiting for the resurgence…comics help so much in encouraging quick scanning and skimming from readers – often the most reluctant. Mark Jackson and I are trying hard to redress this iniquity with our page in the Jersey Evening Post – every Saturday – called Simon Says – shameless plug, I know, but our hearts are in the right place – COMICS ARE THE FUTURE!
