Here we have a fantastic collaboration between Dennis Madamba & Kyle Harabedian. The sharp eyed among you may have recognised this comic from a previous post! But Dennis has been hard at work colouring the comic, and I must say it was worth the wait. Thanks for the submission, looks great.

Clare Pattinson brings us a tounge in cheek comic touching on the idea or possible ideology of the new Ukip council, Elvis still being alive, the poisioning of the seas through nuclear accidents, and the cosmopolitian mix of people who end up living in Thanet… Great work and based on the topical issues arising in our hometown of Margate.

My story is a bit weird/topical – I’ve based it on a traditional fairground called New Dreamland in the days of the freakshows, bearded ladies, the little people, dangerous people, etc, but with modern day ‘freaks’ (people who appear different from the norm). No offence is meant – I’m actually saying “we’re all a bit different and what’s ‘normal’ anyway.
Best wishes, Clare.

Guildford College is the home of a wide range of visual and creative arts (as well as everything from construction to hairdressing. Our students are an eclectic bunch).

We are, possibly, best known for sculpture, with both Henry Moore and Dame Elizabeth Frinke walking through our beautiful School of Art doorway but nowadays we do a fine job of teaching visual arts on both desktop computer and touch screen. You may have seen us at MCM, LSCC, BETT, the Gadget Show Live, Eurogamer Expo and many more fine places in which case, hi, nice to see you again.

The students, every year, are given the Adventures in Comics brief, which is basically “two pages, that’s the title.” It’s fun and lovely and every year I love what they do. I hope you like it too.
