LAUNCH EVENT

Right then,

The launch event for the 5th Paper Jam Comics Collective anthology Robots... And That will be hosted at the fabulous Star & Shadow Cinema in Newcastle, and festivities will commence at 7:30pm. Watch this space for updates on a possible all-day faire too. It will cost the general public £3 if they're a member of the cinema, or an extra £1 membership fee if not. There will be live music, films on show, comic stalls, cakes, sweets and of course the fabled item for everyone's enjoyment. The date to put into your calendar is: 29th May. Tell everyone you know, we're a little further afield this time, so good promo will be essential! But rest assured, this will be our best anthology, and indeed best launch event yet.

That's how for now.

Antho Submissions

So far we've had FOUR submissions for Robots... And That, courtesy of Kwan Li, Regan Von Doom & Gavin Wins! (of The Stillwells), Martin Newman and Dennis Reinmueller (who produced the marvelous strip below). It's good to see new contributors, and it sounds like there are some amazing works in progress, so keep on truckin'.

Fairs Fayre

Andy Waugh of PJC and Melanchomic fame, organised a stall for the collective for Sunday's Fairs Fayre at The Cumberland Arms. Myself and Gary Bainbridge of PJC and Nightbus fame came along to lend a hand and we had lots of lovely stuff on offer. Go to Andy's blog (linked above) for the full run down. Here's some picture of me and Gary looking like idiots. Oh, and the stall.
