Manchester MCM Comic Con

 

 

Thank you to everyone we saw at Manchester MCM Comic Con! It was a really great event and I had a brilliant time at the table with Sarah Fogg. The stormy weather meant it was a soggy convention, but that didn’t seem to get in the way of the fun!

I launched #2 of Giant Rhinos In Space at the event. Most items in the photos are available to order from my Etsy shop or Sarah’s Etsy shop.  (and the Adventure Time/Attack On Titan poster on the far right is by our table neighbour Ryuuza)

The next event we’re attending is Comica Comiket at The British Library on Saturday 16th August! (confirmed events list on the blog sidebar)

Chapter 2 In Print

 

 

Chapter 2 of Giant Rhinos In Space arrived from the printers this week. I'm launching the comic at Manchester MCM Comic Con along with the open submissions Gorillaz Fanzine I organised recently. You'll be able to find our table in the Comic Village section of the event listed as Sammy Borras & Sarah Fogg.

We will also be launching the summer pirate themed issue of What's The Time Mrs. Woolf? as well as new free mini comics to hand out.

We have added a comics event over the summer - Comica Comiket at The British Library on Saturday 16th August 2014!

 Giant Rhinos #2 and the Gorillaz Fanzine are now available to order through my Etsy Shop.

(Sorry about the hazy photographs - It's very bright today and I tried my best with a phone camera and photoshop)

Ink Blazers, Smack Jeeves and Chapter 2

As well as reading the webcomic through the Smack Jeeves website - You can now follow Giant Rhinos In Space on Ink Blazers (formerly Manga Magazine). At the moment I'm updating with 6 new pages every Friday to catch up with when Chapter 2 is scheduled to go online.

Chapter 2 will return on Friday 2nd May 2014 with the first 5 pages

The webcomic will then update with 3 new pages at 12noon* every Friday!

*As far as I know Ink Blazers does not have a way to schedule update times so updates are likely to be out of sync but probably within a couple of hours and by no more than a day.
