I'll be talking history comics with some really cool folks at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social in November :D

On The Right Side of History

Sunday 15 November 2026
1:30 pm 2:30 pm
Panel Room 1, Queen's Suite
Harrogate Convention Centre

Can comics educate as well as history books? Combining visual art and narratives to tell accessible and engaging tales, historical comics can take us back to both real and imagined worlds. Join host Kate Evans who'll be chatting with Kate Beaton, Yudori, and Fiona Marchbank about using comics as a time machine to immerse us into fascinating and significant moments from the past.

Oh dang, we fell for it again!

"What is this?! What is this supposed to be? I like Matt Fraction, Sarah Graley, John Allison, AND Becky Cloonan but who are these other three people? Is this an interview? Some sort of game?
Psychological torture? Whatever it is, it's a laugh!" is what you'll be thinking as you join podcasters Fraser Geesin aka Gary Lactus (SILENCE., Listen Through The Brown Window), Dan White aka The Beast Must Die (SILENCE!, Savage Beast) and Al Kennedy (House to Astonish, SILENCE! sometimes but not as much as the other two) in an experience that's hard to sum up in a brief blurb but is predominantly daft questions, ill-advised challenges and bad decisions. Oh, and it's about comics.
Suitable for ages 18+

I'll be on this panel on Saturday along with the wonderful John Allison, Becky Cloonan and Matt Fraction! See you there!
