Mindless Ones

If you’re near Harrogate this weekend and fancy talking into our faces or buying our comics, come visit us at Thought Bubble comics convention, tables B30-31, 2000AD!

Big massive genius Gary Lactus will be there with the latest issue of Pricks, the comic that’s come closest to capturing the feel of this rotten moment we find ourselves in. As for how it gets this tactile sensation across to the reader, well, you’ll have find that one out for yourself.

Mister Attack and Tam Rolland are debuting Reliable Witness this weekend. Taking Glasgow’s mythology as its starting point, this is a modern horror story in the style of Delano’s Hellblazer – just remember, you heard about it here first!

Handsome Dan Cox will be flogging his Doom Patrol zine, collecting work previously seen on the Mindless Ones newsletter (subscribe today!). Every issue comes with an individually collaged cover, because of fucking course it does.

Hench legend Paul Jon Milne is back with Suture, sure to be one of the year’s most powerful comics.

Last but not least, fancy pants author The Beast Must Die will be sat beside us at his own table, B29, 2000AD Hall. The Beast will be selling copies of the first two volumes of Cindy and Biscuit, alongside Secret Oranges, a collection of his early works.

The Beast Must Die will also have copies of the first issue of John Riordan’s William Blake biography Los at his table, because sometimes brilliance needs company.

If you’re about today, Saturday 15th November, Gary Lactus and The Beast Must Die will be hosting the SILENCE! to Astonish panel with Affable Al Kennedy at 1.45 in Panel Room 1 – Queen’s Suite.

As the blurb above says, this year’s show will feature the dream lineup of Al Ewing, John Allison, Kieron Gillen and Megan Huang as guests – 18+ only, in case someone does a swear.
