Panel Borders: Young graphic novelists, Spring 2012

April 22, 2012 — British Mavericks

Excerpts from Clockwork Watch: The Arrival by Jennie Gyllblad, Yomi Ayeni and Corey Brotherson / Gungle by Warwick Johnson Cadwell

Young graphic novelists, Spring 2012: As part of our month of episodes on British comics, we have our twice yearly look at a pair of young graphic novelists. Dickon Harris talks to Warwick Johnson Cadwell about his first graphic novel, Gungle, to be published in the near future by Blank Slate Books and Alex Fitch talks to artist Jennie Gyllblad about her collaborations with writer Corey Brotherson, including her just finished The Arrival, the first of a three volume steam-punk graphic novel series Clockwork Watch, curated by film-maker Yomi Ayeni.
