I’ll be signing copies the excellent new book, Nelson at Forbidden Planet, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, WC2H 8JR tomorrow, Thursday 24 from 6-7pm. For anyone that doesn’t know by now (where have you been?!?), Nelson is the brand new book edited by Rob Davis and Woodrow Phoenix, featuring over 50 artists telling the story of Nel, from birth to the present day, published by the excellent Blank Slate Books.

There’s a whole host of great artists (too numerous and great to list here) and, er, me, as well as great storytelling and all profits from the first 4000 books sold are going to the homeless charity, Shelter.

It’s had really good reviews from The Guardian and The Observer and is now on sale through the Blank Slate site and at all good comic and book shops.

There’s a load of events lined up to launch the book this week, details here, including a celebratory do at Gosh comics in London, on Friday night from 6. See you, who (?), there?

And if that doesn’t make any sense, you should come and hear them talk! 7.30 pm upstairs at The Cricketers in Brighton this Monday the 26th.

Coming soon from Escape Books, the new anthology from those bad boys of British comics, the self-monikered Kray brothers of pen, ink and cheap newsprint, Gary and Warren Pleece. Featuring stories from the pages of post-mythical comic mag, Velocity, Crisis, Revolver and Escape magazines.

Watch this space for latest news, twits and free plastic give-a-way toy for first person to correctly send in the secret ingredients of classic lard based delicacy, Pig Custard.

Hugh Fearnley, eat your hearts out!
