April Mad Graphic Novel Group - Nelson

[Arun Hackett]

Okay, so the votes are in and for April we are going to discuss... (drum roll)... Nelson!!!! Nelson is an anthology produced by 54 UK comic creators as the Thoughtbubble anthology 2011. It tells a collected story of Nel, each chapter telling the events of a single day each year from Nel’s birth till 2011. The book spans decades of British history. The book celebrates the diversity of British comics and the many comics that have benefited from British influenced contributions from humour comics like the Beano to Science fiction like 2000AD and even Superhero comics like DC and Marvel. Examples of contibutors include Jamie Smart, Kate Brown, Adam Cadwell and Duncan Fegredo.
If by now, you still need a reason to buy this book, let me give you another: All the money spent on your purchase of this book goes to Shelter, the homeless charity, so you can get a good book and feel good about yourself at the same time.
We have our usual routine, please bring a recommended £2 donation for the Madlab and about a fiver for food money if you are interested. Hope to see you there!!!
