MCM London.

Morning all. Today is the first day of MCM London in the massive Excel Centre in the docklands area of East London. I’ll be at stall N626 just over the border from Comics Village. I’ll be manning the table through the weekend for Nobrow and Flying Eye and we’ll have a load of great books for you as well as a few poster, badge and postcard giveaways if you are quick enough.

So what should you be looking out for. Just a couple of recommendations.

First up and something that should be on everyone’s shopping list is the new volume of Hilda’s adventures. Hilda and the Mountain King by Luke Pearson starts off straight after the last volume (no spoilers) and those that are keeping up with this adventurous youngster’s life will know that something very strange and pretty serious happened to her at the end of the last volume. 

For those that are up to date with the Netflix cartoon series but haven’t read the books this storyline happens after the events of Season 1 and have some pretty darn worrying developments in the life of our hero. Grab a copy whilst stocks last!

Skip by Molly Mendoza is turning into a real sales sensation. This book is a multi-coloured visual feast and tells a story of two mismatched buddies, one human and one entirely not and very hirsute, who escape their fate by travelling/falling/chasing/scrabbling through visually unique dimensions. It is a book that has to be seen to be believed in it’s art and for all you badge collectors comes with a spiffy enamel badge with every purchase (whilst stocks last).

This book sells out at every convention we attend so get in early whilst stocks last.

In Waves by AJ Dungo will break you. I read this chunk of a book in one hypnotic sitting and it was a revelation in beauty and sensitivity. It tells the tale of a tragic relationship set within the surfing community of California. It also as counterpoint sets out for the reader the history of surfing as a pastime and sport. Mark my words, this book will be winning all the awards soon and is an astounding piece of comics by a newcomer. Highly recommended.

We have loads of books for all tastes so make sure that you pop by the stall. If you cant make it over to the East End of London today then visit the website at https://nobrow.net/ or follow along with the antics @NobrowPress on Twitter.
