I've added links in the Graphic Novels and the Other Material sections (below) to a recent review of Invasion! by Pat Mills (classic from the very start of 2000AD), an interview with Larry Gonick discussing his new Cartoon History of the Modern World and a transcript of an event at the Scottish Book Trust where Cam Kennedy discussed the new graphic novel adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Kidnapped. And, as ever, my main online scribblings (on books and many other subjects - or sometimes just rants!) can be found over on The Woolamaloo Gazette.
