Gorkana,
the publication database from Cision UK,
details many magazines and blogs that are currently looking for
writing to feature. I've recently done some work experience where I
learned about Gorkana, and decided I'd throw my blog in as a punt.
It's been accepted! Hopefully now people may send me some guest
writing about psychology or Manchester events.
This
week I read The Batman Judge Dredd Collection, a graphic novel I
found at Golden Orbit's
Comic Fair in Sacha's a while
back. Rather than one story, it's a collection of escapades made
possible by a 'dimension belt' that transports Batman from Gotham to
Megacity One. Yeah, it's far-fetched, but if you're going to put the
two characters together, whose respective towns are so different to
each others (not to mention in different time periods) then the
scriptwriters have to pull out the stops. It's a little corny, but
it's entertaining, generously weighty and beautifully illustrated,
with various artists chipping in. The cover doesn't do it justice.
The narrative gets a little strained in that, with any comic strip
being a series of images, certain things have to be written out as an
explanation. A great find.
