✨ Hamish Steele ✨ is at TCAF Table 092

Happy Pride! And to celebrate I will be highlighting some of my fave queer graphic novels starting with the hilarious Dogs on Dates by Luke Healy Every page of this book his hysterical and heartfelt! Brad and Bernie deserve to go down as queer icons and rom com legends.

TCAF is next week!! Will I see you there? Also: if you have your heart set on something, consider bringing cash or having the ability to PayPal me as my card machine may not work (it did at my las US con but who knows)

Criticism is valid. I love reviews and debate and have quite happily been a hater at times. But I am so sick of COMPLAINING. Complaining is different. Complaining is relentless negativity about everything, making things up to be mad about, obsessing over media that isn't out yet, just to WHINE.

Are you at London MCM Comic Con this weekend? I'm at table B1 in the Artist Alley in the South Hall. Here is how to find me!

Yesterday Go-Man: Champion of Earth won Best Middlegrade Graphics at the Leeds Book Awards! Thank you to the school kids of Leeds! It was so much fun meeting you all and discussing the twists and details of the book. You could tell how much they'd really engaged with all the books.

I will be at @mcmcomiccon.bsky.social London this coming weekend at table B1 in the Artist Alley! This is May 22nd, 23rd, 24th 2026 to be exact! I'll have the DeadEndia trilogy on sale plus Go-Man: Champion of Earth as well as tons of merch for both series and more! Will I see you there?

Have you fallen in love the Flavor Girls yet? In today's Other Comics, I'm talking about my favourite modern Magical Girl comic as well as the previous work by Loïc Locatelli-Kournwsky, Persephone. Do you have a favourite magical girl comic from recent years?

Tor Freeman is one of the funniest and most prolific authors in kid's comics! And my favourite work by her is Sister Clawdetta: Murder at the Monastery. What kid's comics would you recommend which don't patronise their audience?

I love horror but it can perpetuate some harmful stereotypes about mental health and neurodiverse people. Which is why I am thrilled to recommend Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social which tackles it so well.

Did you know that in the basement of Waterstones Picadilly Circus there is currently an entire room dedicated to Kid's Comics? You should go and not just because Go-Man was on display so prominently! But seriously go check it out because it is running until May 31st!

What was the first comic you remember walking into a comic store and buying with your own money? I bought The Aviary by Jamie Tanner when I was 16 from Forbidden Planet in Bristol.

Honestly though... WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO SAY??

Did you know that the creator of Pokémon considers the manga to be the most accurate adaptation to how he imagined the world? Today on Other Comics, I am shouting out a true guilty pleasure of mine and the biggest influence on my Go-Man series, Pokémon Adventures.

April is Autism Acceptance Month and I have always written from an autistic point of view and included characters on the spectrum in my work. Do you have any favourite autistic characters in the comics you've read or written?

What's your favourite comic book of all time? When asked that question, my thoughts usually turn to Beautiful Darkness by Kerascoët and Fabien Velhmann

Let's talk about some Other Comics, shall we? Have you read Osamu Tezuka's dark, supernatural medical procedural Black Jack? I highly recommend it for fans of horror manga, old-school case-of-the-week storytelling or for fans who only know his work through Astro Boy.
