Stephen Collins: Director's Commentary & Launch...
Long-form comics, as I have now learned, are a slow business. Where a novelist will write the words “he sat in the living room and looked out of the window”, the cartoonist has to work out exactly what the living room looks like, where the window is in it, what the window looks like, what time of day it is, what ‘he’ is even wearing, etc. Comics are second only to animation in terms of its...

Announcing: BEARD COMP
To celebrate the May release of Stephen Collins’ brilliant hirsute graphic novel, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, we at Cape Graphic Novels thought we knit our own beard. (Obviously.) It’s already quite sizeable and is growing by the hour (though we’re not yet sure as to how evil it really is). We feel that the world needs more beards though, so we will be awarding an original...

Q&A: Warren & Gary Pleece
Hope y’all had a good weekend. This Monday’s treat is our second Q&A: this time with Warren Pleece.

Another idea we’ve come up with is to feature the spaces in which our illustrators work… toiling away endlessly to create the graphic novels and comics we know and love - thaaaanks! Well, I don’t know about you but at Cape we’re always fascinated to see photos of these spaces or studios, and we thought you might fancy a look too. For our first studio feature,...
