Great Graphic Novels (#GGN2022) Featured Review of Wicked Things by John Allison and Max Sarin. Everyone’s favorite supernatural detective, Lottie Grote, is back and ready to show the world who the best detective is! Fresh from her time in John Allison’s Giant Days and Bad Machinery series, Lottie is now 19 years old and wanting to start her dream life off right. She’s on her way to Oxford, ready to be on her own, and on top of that, she’s finally being recognized for her years of stellar detective work by being nominated for the National Solver’s Teen Detective of the Year Award. But, things go horribly awry when Charlotte is framed for attempted murder at the very awards ceremony where she was going to wow them all. Her choice: go to jail or join up with the local police to try and clear her name. She decides she’ll show them all just how talented of a detective she really is or maybe just how well she can fix everyone a nice cuppa. Wicked Things is a fun, full-of-mystery story detailing a young person on their own for the first time. The parallels of being in a place where she’s having to prove herself and surrounded by new and interesting people to the teen and young adult experience is a perfect match. Lottie is a fun and relatable character as well as a great sleuth who thinks outside the box. She’s finding her place in a world where she doesn’t quite feel like she fits in. And, after leaving her friends from the Bad Machinery days, she wants to make her mark in the work by showcasing her greatest love—solving mysteries! Growing up is hard enough, but trying to prove you didn’t try and murder your greatest inspiration, well that’s just the worst! Recommend this to fans of John Allison’s work including Bad Machinery , Steeple, and Giant Days . Other Nominated Titles. Feelings by Manjit Thapp (March 2, 2021) The Tea Dragon Tapestry by Katie O’Neill (June 1, 2021) The Selected Lists teams read throughout the year in search of the best titles published in their respective categories. Once a book is suggested (either internally or through the field nomination form), it must pass through a review process to be designated an official nomination. Each week, the teams will feature a review of one of the officially nominated titles. Additional titles to receive this designation will be listed as well. At year’s end, the team will use that list of nominated titles to select a final list and Top Ten. The previous years’ lists are also made available on The Hub. The Secret Origin of writer/artist John Allison. Best known for his work on the comic book series Giant Days, writer/artist John Allison has been on a roll with his current work - By Night and Wicked Things for BOOM! Studios, and Steeple for Dark Horse Comics. But before Allison was a prolific creator in comic books, he made his mark in webcomics - first with Bobbins, followed by Scary Go Round and Bad Machinery - the latter of which is still underway. Allison has carved a space in print and webcomics with 'slice of life' storytelling and refreshing narratives - along with a signature art style. And now in the latest of our “Year One”-style interview series The Secret Origin Of…, Newsarama talks with the English writer about his career so far, how he broke into comics to begin with, and the differences between working on webcomics and print comic books. Newsarama: John, to jump in, what made you want to work in comics? John Allison: I genuinely have no idea. If you look at the comics I made as a child, I clearly wasn’t any kind of savant artist and storyteller. The UK scene is so small that I was never going to be able to work in UK comics, so I didn’t take things particularly seriously - the USA seemed incredibly out of reach. I think being on the internet when it first kicked off, in the late '90s, made the world feel suddenly much smaller, like these things were worth having a go at. Nrama: Do you remember the first comic book you read? Allison: This is quite hard. I remember my Dad bringing me a couple of DC comics - one was an issue of Superman where he rubs some alien pollen on his head so he can have a haircut at a normal barber. I think he has to escape a gorilla who doesn’t like his black hair. You will have to trust me on this. Another was an issue of Arion. I think this was about 1982, so I was probably six. Nrama: What inspired you to create your first webcomic, Bobbins? Allison: When I finished university, it took me a few months to get a job, so I spent the summer trying to look busy at my parents’ house so they wouldn’t get “restless” shall we say. I decided to put a submission packet together for US comic syndicates - that was how I started making the strips that I called Bobbins. I put the strips online and the rest is history. Nrama: What attracted you to the webcomic form of storytelling? Allison: A strip is a manageable unit of production, especially early on if, like me, you'd never successfully made a longer comic.

Brilliant for YABy abydos6This Graphic Novel is good if you are a tween, which I am not, I bought it as I was looking for female orientated graphic Novels, and books. Some sections I did enjoy, and I think this title is awesome for teens or YA. Well done.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not my thing.By B. FoleyWith a name like Giant Days you would expect some fantasy. Nope. It's just a comic about 3 young British girls going to college. It's also pretty predictable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy GabrielaIncredibly smart and funny. This series has single-handedly gotten back into comics full swing. Between the emotive art and crisp dialogue, it's an easy story to binge-read.Would recommend this to anyone, really, but especially those new to comics.

They’re paying for the people.” Jack Conte, founder of Patreon “We ascribe to the idealistic notion that audiences don’t pay for things because they’re forced to, but because they care about the stuff that they love and want it to continue to grow.” Hank Green, founder of Subbable iii CROWDFUNDING WEBCOMICS – LIZ DOWTHWAITE – AUGUST 2017 ABSTRACT The recent phenomenon of internet-based crowdfunding has enabled the creators of new products and media to share and finance their work via networks of fans and similarly-minded people instead of having to rely on established corporate intermediaries and traditional business models. This thesis examines how the creators of free content, specifically webcomics, are able to monetise their work and find financial success through crowdfunding and what factors, social and psychological, support this process. Consistent with crowdfunding being both a large-scale social process yet based on the interactions of individuals (albeit en mass), this topic was explored at both micro- and macro-level combining methods from individual interviews through to mass scraping of data and large-scale questionnaires.

  • Bad Machinery and the Economics of Free Comics: a Webcomic Case Study
    Networking Knowledge 8(4) Digital Comics (July 2015) Bad Machinery and the Economics of Free Comics: A Webcomic Case Study PADDY JOHNSTON, University of Sussex ABSTRACT John Allison is one of a small number of alternative cartoonists in the UK today earning a living from their cartooning. However, since he began his first webcomic, Bobbins, in 1998, he has given all of his comics content away for free online. This article presents John Allison’s comics, most notably his series Bad Machinery, as a case study of how to make free webcomics an economically viable labour, achieved by Allison’s use of webcomics as a springboard for other commercial activities such as illustration work and printed comics. Taking an interdisciplinary approach consistent with the wider field of Comics Studies, this article draws upon concepts from sociology, literary criticism and economics to provide a theoretical framework through which to understand webcomics as labour, and thus to understand through this reading the economics of free webcomics, with John Allison as the exemplary web cartoonist. KEYWORDS Webcomics, John Allison, economics, crowdfunding, digital comics, content, cultural work, Foucault. 1 Networking Knowledge 8(4) Digital Comics (July 2015) Introduction John Allison is one of the most prolific cartoonists working in the UK today, and was one of the first popular British webcomic artists. His first comic, Bobbins, debuted in September 1998, when webcomics had existed for at least five years, but were still a new and relatively undiscovered form of comic art. The Comics Journal’s brief and cursory History of Webcomics (Garrity 2011) places this year in the midst of an explosion, with the ‘online population’ reaching a critical mass.
