JUNE MEETING - Friday 18th June at 7.45 pm DAVE LANGFORD is coming to tell us a fairy story. He is one of the wittiest and most amusing writers in SF today. Few British writers have ever been nominated for the US-dominated Hugo awards, but he has been a short-listed nominee four times, for fan writing, and his fanzine Twll Ddu has been short-listed once. He is also a former TAFF winner and Eastercon fan guest-of-honour, but has now turned professional, and is one of the young­ est full-time writers of SF in Britain. His first SF novel, The Space Eater, is being published as an Arrow paperback this month, and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that he will have a few words to say about it. (Such as "Buy a copy!*) Another of his books, Facts and Fallacies (co-written with Chris Morgan, of whom some of you might perhaps have heard), is re-emerging later this month in the guise of a Corgi paperback.

  • Durance Heads Arqana at €750,000
    SUNDAY, 6 DECEMBER 2020 VAUGHAN TO TRAIN IN KENTUCKY DURANCE HEADS ARQANA Ed Vaughan confirmed via Twitter on Saturday that he will AT €750,000 continue his training career in the U.S. from a base at Keeneland in Kentucky. Vaughan announced in July that he was winding down his Newmarket stable of around 25 horses, citing concerns about the financial viability of training in the UK. “As everyone is aware, with the reductions in prize-money and the cost of running a business being so high, the economics of training in Britain are not good,” Vaughan said at the time. “I'm taking this decision now because I can see things getting worse in the next year.” Vaughan, whose best runner was this year’s G2 Princess of Wales’s S. and last year’s G2 Prix de Pomone scorer Dame Malliot (GB) (Champs Elysees {GB}), told Owner Breeder magazine recently, “I came out ahead of the sales at Keeneland. I bought one there and received another for an English-based syndicate. If I started with around a dozen horses I’d be very pleased.” Vaughan said he expects to have his first U.S. runners around the end of January. Durance | Thierry Boisson By Emma Berry Under tight restrictions similar to those experienced in Newmarket over the previous fortnight, Arqana's Breeding Stock Sale began its four-day run in Deauville on Saturday with a strong international feel to proceedings. Participation at this select session from owners and breeders in America and Japan in particular ensured that trade held up pretty well in extraordinary circumstances as the French lockdown continued.

Kate Macdonald for introducing me to the fantastic Modesty Blaise. I appreciated her helping me in trying to find a suitable thesis topic and useful secondary sources. I would like to dedicate this thesis to my grandfather, whose dream it was to see me graduate from university. Although he cannot actually see his dream come true, I want to address my acknowledgements to him, for always believing in me. I also wish to thank my parents, for giving me the opportunity to attend university, for their love and support at times when my motivation reached rock bottom. An extra word of gratitude goes out to my brother Evert and sister Lisa, for being there when I needed them and for their patience with me. Thanks to all my friends and fellow students, for proofreading my thesis and for providing the much needed entertainment and moral support during these years at Ghent University.

    The Eighth International Graphic Novel, Comics Conference and Bandes Dessinées Society Conference Borders- Identity, Difference and Representation Monday 26th to Friday 30th June 2017 University of Dundee & University of Glasgow Welcome to Scotland! We have chosen the theme of borders this year. The border distinguishes one space or concept from another whether geopolitical, physical, psychological, ideological or temporal. As such it is a potent phenomenon in contemporary culture where invasion, contestation and negotiation of borders signal inclusion/exclusion or conflict. Geopolitical borders might deal with the imaginary lines on the map that distinguish one territory from another; immigration; citizenship; national and regional borders; sites of ownership; the topography of a space that can inhibit or prohibit; and the marks on the landscape made to claim one territory from another. Temporal borders include the construction of history through historical categories such as the Golden Age or the Silver Age, or the annotation of time in the comics medium. Conceptually and aesthetically one can also explore the border on the comics page, through the variable or imaginary lines that define panels or the page. Narratively speaking, comics blur borders, including genre, such as the constant evolution of the superhero. The medium also plays with the borders between modes of expression, as sound becomes visible; words become drawn; and the material becomes digital. In turn, we can ask whether there are borders between the terms ‘comic’, ‘graphic novel’, ‘sequential art’, ‘manga’, or ‘bande dessinée’? The body too has its borders: the inside and outside; gendered and racial identities; human versus animal or machine; dead versus alive.
