Gil Kane Art Of The Comics 2001

This is a great book for all lovers of comic-book art and comic-book history. Gil Kane was simply a genius at conveying the human figure in action-packed dramatic scenarios. This book provides both a context for his work and a potted history of American comic-books post-war. But whilst the prose can be a little repetitive and stilted at times, this book is the very best archive of Gil's work I've ever seen. Kane's work is presented very clearly in chronological order, so is a valuable resource for tracing his artistic evolution. From his very earliest works in the mid-Forties, through his work on Green Lantern and The Atom for DC Comics in the late Fifties and early Sixties, to his legendary work in The Amazing Spider-Man for Marvel and beyond, this satisfyingly weighty tome presents page after glorious page of his impactful imagery. An indispensable work on the artist who ranks as one of comicdom's greatest exponents.

An evening with ... Mel Giedroyc

Mel Giedroyc will join us in conversation with a Q&A and signing. About Mel Giedroyc Mel Giedroyc has been entertaining the nation for over thirty years. A comedian, writer, actor and presenter, Mel is also known for her work alongside Sue Perkins, such as multi Bafta-winning Great British Bake Off (BBC) and Light Lunch (Channel 4). Mel has written two non-fiction books and has appeared in sitcoms and panel shows, as well as on radio and on stage, in Stephen Sondheim’s Olivier Award-winning Company in the West End and in Starter for Ten at Bristol’s Old Vic. Mel lives in London with her husband and two daughters. Her debut novel The Best Things was a Sunday Times hardback bestseller. About The Comeback The brand new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Mel Giedroyc is a funny, big-hearted story of second chances. Sometimes life surprises you with an encore… Twenty years ago, aspiring performer Gill Piper boarded a bus out of Leatherhead with a spring in her step and stars in her eyes. Things didn’t quite pan out… Back home again, Gill finds much has changed. Young Lights, the youth theatre group which coaxed her out of her shell, is no more. The theatre itself, once the heartbeat of the community, now feels like a has-been; Gill can relate. When Gill learns the theatre is approaching its hundredth year, she decides to put on a spectacular anniversary show to give it a comeback and unite the town.
