Chibi Shibby (Stories about Me and You) 
Paul Shinn (March of the Penguins)
Rachael Smith (The Rabbit, House Party, Flimsy the Kitten)
Tammy Taylor (Bon Appetit, 18 This Summer)

If that wasn’t enough, there’s a foreword by Laydeez Do Comics founders and award winning comic creators Sarah Lightman (Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women) and Nicola Streeten (Billy Me and You, Becoming of Age).

It’s an embarrassment of riches and I’m thrilled and in disbelief that they’ve all agreed to take part!

Tempo Lush Tales of the Tanoox is a follow up to last year’s Tempo Lush Tales (see reviews on the Big Comic Page and Broken Frontier).  Again I will be collaborating with some amazing artists, but this time round I’ll generally be handing over the writing duties to other creators.  It’s going to be a wonderful mix!

There is a definite theme to this collection too.  At times it’s hard to see out world moving forward and getting better so I thought it would be good to ask the creators to focus on the idea of positive transformation.  Obviously this can be interpreted in numerous ways and it looks like each writer has their own distinct spin on the idea.

It’s all coming together nicely ready for a launch at Gosh Comics in London on Friday September 18th.  Save the date – and see the Facebook event page here!

The book is available to order online here on Etsy!

That leaves just one question… What is the Tanoox?
