ARTIST TALK: BRYAN TALBOT & MARY TALBOT Tickets and Dates

Artist and writer Bryan Talbot is widely considered to be the godfather of modern British comics and one of the progenitors of the Steampunk genre. Starting out in the underground comic scene in the early seventies, he went on to create Britain’s first graphic novel, The Adventures of Luther Arkwright, worked on 2000AD’s iconic Nemesis the Warlock and Judge Dredd and DC Comics’ Batman and Sandman, before achieving even greater acclaim for graphic novels The Tale of One Bad Rat, Heart of Empire, Alice in Sunderland (hailed by the Guardian as one of the ten best graphic novels ever) and, more recently, his series of Grandville books.

 He has also illustrated Dotter of her Father’s Eyes, the much feted first graphic novel written by Dr Mary Talbot, his wife, released in February. Both are here on Friday 13th April to discuss their work.
