About

Launched in July 2009 the group was set up by the illustrator and author of graphic novel Billy, Me & You Nicola Streeten and the artist and curator Sarah Lightman It is the first women led graphic novel forum in the UK. Artists, academics, publishers and fans from around the world are invited to speak.
