Check out some of the best of British Independent and Self Published Comics.
Last Saturday, we had the honor of hosting a signing with the legendary Michael and Laura Allred. After spending nearly 2 hours signing books, we sat down to have a conversation, where they talked about how their careers began, the genesis of Madman, the importance of David Lynch to Michael’s work, the status of the Madman movie, and what the future holds!

That’s right, the all-star duo behind Madman, X-Statix and iZombie, among many others, will be signing exclusively at Orbital Comics today from 5pm!
The Allreds have brought over a whole bunch of spectacular original artwork, including pages and covers from Madman, X-Statix, iZombie and much more, which will be for sale at the event. These really have to be seen to be believed, so don’t miss your opportunity to pick up some original artwork from the snappiest couple in comics!
Thanks to massive interest in the signing, we are going to be limiting the number of items customers can bring to get signed to 5 per person.
We’ll also be interviewing the couple for the Orbiting Pod podcast, so keep an eye out for that later next week!
Here’s a little teaser trailer for John Watkiss’s ‘Black Light Spooks’, which you can view in full tomorrow evening, presented by Watkiss himself. He will also be discussing his work for the Walking Dead TV show, the Sherlock Holmes movie, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and many more recent Hollywood movies.

Last Wednesday the Orbital West Wing hosted a Comica conversation between Tom Gauld (The Gigantic Robot, The Guardian) and Anders Nilsen (Big Questions), two of the most exciting cartoonists working in comics today. They discussed their work, their approaches to making comics and their thoughts on the comics scenes in the UK and the US, and the Orbiting Pod recorded the whole thing for your listening pleasure.
