Tuesday, 9th of January

The Metabarons by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Juan Gimenez – Comic and Graphic Novel Readers Club, Prince of Wales pub, Drury Lane, Covent Garden, 7-9pm.
Let's start the year with something different. Following up the Incal, Jodorowski set about giving us the origin of on only the character of the Metabaron, but of his family line. Many of the ideas of his famously failed Dune film adaptation found a home in this book. On art, Juan Gimenez provides some pretty breath taking imagery.

A frightening and powerful tale of the loss of freedom and identity in a chillingly believable totalitarian world, V for Vendetta stands as one of the highest achievements of the comics medium and a defining work for creators Alan Moore and David Lloyd.

Last Chance To Find Duke by Shan Zhang – Gosh Reads, Gosh Comics, Berwick Street, Soho, 7pm
Another year, another chance for some great READS with your buds at the best comic book reading group in the whole of London town. This coming January we're going back to nature with creator Shang Zhang's truly wonderful LAST CHANCE TO FIND DUKE.
Insect researcher No. 063 has one last chance to find "Duke", a rare species of cricket whose chirping sounds surprisingly like smooth jazz. Failure to do so will see the Institute for Studying Extraordinary Creatures cut funding for his research. The success of his fellow researchers and his own self-doubt weigh heavy on 063 as he sets out on an epic journey to the mountains where the fabled Duke last was heard. The final book from PEOW was published just before they sadly closed up shop for good, and we're so lucky to get our hands on copies thanks to our good friends at Gosh! Comics. So pick up your book with the discount code READSJAN24 in-store or here https://goshlondon.com/last-chance-to-find-duke/, and we'll see you all Wednesday Jan 10th from 19:00.

During the 2021 COVID pandemic lockdown Oluwasegun created a universe of superhero characters and stories set in sub-Saharan Africa, and worked with the artist Daniel Egharevba and book designer Charles Fate to bring the first of these stories to life – Olórò, the Grandson of Fádèyí Olóró.

Released in 1993, The Wrong Trousers introduced icons Wallace & Gromit to the dangerous foe Feathers McGraw, a villainous penguin with ambitions to put Wallace's ingenious inventions to criminal use. The film won an Academy Award®; becoming part of a long legacy for the company as the home of British animation. For the film's 30th anniversary, The Cartoon Museum and Aardman are collaborating to bring you a truly spectacular exhibition that celebrates that legacy. We'll be showcasing behind the screen shots showing the artists and studio as the film was made, set pieces and models seen for the first time in London, and plenty of surviving original artwork.
