Norm Konyu Sells Out Of Downlands Before Thought Bubble

Cartoon Network animator Norm Konyu sold out of Downlands before Thought Bubble's planned debut, but Titan Comics has picked it up.

The Unofficial Thought Bubble Sticker Club will launch next weekend for the Thought Bubble comic convention in Harrogate. A book created with Decale Empire, including a mini-map and checklist of participating creators at the show who will be giving out free stickers for the book to encourage visitors to pop by a number of stores across the halls of the show. One of the participants will be Cartoon Network animator Norm Konyu in Bubbleboy Hall, at table B14.

He had been planning to debut his new graphic novel Downlands there, but it seems that Titan Comics has been too successful with it.

He will be offering four of his five books as well as prints and paper toy kits. Books available will be hardcover editions of The Junction and A Call To Cthulhu from Titan Comics, as well as limited numbers of his self-published A Space Between The Trees. In addition, he will have copies of A Fall From Grace, fresh from its Kickstarter success. Unfortunately, Downlands will be unavailable as he sold out of his copies. Which I suppose is a really good problem. It has been picked up by Titan Comics, and will be internationally distributed in comic stores in January 2025.

DOWNLANDS
A wonderfully evocative ghost story in the great tradition of M. R. James and Daphne Du Maurier with a contemporary edge. Perfect for Halloween and illustrated in Norm's own gorgeous style. "EVERY VILLAGE HAS ITS STORIES – THOSE OF THE LIVING – AND THOSE OF THE DEAD." After the sudden death of his twin sister, 14 year old James Reynolds becomes obsessed with her tale of a black hound, a folkloric creature that is regarded as a portent of death. Enlisting the aid of his elderly neighbour, who the local children call 'The Witch', he delves into the centuries of village history, folklore, and ghosts, until he uncovers a deeper secret beyond his darkest nightmares, beyond the sight of most, and beyond the mortal veil. Set in the South Downs of England, a place that has been home to Celts, Romans, and Vikings, James's story is interwoven with tales from his village that also blur the line between the living and the dead.

A SPACE BETWEEN THE TREES
When an accident strands them in the forest, a couple find themselves helpless and lost, watched over by a dark and ancient sentry.

I have, and though my being lost lasted all of thirty minutes, it taught me never to underestimate the maze a forest can quickly become. The Space Between the Trees builds upon that growing feel of dread of being lost and pushes it into the realms of 'The Twilight Zone'.US standard comic size (approx 26 x 17 cm/ 10.2 x 6.6 inches), 104 pages in length, full colour throughout, softcover, and perfect bound.
