There are many unsung heroes working hard behind the scenes in comics to foster a sense of community and provide support for up and coming creators. Alison Sampson (Winnebago Graveyard, The Department of Truth, Women of Marvel) is one such person so it’s no surprise to see her name attached to this year’s Thought Bubble portfolio reviews opportunity.
Alison has arranged an incredible line-up of creative brilliance to provide these free reviews at TB this year. How does this sound? Stephanie Hans, Declan Shalvey, Caspar Wijngaard. Patrick Horvath, Ahmed Raafat, Jacob Phillips, Sean Phillips, Michael Kennedy, Jim Zub, Lauren Knight, Dave Wachter, Donya Todd, Marc Laming, Abz J. Harding, Zara Slattery, Charlie Adlard, Shazleen Khan, Marc Ellerby, Christian Ward, Paul Cornell and, of course, Alison herself. Pretty awesome eh?
These are drop-in sessions and you can find out more on the Thought Bubble site which has the full details here. Chances like this don’t come around often so grab this one in Harrogate this year. And, of course, don’t forget that we will be reviewing your comics throughout the month preceding Thought Bubble 2025 too. You can see details of how to submit for that here.
