I've just bought this book, Drawn to Extinction by @petetrainor.fyi that sounds like an essential read on how AI can, and already is, endangering the comics industry. Includes interviews with creators such as John Wagner, Ram V, Patrick Goddard and more. Support human creativity!

Great to catch up with friends at Macc Pow; comic legends Tim Quinn and Dicky Howett and his wife, plus brilliant graphic novelist Rachael Smith, dynamic David Leach and more! I'll do a blog post this week as there's lots to mention including talking about the premiere of the Oink documentary.

Here's me 50 years ago in the scorching hot summer of 1976. The day I visited a comic shop for the first time. (Dark They Were And Golden Eyed, in Berwick Street). That was a long hot summer but not as hot as it is right now. #summerof76
