By far the most interesting thing I found at the Bristol Expo over the weekend was a new comic from my friend Gary Erskine. Together with Anna Malady, Gary is creating a series set in the wild and wonderful world of Roller Derby. They are not ready for launch yet, but it is very clear from the preview art (see their Tumblr) that the series will both be a lot of fun and address real social issues. I don’t know much about Roller Derby myself, but Gary and Anna talked enthusiastically about the support they had received from people involved in the sport in the UK. This post on the website of the Cardiff team is a good example.
