“Magic of Myths: Faerie is actually brilliant” – Elf Lyons April 15, 2015

Lovely and talented comedian Elf Lyons has read Magic of Myths: Faerie – and she quite liked it:

“I loved it… I smiled broadly at Calvet and Corey’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s Puck as a feisty forthwright feminist – her appearance too is very unique and refreshing – not conforming to usual stereotypical ideas of a what a female hero should look like.”

Our book was actually tied with the classic Daniel Clowes graphic novel Ghost World for Elf’s ‘comic book of the week’ – to be put alongside Clowes brilliant work is amazing in itself.  You can read the whole article here:

As we gear up for the launch of Magic of Myths: Faerie on 18th April 2015 at the Birmingham Comics Festival this week, we’ve been getting a fair few kind words sent our way of late.

First up, massive second city newspaper The Birmingham Mail did a feature on the book, interviewing Corey:

“It made sense, given that the festival is a Birmingham-based event created by a Brummie, while my book is written by a Brummie – me – and based on a work by one of the most famous Midlanders in the world.”

You can read the whole feature here: http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/birmingham-comics-festival-magic-myths-8946767

We’ve also got our first review over at Geek Pride, gaining a respectable 3 and a half out of 5 and some thoughtful praise:

“Overall? It’s a very solid entry into the Magic of Myths series, serving well as an entry point for new fans while also holding a lot of appeal for those already invested.”

You can read the whole review here: http://www.geek-pride.co.uk/comics/magic-of-myths-faerie/

Sorry for the absence – a bout of the dreaded Norovirus decided to make itself known. But we’ve still managed to produce some good news as Magic of Myths: Faerie is still on track for its 18th April 2015 at the Birmingham Comics Festival next month.

So, how about a look at the cover?

That’s right – our Shakespearean tale of magic, betrayal, gender, fantasy and reality is closer than you think. We’re proud to announce we’ll be launching Magic of Myths: Faerie at the Birmingham Comics Festival on 18th April 2015. That’s just a short couple of months away, so we’re hard at work putting the finishing touches to the book which will have – and already has, if you’ve been reading the books closely – far reaching consequences on Eve’s quest in the main Magic of Myths series.

Here’s the artwork we’ve revealed so far, but we’ll be showing you a lettered preview soon enough.
