Happy new year to you! We look forward to seeing you for our next meet-up on Monday 27th January at The Walrus, Ship Street, Brighton, BN1 1AD. Join us from 6.30pm in person or 7:30 pm online, when the interview begins.

See here for details about our meetings.

The first Cartoon County guest of 2025 is Brighton-based indie comics writer Harrison Perry, who is the co-founder of the independent publishing company Warped and Torn Comics with artist Fin Clements. Perry and Clements have two comics under their belt so far, the soon-to-be-released Atonement of a Monk, which tells the story of an MMA fighter with a secret destiny, and the first issue of Project: Monsters about shape-changing dinosaurs. The latter title raised nearly £2,000 on Kickstarter to ensure its publication, with their new comic hoping to find a similar result.

Alex Fitch will be talking to Perry about all the above, finding patrons for a new comics company, and what genres have influenced their first couple of titles. More info here.

Doors: 6.30pm, Q&A: 7.30pm, The Walrus, 10 Ship Street, Brighton BN1 1AD / online via zoom (book tickets via eventbrite).

You only need to register below if you are attending online; otherwise we look forward to welcoming you in person at The Walrus.
