Gary Gray, our Senior Scottish Correspondent, writes; Looking at the massive amount of notes I (attempted) to take at the next talk at Stripped, the comics strand of the Edinburgh Book Festival, I realised we were in a totally different territory to the other talks as it was double the rest and was utterly scrawled[...]

And why was this one of the ones I was really looking forward to? Well I don't know about you I'm fed up people banging on about that there are no strong female creators in comics It's bullshit, they are out there just creating the work and getting on with it, such as Modan and[...]

They worked through Kickstarter, the crowdfunding platform, to gather people together who wanted this doll and insure everyone would be able to get her! That's pretty cool, right?
