One of my all-time favourite images of Bryan's: Hiram Kowolsky sitting in his room on London Bridge, just after the Royalist massacre from the #AdventuresOfLutherArkwright: known as the "I am the light of the world" panel due to the poster on the wall behind him.

Also finally sat down and did a site-wide search and replace for all links to the old Twitter account and replaced them with a link to here instead. We will NOT be associated with that site in any way any more.

We've been doing some tidying up on the #BryanTalbot t-shirt shop at bryantalbot.myspreadshop.co.uk Let us know if there's any images of Bryan's you'd like added on to a t-shirt, hoody or poster and we can sort it out!

Your reminder that pressure to curb trans people's rights to use public loos opens up everyone's manner, clothing etc to intrusive scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. History also shows allowing erasure of rights for one group soon sees others targeted. This is not a 'them' issue.

US publisher Fantagraphics are reprinting The Eternaut, the seminal Argentinian science fiction graphic novel by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano Lopez

If you don't know Bryan's work, you really need to do something about it. And GRANDVILLE is an excellent place to start.

Bryan sent over this image of Billie and LeBrock drawn by a fan and asked me to add it to the fan art gallery... - and when I did I realised I had not updated it in 15 years and it was still in the old version of the site! Here is the relaunched fan art gallery! www.bryan-talbot.com/fanart/index...

An update to my listing of adverts for legendary comic shop 'Dark they were and golden eyed'. Art by, among others, #GarryLeach, @bryan-talbot.bsky.social , #AlanMoore, #BrianBolland and #DaveGibbons. Got any more? Just let me know. boysadventurecomics.blogspot.com/2025/05/upda...

Basically traps AI crawlers and sends them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they get stuck and thrash around for months. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Really looking forward to this prequel to @bryan-talbot.bsky.social’s Grandville series!
