A Double Signing With E.M. Carroll and Emma Rios

EVENT UPDATE. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, E.M. Carroll has had to cancel their signing. The signing with Emma Rios will proceed as normal.

Thought Bubble Festival and Gosh! Comics are very proud to announce a joint signing with the talented creators E.M. Carroll and Emma Rios on Monday 18th November 2024 from 6-7pm.

E.M. Carroll is the writer and artist of numerous award-winning comics, both online and in print. Their debut horror comics collection, Through the Woods, won both the Eisner Award and the British Fantasy Award in 2015. Recent work includes the erotic horror comic When I Arrived at the Castle, and their first full length graphic novel, A Guest in the House. They are also known for the short comics they post on their website, emcarroll.com. They live with their wife, Kate, and their two dogs in Ontario, Canada.

Emma Rios is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited ISLAND and created I.D., MIRROR in two parts: THE MOUNTAIN and THE NEST with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed PRETTY DEADLY with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.

Thought Bubble is the Yorkshire Comic Art Festival! A week long celebration of comics, illustration and more spread across the whole of Yorkshire, finishing in a huge two day comic convention in Harrogate. We use our festival week to promote the power of comics! We believe they can inspire, educate and bring people together like no other medium, so whether you're a longtime fan of comic art or have never picked up a graphic novel before, you’ll find something for you.
