Off Register Press Signing With Shelly Bond, Sofie Dodgson, Laura Hole, Imogen Mangle, Philip Bond and William Potter

It's time to get excited for a very special signing with Shelly and Philip Bond's very own comics publisher and design studio, Off Register Press, celebrating two of their recent book releases with a handful of the incredibly talented creators that have worked on them. We'll be joined by Shelly Bond, Sofie Dodgson, Laura Hole, Imogen Mangle, Philip Bond and William Potter signing copies of Filth & Grammar and Geezer on Wednesday 9th November, from 6-7pm.

The esteemed Shelly Bond is an award winning editor of DC and Vertigo, editing classic titles like Lucifer, Fables, iZombie, The Invisibles and many many more. This electic career spanning over 30 years has granted her the reputation and knowledge that is unrivalled! Her new book Filth & Grammar: The Comic Book Editor's (Secret) Handbook is an informative guide that delves into the world of comics editing and grants us insight from one of the industry's very best. It comes with tips and illustrations from renowned creators, including Sofie Dodgson, Laura Hole and Imogen Mangle who will all be joining us for the signing!

Matching the size of 7" vinyl single, Geezer is written by William Potter and drawn by Philip Bond, following the mishap adventure of Martin Bland as he aspires to break into Britpop scene. Here's some words from the publisher about the two books:

FILTH & GRAMMAR is Shelly's 160-page magnum opus, a step-by-step guide to making comic books from cover to cover with artists LAURA HOLE, IMOGEN MANGLE & SOFIE DODGSON. It's the first time Bond reveals the alchemy and method to her editorial madness. And it's the first comic book "how-to" by a comic book editor!

GEEZER. London Town, 1994. Martin Bland was in the right place in the wrong trousers, pouting in polyester when Suede were all the rage, sipping shandies as Oasis rattled Blur at Camden’s Good Mixer, touring the States with rival band Clobber, sexing up The Word, and hobnobbing with Tony Blair at Number 10. You must have blinked and missed him!

This fantastic line-up of guests will be joining us on Wednesday 9th November, from 6-7pm. If you're unable to make the event, you'll be able to pick up signed copies from our website for mail-order or collection too.
