I was so thrilled to have been picked as one of 12 comics makers to participate in the DenCity comic project, devised by Colin McFarlane of the University of Durham, and overseen by Jordan Collver.

It’s a very unusual project, looking at crowds through the medium of comics. Here’s the initial call for submissions, which explains what it’s all about far better than I can.

Anyway, I’ve spent the last few weeks putting together my four-page strip which looks at two occasions involving crowds: a rock concert, and the recent coronation of King Charles. The connecting factor is my favourite iconic rockstar Nick Cave, who as you may know was a guest at the coronation.

As ever, I’m doing most of my thinking and writing about process etc over on my Patreon, so do follow me over there if you’re interested to hear more.
