Posted in Profile, Publishing, tagged A Series of Unfortunate Events, Children, Egmont, film, Lemony Snicket on August 25, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It’s a chilling warning: “As if the recession weren’t bad enough, now British readers have the threat of a new series from Mr Snicket hanging over them,” Cally Poplak, director of publisher Egmont, tells The Guardian this week. ”As a responsible publisher, of course we shall put all our efforts into ensuring no child is exposed to [...]

It’s the cherry on top of one of Bristol’s most spirited spots – where jolly, jeering street drinkers rock beneath crumbling walls sporting Banksy originals; afternoon gig-goers spill out onto pavements from cafes-cum-gig venues to puff on their rollies; the spitting hiss of vats and vats of boiling oil sizzles from rows of red-topped takeaways [...]

It being the first day of the week might make my lauding of LA’s Secret Headquarters seem a tad premature, but you’ll understand my near-feverish fervour to spill the Secret HQ beans as soon as you check this comic book culture haven out. Pushing “a sophisticated take on the traditional comic book store”, Secret Headquarters looks [...]
