I Can Do That! The Jonathan Cape/Observer/Comica Graphic Short Story Award 2013

Sequential illustrators hear me! It's time again to show the world what you're made of because the Jonathan Cape/Observer/Comica graphic short story competition up and running again for 2013; surely the biggest competition of its type in the UK. If you need any incentive, just look to the new release table in the shop which features previous winner Stephen Collins' The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil (Jonathan Cape - see here for our blog post). Or 2009 competition runner-up Joff Winterheart's Costa book award nominated Days of Bangold Summer (Jonathan Cape). Or the excellent work of 2008 winner Julian Hanshaw (see here).
