Nick Abadzis, whose book
Laika has drawn deserved critical acclaim from many quarter of late, has just announced that he has a a three-page strip in
The Guardian from this Saturday (19th April)that runs for six weeks (every Saturday in the Family section).
Called
Cora’s Breakfast, you will also be able to
download the strip at some point, probably on this page, as you can with most recently-published
Guardian strips such as
Monkey Nuts,
Go Fish,
Robot Girl and
Good Dog, Bad Dog.
Cora’s Breakfast is part of a longer story that will eventually be serialised and then collected by an as yet unnamed publisher.
Check out Nick's blog to keep abreast of further news.
Laika is the story of
the world's first space traveller, a dog sent up in the Soviet space program. Nick was interviewed about the project for
the Comics Reporter site earlier this year. It's a wonderful take and well worth checking out.
(If you need another excuse to buy this Saturday's
Guardian, Paul Gravett written an article on superheroes and their role as propaganda for the
Guardian Guide. This ties in with the Iron Man movie looming, and the story of the United Nations working with Marvel on a comic
book with their superheroes to show what the UN does).
