Dark Red: Queen Brighid the Bright

17th April 2009

Hey Guys & Gals,

Thought you guys should take a look at this article regarding a new law in the UK. I've signed a petition to protect comic art from it.

It goes: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ensure that the future of the medium of Comic Art is not endangered by The Coroners and Justice Bill or The Criminal and Immigration Act 2008." - Submitted by Shane Chebsey of Smallzone. The deadline to sign is 1st May 2009.

The problem is that it's drafted broadly and could target comic writers, artists and fans. The main example being banded around is, "The Lost Girls" by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie. The government says it isn't meant to target these people but do we trust them? Make up your own mind and maybe sign the petition if you're in the UK.

This page took a hell of a lot of work. But I think it's been worth it. Definitely a page for the girls though. ;) Many thanks to Katie and Abita for helping make Brighid's outfit. Isn't she pretty?

And finally, Dark Red's got a mention here and there on the web.

Have a great weekend,

Lynn
