Bryan Talbot is one of Britain’s top creators and
proved to be a major inspiration and influence on many of today’s
top British talent that have invaded the American comics market.
Although his career spans back to the 1960’s as a youngster, he
continues to produce innovative and evocative work that not only
cements his legacy but expands it considerably. Like many British
creators, Bryan contributed to 2000 AD including working on Judge
Dredd and Nemesis.
The Adventures of Luther Arkwright is one of the
first British graphic novels ever produced and introduced him to
an audience in the States. Luther’s story was continued in the
follow-up of Heart of Empire. His graphic novel dealing with
childhood sexual abuse is one of the most loaned out graphic
novels in libraries and serves as a tool for people undergoing
treatment for abuse.
Bryan spent most of the 1990’s working for American
publishers and titles such as Sandman, Batman, Hellblazer, The
Nazz, and Teknophage.
His recently released Alice in Sunderland, has
received enormous acclaim for its innovative approach. Bryan has
been nominated for numerous industry awards and his won two
Eisners and an Inkpot award.
Cherubs, coming for Desperado Publishing for
November release teams Bryan up with artist Mark Stafford in a
supernatural comedy released as an original graphic novel.
