Rainbow Orchid launch

Well—very belatedly—here are some photos from Garen Ewing's Rainbow Orchid launch at Foyles back in the summer. The delay in getting these to you has been caused by my laptop decideding to drink a cup of tea and then going on strike, hence no posts for a while. Normal service "should" be resumed next week. Meanwhile gaze in wonder at the comics literati as they sip warm wine and free beer in a baking hot room!

These photos go a long way to explaining why I'm a writer and not a photographer.

Garen's agent (or editor, I forget which) rightly big the man up.

Garen has drunk too much and is now sliding down the wall towards the floor.

Tripwire's mysterious Joel Meadows was caught lurking in the shadows.

Left to right: John Freeman, Peter Stanbury and Rian Hughes.

The birthday boys! Garen is literally a few hours older than me, as we were born on exactly the same day.
