Christmas Eve Celebrations

TODAY'S EMAIL Xmas Greetings for you to share!

First up, this year's greetings courtesty of superstar artist Michael Golden and writer/editor Renee Witterstaetter.

Next up, you can't seem to open a comic or newspaper without seeing her work these days - which just goes to show talent can be rewarded! - Wolverhampton born and Birmingham based cartoonist Laura Howell!

Next, another Brummie based talent: From the pages of the venerable Punch magazine to adapting Terry Pratchett's work into graphic novels and more work for the German comics market than anyone with a cold can sneeze at, Brummie based, Mr Graham Higgins.

Finally, for today, greetings from the artist on this season's big-seller Gears of War, Liam Sharp.

And that last one's also a little teaser to reveal: the Giant-Size Band-Thing will strut its humongous stuff once more when you least expect it in 2009!
