Join Myriad for panel events, five-minute portfolio reviews and top tips from graphic authors Woodrow Phoenix and Darryl Cunningham at the Myriad stand at Wonderlands UK Graphic Novel Expo – a festival for all fans of graphic novels on 30 May at CitySpace in Sunderland.

The festival is inspired by Bryan Talbot’s classic graphic novel, Alice in Sunderland, and organised by the University of Sunderland to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Woodrow Phoenix and Darryl Cunningham will also take part in panel discussions, and at the end of the day there will be a Myriad stand party and special offers on books! All welcome.

Woodrow Phoenix will take part in the Telling Stories: Fiction in Graphic Novels panel discussion at 1.20pm. He will also be giving several showings of his 1m square giant graphic novel She Lives.

Darryl Cunningham will participate in the Graphic Lives: Biographical and Historical Graphic Novels panel discussion from 3.30pm.
