SANCHO shortlisted for and Eagle Award! Again!


Just a quick note to let y'all know that thanks to your help SANCHO has been shortlisted for a prestigious Eagle Award, the comic BAFTA!

Now, Sancho fans, we need your help again!

To WIN the award for Favourite European Comic, we need as many people as possible to go to

http://www.eagleawards.co.uk/vote.asp

and vote for SANCHO in category 18. And then get all your friends to vote for Sancho too!

We may win the award, and you will definitely win our eternal gratitude. And since me and Ian have both recently been bitten by zombies straight from the pages of our own august publication, eternity may be a mighty long time.

SANCHO is a comedy-horror comic by ALAN NOLAN & IAN WHELAN and was shortlisted last year for an Eagle, missing out to Asterix by only 8 votes. This year, there's no sign of the indomitable Gaul, so it's all to play for.

Many thanks to those of you who have voted already to get us shortlisted, it's once more into the breach!

Voting ends soon, so remember the old saying "Vote early, Vote often, Tell a friend to vote!"

Al.


PS There are many other fine contenders in many of the other categories, including Irishmen Bob Byrne and Declan Shalvey – please remember to vote for them too!

Sancho TPB


Over the last few weeks I've been a busy lil bee, working on a collected TPB with all the Sancho stories from issue 1-4, just for the people who like their comics on a bookshelf insteada in a box!

It's got a brand new cover by yours trewly, and features artwork from the irrespressible Declan Shalvey and the irresponsible Archimedes Templar, as well as contributions from Ed Berridge, Bryan Coyle, Garv Giltinan, Charlie Gillespie and Davy Francis.
It's at the printers at the moment, hoping to have copies at the Bristol Comic Expo in May, otherwise it'll be available from our main site www.20000-leagues.com in due course.
