What You'll Find on the Site
For the first time, fans can contact Carol directly through the website. You can also browse and purchase original signed artwork from her graphic novels, as well as pages from her many shorter comic stories. Signed back issues of her debut comic Way Out Strips are available too.
There's also a brand new, exclusive interview with Carol - well worth reading if you want to know more about her work and influences.

New printings of the rare first and second issues of the aforementioned Way Out Strips are issued in the same photocopied format as when they were originally published, £12.99 each. Plus nearly 100 pages of original comic art. Postage within the UK is free.
Gast Optioned for Film
In other exciting news, Carol's graphic novel Gast - a coming-of-age story following a young English girl who investigates the suicide of a reclusive, cross-dressing Welsh farmer - has been optioned for a short film. The project is being developed by French director Frédéric Bayer Azem. Gast was published in France by Ça et Là.
