60 Miles presents: Community Comics
60 Miles presents: Community Comics centres the often-overlooked local communities who exist outside the mainstream narrative of Northants' rich social heritage.
Facilitated by Northampton legend Laura Graham, six local community groups were paired with six Comic Book Artists & Writers to capture the range of experiences that make up the place we all call home through an exciting range of perspectives, forms and styles.
Each artist produced a 10-page comic after participating in three sessions with their group. In addition to the comics, there are two supplementary pieces, which may include creative writing, interviews, or research materials, all overseen by Heritage Communicators. Additional oral history recordings will also be available for listening alongside these materials.
Crucially, all of the material has been collated into a single, stunning 116-page collection, uniting Northants' experiences together for people now and in the future.
