Kate Ashwin is the creator of Widdershins, a character-driven adventure yarn that explores a magical British otherworld at the end of the nineteenth century. It’s littered with eccentric and quirky characters that range from grumpy bounty hunters to bumbling wizards, offsetting the trend for dark and gritty escapism. In this video she explains the process of creating a comic and her current project, creating a monstrous hybrid called Byron Clough, in collaboration with poet Andy Croft, for Nottingham-based comic Dawn of the Unread.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
