FiF: Chris Shepherd "Anfield Road"

£10.00

Saturday 8 November

1pm

BAFTA nominated television writer, graphic novelist and director will discuss his debut graphic novel, Anfield Road about family, football, and teenage dreams.

“In his first book, Shepherd, a Bafta-nominated director and writer, steps into difficult territory with a confidence that brings to mind Paul Abbott’s TV series Shameless. This comic is full of sadness. […] But it’s also zany and joyful. Even amid such chaos, poverty and prejudice, people are always cracking jokes, while Shepherd knows just the right moment to deploy his taste for bathos.” The Guardian

Free for Folkestone Illustration Festival pass owners.
