It’s the end of September, we’ve only a few weeks to go until Heritage Open Days, and the Oswestry Advertiser has now published half of the twelve-week run of Oswestry Heritage Comics – and so I thought it would be a good time to pause and reflect on some aspects of the project. When I […]

This week, the Oswestry Advertizer is featuring a full-page comic introducing the Oswestry Heritage Comics project. I talk about how I got into using comics in archaeology, and why I thought using them in a local newspaper to shine a bit of a spotlight on local history, archaeology and heritage might be a good idea. […]

I’m very pleased to announce the launch of a new archaeology comics project. On July 5th, the Oswestry Advertizer newspaper will start publishing Oswestry Heritage Comics: a 12-week series of comic strips written and illustrated by myself all about the history, archaeology and local heritage of Oswestry and the borderlands region.

Those of you who are regular listeners to AstroRadio will already know that I appeared on their “Live from Oswestry Heritage Fest” show earlier today, talking about science outreach, heritage and comics. What do you mean: you’re not a regular listener to AstroRadio? AstroRadio is an astonomically-focused radio station that broadcasts out of Whittington, just […]

It’s Heritage Open Days this weekend, and the Oswestry Heritage Comics will be at the Oswestry Town Museum’s stall on the Bailey Head all day. I’ve created a special “Oswestry Heritage Comics” town trail for Heritage Open Days this year. The map is printed in this week’s Advertizer as a big double-page spread, and also […]
The Heritage of the Future?

Grab your sonic screwdriver and look out for Morlocks – this week the Oswestry Heritage Comics heads to history’s final frontier: the Future! We always think of heritage as being about looking back – looking to the past, to the things from yesterday that have survived until today. But heritage is also about the future […]

It was a great pleasure to meet John Pryce-Jones earlier this year – Oswestry’s foremost local historian. He’s the author of a number of books on the history of the town, all of which I’ve used extensively in my research for this series. His clear and precise way of writing, and the way he organises […]
Safeguarding Our Heritage

You don’t have to be an expert or a heritage professional to help take care of local heritage. Often it’s common-sense “do-s and don’t-s” that have the biggest impact. While everyone wants to be able to enjoy heritage places, it’s easy to forget that these sites and monuments can often be fragile, vulnerable environments – […]

To celebrate, Qube: Owestry Community Arts is hosting a month-long exhibition about the comics and the project in their main gallery space. There will be a selection of our favourite comics on display, as well as panels talking […]
