Thought Bubble Festival and Gosh! Comics are very proud to announce a joint signing with the talented creators E.M. Carroll and Emma Ríos on Monday 18 November 2024 from 6-7pm.

E.M. Carroll is the writer and artist of numerous award-winning comics, both online and in print. Their debut horror comics collection, Through the Woods, won both the Eisner Award and the British Fantasy Award in 2015. Recent work includes the erotic horror comic When I Arrived at the Castle, and their first full length graphic novel, A Guest in the House. They are also known for the short comics they post on their website, emcarroll.com. They live with their wife, Kate, and their two dogs in Ontario, Canada.

Emma Ríos is a cartoonist based in Spain. She shifted her focus to a mix of both architecture and work with small press publishers until working on comics full-time in 2007. Having collaborated with publishers like Marvel and DC, she was able to commit to working on her own creator-owned comics again since 2013, thanks to Image Comics, where she co-edited ISLAND and created I.D., MIRROR in two parts: THE MOUNTAIN and THE NEST with Malay cartoonist Hwei Lim, and where she currently co-creates the critically acclaimed PRETTY DEADLY with Kelly Sue DeConnick. The latter earned Ríos several Eisner Award nominations and a win for Best Cover Artist in 2020.

Emma Ríos' new comic Anzuelo from Image Comics is set to be released in November, just in time for Thought Bubble festival. You can pre-order a signed bookplate edition exclusive to Gosh! here.

A signed copy of E.M. Carroll's latest gothic horror, A Guest in the House, is also available to order from our website here.
