⁨A post to remind you the fair closes at 8pm UK time today (in 5 hours)! You may know there will be no fair next year, as (after 13+ years of knocking about in comics) I am taking a break, and hope to be back in 2027. But ⁩I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to the wonderful SBCF readership- I couldn’t do this without you. I know some of you have followed me from blogging to publishing to here, and your trust in me and my endeavours in comics keeps me motivated when passion alone won’t suffice. And a thank you especially to my big sister without whom quite simply none of this would be possible. وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ My warmest wishes, Zainab Akhtar (Illustration by @weisanboo for SBCF)
