In this week's episode Lucy chats to comics creating duo The Rickard Sisters.
Scarlett & Sophie Rickard, sisters who work together to make graphic novels.
Sophie does the words and Scarlett draws the pictures. Scarlett has been drawing since before Sophie was born, and Sophie has been telling her what to draw since she learned to talk. Their first graphic novel was Mann’s Best Friend (2017).
The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was published in Autumn 2020 by SelfMadeHero, a graphic adaptation of Robert Tressell’s long and heavy-going socialist classic. It was released in the US and Canada in December 2021 and will soon be available in translation in France. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists was nominated in the category Best Adaptation in the 2022 Eisner Awards.
In Autumn 2022 they brought out No Surrender, also with SelfMadeHero. This book is a graphic adaptation of Constance Maud’s suffrage classic.
Scarlett's recommendations:
Old Macdonald had Some Flats by Judi and Ron Barret
Hostage by Guy Delise
Sophie's recommendation:
The Motherless Oven by Rob Davis
