You can now read our latest publication Blackwheel here.

Blackwheel is a graphic novel developed by Yussuf M'rabty and Ali Gadema with young people from the Belfield area of Rochdale in partnership with Black Box (co/Bright Books) and the Kashmiri Youth Project. The project aimed at presenting an alternative view of the types of characters, stories and environments that popular comics and graphic novels often portray.

Stereotypically heroes and heroines are musclebound and sexualised, heterosexual, predominantly of white ethnicities, and without human flaws of any kind. The BlackWheel project has worked with a diverse group of young people from Rochdale to create characters and an environment, and write a story that challenges readers and can provide a new local template for diverse and alternative comics and graphic novels.

Blackwheel has also been developed into a multi-media project and performance that can be used in education with young people to explore sensitive issues and topics.multi-media performance that includes graphic novel imagery, live voice actors, projection and digital sound.

A printed limited edition of the novel is also available contact us if you're interested in getting a copy.

Most Tell Us Another One and Cartwheel publications are now availabe as e-books on Issuu, including the current issue of Scribble magazine.

The Publications section is getting pretty busy, but there is less progress on the audio and video fronts.  We do not have the capacity to do a great deal of mail order and our print runs usually sell out quickly, so most documents will also be available as PDFs to download, although print versions of some books are available at cost or for the price of a stamp.
