The very first time I met Barry Nugent in person was at Bristol Comic Con two or three years ago (my memory is not what it used to be!), I'd been listening to his podcast Geek Syndicate for a while and I had recently launched The Sidekickcast. We got on really well and as I'd heard that he'd written a book I asked him if he could bring me a copy, that book was Fallen Heroes. I brought my signed copy home and it went straight onto my bedside cabinet ready to be read and to this very day I'm ashamed to say that is where it has stayed. I want to read it, I look at it longingly all the time but since we started the podcast it has been impossible for me to find the time to read anything that isnt a comic and 'for' the podcast. I tell you all this so you can imagine how elated I was to hear that Fallen Heroes was being adapted into a comic book, finally I could read the story with the added bonus of pictures, always good for me.

You can hear the author himself talking all about the adaptation process on the latest episode of The Sidekickcast, which acts as a teaser to the launch of the book and a panel we're doing with Barry at Cardiff International Comic Expo Saturday 26th February.
