Shout out to @jonlock.com and Nich Angell for their brilliant author profile 🤩 🤩 🤩
And to @thebookseller.com for devoting space to children’s comics like this. What a boom we’re in!
Cheers Jamie! Really kind of you. Caroline did a great job of making us sound like we know what we're doing. Just need to grab a physical copy now. Might frame it :)
And no, Nich's not on BlueSky, but we're both more active on Instagram.
A massive thank you to the fantastic Caroline for letting us wax lyrical about Tiny Hercules from Macmillan Children's Books, our origin story in indie comics, and the magic of comics in all forms.
The feature will also be reprinted in the Bookseller's exclusive Bologna Children’s Book Fair magazine - a show that we're lucky enough to be attending in person. Can't wait to grab a physical copy!
Nich and I had the pleasure of being interviewed for @thebookseller.com by Caroline Carpenter, the results of which are now available to read online and in today's print edition. Check out the full article here!

Episodes 101 and 102 are already in the bag and will be following shortly, so brace yourself for a #GrantMorrison crossover (featuring one or two familiar faces) of cosmic proportions...
They said it couldn't be done - and they were almost right! But against all odds, Episode 100 of the JLAcast is now live! It's so good to be back talking all things JLA with my good friend @pjmontgomery.bsky.social

Thank you for having us! We had an amazing time!
Y2 had an amazing morning with author illustrator duo Jon Lock and Nich Angell as they told us all about their new graphic novel ‘Tiny Hercules’. The children found out about the plot, learnt a little about how they collaborated on the book and then all had a go at drawing the main character. #r4p
Happy Saturday! We're continuing our celebration of younger readers this weekend: enter our Highland Cow or trials of Tiny Hercules competition, or become a READING LEGEND by signing up to our Kids Reading Challenge! #ChooseBookshops

The Children's Books You Need to Read in 2026 From further fabulous fantasy in the Archipelago to a brand new series from the creator of Bunny vs Monkey, feed their imaginations with riveting adventures, hilarious picture books and fast-paced graphic novels. With the return of old friends and the excitement of brand-new series, children’s publishing really does take some beating this year. Tiny Hercules (Paperback) Jon Lock, Nich Angell Price: £9.99 Paperback Coming soon - 05/02/2026 (Awaiting publication) A rip-roaring comic book take on Greek myth, Tiny Hercules finds our jam jar-sized hero landing in the quiet town of Chutney-on-Toast to fulfil twelve slightly-less-than epic tasks.
Well, that's rather nice. Stunned and happily surprised to see Tiny Hercules included on @waterstones.bsky.social' list of must-read children's books for 2026. Crikey, look at that! And we're in excellent company too!
2026 is shaping up to be a BIG year for all things Tiny.
