WebFinds: Walls and Bridges

By John Freeman on August 23, 2006

Walls and Bridges is freelance writer Joel Meadows‘ new blog — he’s previously edited a comics magazine, Tripwire, and writes features on comics for a variety of publications, most recently The Times and The Observer.

I’ve known Joel for many years — he regularly reported on Marvel UK back in the days when it still existed.
